Aprilia SXV 4.5, 5.5

Aprilia SXV 2009 is receiving a revised swingarm and ergonomics, as well as some new graphics. That swingarm is now made with a cast aluminum body and hydroformed members, meaning it’s both lighter and more flexible; better for traction and stability over rough ground. The seat height is also lowered 5mm thanks to a new, lighter rear subframe. Our favorite change is the simple, bold graphics that reflect Aprilia's new graphic design language.
