DescriptionThe whole story▼

An RSV4 RF of 2015 to 2018 has usually covered many track sessions by now, and its gear change may no longer feel as crisp as it once did. The Gilles Shiftholder for the Aprilia RSV4 RF supports the shift shaft where it leaves the engine and restores a positive feel.

Key Features

  • Individual parts available as spares
  • Supports the shift shaft where it leaves the engine
  • Prevents the shaft from flexing under hard shifts
  • Needle bearing for the shaft
  • Hard-anodised in titanium colour
  • No registration required in Germany

For bikes with a track history

Repeated hard shifting at the limit loads the shift mechanism every lap. A support for the shaft reduces the flex that can make gear changes vague, which is useful on a bike that still sees regular track use.

Race-bred and still raced

The RF was sold with racing in mind, and many of these bikes still run in club events and endurance races. There, the gearbox is worked hard for long periods. A stable shift shaft keeps gear changes consistent through a long stint, when the rider is tired and the shifts become less precise.

Road Approval

No registration is needed. The Shiftholder does not change the position of any control or any other approved characteristic of the Aprilia RSV4 RF; it only supports the shift shaft where it leaves the engine. Nothing has to be entered in the vehicle documents, and no inspection is required.

Scope of Delivery
