Jon Railton - 2011 Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship - All New Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC
I am pleased to confirm that I will be riding for the IN MOTO Corse once again in the 2011 Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship aboard the all new 2011 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC. With early dyno results showing a good improvement in horsepower and with the advanced electronics package that has been fitted the decision was made to stay with the Aprilia.
This is the ideal situation heading into the new season, as I already understand the characteristics of the bike and everyone in the team works well together. The set-up data that we collected last year is available for all circuits apart from Donington Park and the new Snetterton 300.
As I've mentioned the 2011 model comes with an advanced electronics package. The system is called Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC), which includes traction control, wheelie control, launch control and a quick shifter. Recent reports have described the APRC system as being one of the best packages available for a production motorcycle and descend directly from the system used by 2010 Superbike Champion Max Biaggi. The system is explained in the following videos.
The official Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC video can be viewed via the following link.
I am looking forward to the start of the season and cannot wait to get back on a bike again after the long winter layoff. My first opportunity to test the bike is pencilled in for the end of February at the new Snetterton 300 circuit, which is another exciting development in the racing world. The first round of the season is at Brands Hatch on the Indy circuit at the end of April. With this being an unusually late start it means that we have extra time to prepare and perfect the bike.
I am also very grateful to my personal sponsors and product partners who will be continuing their support into 2011 and I look forward to working with everyone again this year.
I have recently received the new Spyke Raptor leathers, Spyke Totem 2 boots and Weise gloves, which have been supplied by The Key Collection.
Oxford Products are providing the latest HJC R-PHA 10 helmet, as used by Ben Spies, in the BE ONE graphics.
