1st race: September 8 - Cremona — 2nd race: October 6 - Misano, both in Italy — The 2025 championship will have a bigger calendar — Dates yet to be announced
The bike used will be the Aprilia RS 457 Trofeo, which is basically the RS 457 road bike converted into a racing bike with the Racing Trophy Kit
The Aprilia RS 457 is an all-new 457cc supersport bike — First unveiled at EICMA 2023 and launched in India in December 2023 — Manufactured in Baramati, Maharashtra
Powered by a 457cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine that produces 47.6PS and 43.5Nm
The Racing Trophy Kit contains a racing ECU (Electronic Control Unit), a racing air filter by Sprint Filter and a racing switch and control panel by Jet Prime
A different plastic fairing compared to the road bike — Fibreglass tank cover and tail section
No headlight and rear view mirrors, of course! It is a racing bike after all — The seat has been replaced by something you see on regular racing bikes
Lastly, it gets a racing exhaust developed in collaboration with SC Project
The RS 457 Trofeo racing bike will be used in the Single Manufacturer Championship. The bike is based on the road-legal RS 457 manufactured in India
