Aprilia's latest patent reveals the fusion of MotoGP innovations and road motorcycle technology, a move that could potentially change the future of motorcycle design and performance.

Insight into Aprilia’s patent: aerodynamics inspired by racing

Aprilia has filed a new patent that sheds light on possible future developments in the motorcycle industry.  The patent relates to an aerodynamic design that was originally developed for the RS-GP MotoGP bike.  It combines a rear wing and spoiler in a way that could be suitable for both racetracks and potentially for road motorcycles.

 

The potential behind the patent: aero technology for the road?

The patent describes in detail how the rear wing and spoiler system works and suggests that this technology could potentially be transferred to road motorcycles.  While the benefits of such aerodynamic elements in racing are obvious, their potential use for road motorcycles remains unclear.

 

Practical benefits of aero features

The system patented by Aprilia is more than just a simple rear wing.  It combines side-mounted wings with a high-mounted spoiler, which aims to keep the rear wheel on the road, especially at high speeds and under braking. As described in the patent, this can improve riding in certain situations, such as braking in corners.

 

Aprilia’s position in Superbike racing

Although Aprilia does not currently compete in the WSBK series, a patented design such as this could offer advantages in the future, especially as WSBK rules allow winglets if they are fitted to the relevant production models.  This patent shows Aprilia’s interest in incorporating their racing technology into future production models, similar to what other manufacturers are already doing.

 

Summary: Aprilia’s approach to motorcycle development

Aprilia’s patent reflects the trend to use racing technologies in production motorcycles.  While the direct benefits of such aerodynamic features are yet to be proven on the road, the patent shows that Aprilia is exploring ways to transfer its racing experience to everyday motorcycles.  How and when these technologies will be implemented in future Aprilia models remains to be seen.
