DescriptionThe whole story▼
Melotti's racing clip-ons for the Aprilia RS 660 were built using the same technology as the company's GP model, and they are meant for a very specific kind of RS 660: one already wearing a racing fairing, because that is the only bodywork Melotti says the clip-ons are compatible with. In exchange for that restriction, the kit brings a feature taken straight from MotoGP and Superbike paddocks, where a single bolt lets a team swing the clip-on through its full range of adjustment in seconds, without stripping the front end down to do it.
Key Features
- Racing clip-ons for the Aprilia RS 660, Melotti part SM.AP.721
- Single Allen bolt links clip-on to the top yoke for 14° of continuous rotation
- Frontal conical coupling between clip-on and stub, derived from GP machines
- Predetermined collapse section protects the fork internals in a crash
- Anti-rotation and anti-slip retention built into the clip-on
- Vernier scales for opening angle and for shortening the stub if needed
- Inclination 7°, offset 20mm, tube length 240mm, for 51mm forks
- Usable only in combination with a racing fairing
Construction and Material Quality
The clip-on meets its stub through a frontal conical coupling lifted from Melotti's GP programme, a shape chosen because it gives high rigidity in a very small external package, and because it leaves the stub's full 240mm length free for mounting levers and switchgear rather than losing part of it to the clamp itself. A single Allen bolt clamps the clip-on to the top yoke while still allowing 14° of continuous rotation between the bike's original bar position and a full racing crouch, and because the clip-on stays attached to the yoke throughout that movement, the forks can be pulled for service without the bars coming off separately. Should the stub ever fail in a fall, a predetermined collapse section is built in specifically so the load does not transfer into the fork tube and wreck the hydraulics inside it; an anti-rotation and anti-slip system then keeps what remains of the clip-on from twisting or sliding on the stub. The tube itself runs 22mm outside diameter and 16.5mm inside, sized for 51mm forks, set at a 7° inclination with a 20mm forward offset, and a second vernier scale at the tip of the stub allows it to be shortened to suit a rider who needs it.
Setting Up in the Pit Box
The 14° of rotation is the detail that changes how a team works on the RS 660 between sessions. Because the clip-on never has to be unbolted from the yoke to change its angle, a mechanic can take the bars from a relaxed opening to a full racing tuck, or back again, with the forks still in the bike and without touching a torque wrench on anything but the single clamp bolt. The vernier scale means that adjustment is repeatable rather than guessed by eye, so a rider who finds a preferred position in free practice can have it set again identically after the forks have been pulled for a fluid change or a seal replacement overnight. It is this combination, fast resetting and a clip-on that cannot work loose on the stub thanks to the anti-rotation feature, that the clip-ons were designed around rather than any single dimension on their own.
Fitment and Compatibility
Melotti lists the SM.AP.721 for the Aprilia RS 660, built since 2021, to pair with the company's own top yoke. Melotti says the clip-ons require a racing fairing and cannot be fitted with the standard road bodywork. Riders running Melotti's steering limiter (LS.AP.7211), top yoke (PS.AP.721), steering damper bracket (SA.AP.7212) or dashboard protection (DC.AP.7211) on the same RS 660 can combine all of them with these clip-ons at the steering head.
Road Approval
There is no German ABE, no component certificate and no EC type approval for this pair of clip-ons. Melotti builds it for racing and closed-circuit use only; riding an RS 660 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.
Scope of Delivery
One pair of SM.AP.721 racing clip-ons for the Aprilia RS 660 in black or natural anodised finish, with the mounting bolt and vernier hardware needed to fit them to the top yoke.
