Every profile, bore and surface is cut on a Haas VM3 vertical machining centre — a platform favoured by motorsport fabricators for its dimensional accuracy and repeatability. The result is a linkage that is 35% stiffer than the part it replaces, keeping suspension geometry consistent even when the chassis is loaded hard mid-corner. Fresh bearings are included in the kit so the installation begins with zero play; existing hardware from the stock assembly bolts straight back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuspension Performance and Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RSV4's standard linkage produces a rising-rate characteristic that can feel vague early in the suspension stroke and abrupt at the limit. Forsaken Motorsport's MotoSpec software was used to design a geometry that linearises this response, giving the rear shock a more even spring rate throughout its travel. The practical outcome is more progressive, exploitable traction under acceleration and a rear end that communicates more faithfully under trail-braking. The stock spring remains fully serviceable; riders seeking the most from the conversion may also consider re-valving the shock to suit the flatter rate profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct replacement for the following Aprilia models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 (2009–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 Factory (2009–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 R (2009–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAprilia RSV4 RR (2009–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor solo rider use only.
