APRILIA RSV4 2009 RACE FAIRINGS & BODYWORK
Race fairings for the inaugural 2009 Aprilia RSV4 model—the bike that launched Aprilia back into World Superbike glory—are designed to transform the road machine into a pure track weapon. These bodywork kits offer maximum weight reduction and stiffness crucial for the first generation V4 chassis. Available in premium track materials: FRP (Fiberglass), Kevlar-Carbon hybrid, and top-tier Carbon Fibre (CFRP), they ensure full compliance for competition use, including the mandated sealed lower fairing.

Heritage Model: RSV4 2009 (The Genesis)
The 2009 model is the original chassis platform, distinguished by its unique fitment and component placement compared to later revisions. Race bodywork for this model is focused on shedding the weight of the heavier OEM street plastics while preserving the bike's groundbreaking aerodynamic profile.
1. Material Choice vs. First-Gen Chassis:
| Material Type | Primary Engineering Focus | Specific Advantage for 2009 Model |
| FRP (Fiberglass) | Affordability and Track Longevity. | Ideal for high-frequency use where minor damage and repairs are expected. Good flex properties help absorb moderate impacts. |
| Kevlar-Carbon (K-K) | Targeted Crash Protection. | Essential for covering expensive first-generation engine components. Provides superior resistance to puncture and tear compared to standard FRP. |
| CFRP (Full Carbon Fibre) | Optimized Handling and Precision. | Maximizing weight savings on this original chassis design enhances the bike’s agility, crucial for the more demanding Superbike setups of the era. |
2. Design Specifics and Track Conversion:
The design of the 2009 race fairings closely mirrors the initial WSBK machine, providing a smooth, uninterrupted surface area for optimal airflow.
-
Front End Fitment: The upper fairing for the 2009 model must precisely fit the original air duct intake, ensuring unrestricted ram-air performance. The race screen aperture is optimized for an aggressive rider tuck.
-
Weight Reduction: The most significant gain is realized by replacing the heavy OEM headlight unit and road plastics with the lightweight race nose cone and side panels, often leading to a total weight saving of several kilograms.
-
Cooling System: Although the original V4 runs hot, the race fairings often feature larger, smoother exits for hot air to escape the engine bay quickly, preventing thermal fatigue during a full race distance.
-
Simplified Conversion: Reputable manufacturers like Sebimoto design their 2009 kits for direct mounting onto the original road chassis points, drastically simplifying the conversion process from street to race bike.
3. Competitive Use and Aftermarket Support:
The 2009 RSV4 remains a popular, affordable, and competitive bike in club and national-level racing.
-
Accessibility: The availability of durable and precise aftermarket fairings ensures that teams and privateers can maintain the bike competitively despite its age.
-
Proven Platform: The geometry and design of these early fairings are race-proven, having been refined during the initial launch years of the RSV4 platform's WSBK success.
Investing in high-quality race bodywork for the 2009 RSV4 ensures your bike is race-ready, aesthetically sharp, and compliant with all technical regulations.
