In our braking test the Aprilia was toward the back of the field recording a stopping distance of 131 feet from 60 mph. This is surprising considering the RSV employs Brembo radial-mount monobloc calipers up front that grip down on large 320mm diameter discs just like the Ducati and KTM. Out back a single 220mm disc and Brembo twin-piston caliper keep rear wheel speed in check. Both brakes also benefit from stainless-steel brake lines. The problem can most likely be attributed to lack of front brake feel. While outright stopping force is at a high level it’s hard to achieve because the brakes simply don’t deliver enough feedback through the lever to really allow a rider to comfortably use them near the limit of lock-up.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rofl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rofl:" title="ROFL    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rofl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rofl:" title="ROFL    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" /></blockquote>
