On a bike that was never the flagship to begin with, dropping around 100 grams from the plate above the forks, close to 200 grams below Aprilia's own original fitting, is one of the more direct ways to close the gap to a Factory-specification front end without buying a different bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGP top yoke for the Aprilia RSV4 1100, Melotti part PS.AP.509P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined from aluminium alloy on CNC machines with 3D technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReworked lower geometry saves around 100 grams over the standard yoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose to 200 grams lighter than Aprilia's original fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished weight of only 330 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVernier scale for clip-on opening angle adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetains the original seagull-wing profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack anodised finish, stainless countersunk screws included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelotti machines the yoke from aluminium alloy on CNC equipment with 3D milling, bringing the finished part down to 330 grams, roughly 100 grams less than its earlier yoke and close to 200 grams under Aprilia's standard fitting for the RSV4 1100. The weight comes off through a reworked lower geometry rather than a flatter or simpler shape, so the original seagull-wing profile stays intact, and a vernier scale is still cut into the clip-on brackets for a precise, repeatable opening angle. Stainless countersunk screws are included, and the yoke is finished in black anodising to match the rest of the RSV4 1100's cockpit hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClosing the Gap to Factory Spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard RSV4 1100 and the Factory version share enough underneath that a yoke built for one bolts straight onto the other, which means an owner of the standard bike does not have to accept a heavier front end just because their model name is shorter. The weight this yoke removes sits directly above the steering head, exactly where it has the most effect on how quickly the front tyre responds to small inputs, and on a bike used for trackdays or club racing that response is one of the more noticeable differences between the two trim levels. Fitting the GP yoke is a way to bring a standard RSV4 1100's front end a meaningful step closer to what the Factory carries from new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelotti builds this GP yoke for the standard RSV4 1100, sold since 2021, and the Factory version uses the identical part, so the fitment does not depend on which trim is being upgraded. It replaces the Road top yoke, PS.AP.509S, rather than sitting alongside it, while Melotti's RBS brake system (RBS.AP.509) mounts independently and can be added to either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no German ABE, no component certificate and no EC type approval for this yoke. Melotti builds it for racing and closed-circuit use only; riding an RSV4 1100 fitted with it on public roads in Germany is not permitted without a separate entry, and any race meeting applies its own organiser's rules on top of this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne PS.AP.509P GP top yoke for the Aprilia RSV4 1100 in black anodised finish, complete with its stainless steel countersunk screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart: GP Top Yoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: PS.AP.509P1S, PS.AP.509P2S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black \/ Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Aprilia RSV4 1100 (2021-2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad approval: None documented, track use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Italy (Castello di Brianza)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Melotti Racing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53900501778698,"sku":"PS.AP.509P1S","price":372.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural","offer_id":53900501844234,"sku":"PS.AP.509P2S","price":372.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/34135_01_4439fb10-fd7a-4e6e-9f66-319745ade4f4.png?v=1791819102","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/melotti-racing-gp-top-yoke-aprilia-rsv4-1100-2021-2026-ps-ap-509p1s","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
