The slots across its face are cut to make the yoke more responsive to lateral load rather than purely to save that weight, letting the front tyre follow small changes in the road surface a touch more readily through a fast corner. Aprilia's original steering profile is kept rather than replaced with a flatter, simpler shape, so the fork settings an RSV4 1100 owner is used to carry over without adjustment. A vernier notch on the clip-on brackets gives a fixed point to reset the bar opening angle to, and the whole yoke is finished in black anodising with stainless Pro-Bolt screws, the fastener brand used by most MotoGP and Superbike teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Race Look on a Road Bike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost RSV4 1100 owners never take their bike onto a circuit, but the steering head is one of the few places where a change is visible from the saddle every time the bike is ridden, and Melotti built this yoke with that in mind as much as the flex it adds. The black anodised finish and the Pro-Bolt fasteners give the cockpit a noticeably more purposeful look without touching the bike's fork settings or its handling in any way that would surprise a rider used to the standard set-up, which is why it suits an RSV4 1100 that spends most of its time on the road and only occasionally sees a trackday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same Road top yoke that Melotti lists for the RSV4 1100 Factory also fits the standard RSV4 1100 without any change. Deciding between this yoke and the GP version, PS.AP.509P, means picking one for the steering head rather than running both, while the RBS brake system (RBS.AP.509) can be fitted regardless of which yoke is chosen.\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.509S road top yoke for the Aprilia RSV4 1100 in black anodised finish, complete with its stainless steel countersunk Pro-Bolt screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart: Road Top Yoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: PS.AP.509S1S, PS.AP.509S2S\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":53900502827274,"sku":"PS.AP.509S1S","price":358.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural","offer_id":53900502925578,"sku":"PS.AP.509S2S","price":358.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/29924_00_79de935b-3edb-42f7-963c-23e3e4602283.png?v=1791819133","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/melotti-racing-road-top-yoke-aprilia-rsv4-1100-2021-2026-ps-ap-509s1s","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
