About RS 150
The Aprilia RS150 is supersport in much the vein of the Yamaha YZF-R15. It is derived from the RS125, a 125cc supersport that is popular in the European market. However, the 150 has, as the name suggests, a 150cc engine. It will have four valves, fuel injection and liquid cooling and generate around 18bhp. The concept on display at the Auto Expo also had a quickshifter for the six-speed gearbox, but we do not expect this to make it to production to save costs. Also on the chopping block are the upside-down front forks, radially mounted, fixed brake callipers, and ABS. The RS150 should debut sometime in 2019 and will compete with the Yamaha YZF-R15 V3 and the KTM RC200.
