The Sportbike world championship regulations enforce a maximum engine power limit of 90 horsepower. With a stock output of 95 horsepower, the Aprilia RS660 sits very close to this threshold and requires only minimal restriction. Engineers in Noale meticulously tuned the chassis and suspension setup for competitive track duty. It came as a genuine surprise that during the inaugural season of this entry-level class, the machine was exclusively deployed by the Revo M2 and MMR squads.
Serving as the chief standard-bearer for the marque throughout the campaign was Matteo Vannucci. The Italian rider delivered the RS660's first-ever podium finish by claiming second place during Race 2 at Assen, followed by a milestone maiden victory in Race 1 at Most. The only other top-three result was secured by wildcard competitor Filippo Bianchi during the race weekend at Misano.
Although Vannucci concluded the season in seventh place in the overall standings due to fluctuating results, the Revo squad remains fully confident that the 23-year-old will display greater consistency with a full year of experience under his belt, officially confirming his seat for the upcoming season.
Reflecting on the renewal of his contract, the young rider expressed deep gratitude and excitement for the future challenge. "I feel deeply honored to have been confirmed for the next Sportbike world championship, and I can hardly wait for the new season," Vannucci stated with visible delight. He further praised the harmonious environment within his garage and the dedication of the technical crew. "I really like the Aprilia and I have built a super relationship with the mechanics and the entire Revo M2 team. It feels like a family, yet it is completely professional. I was extremely impressed by the professionalism of the technicians, Mirco my mechanic—in short, everyone. Fantastic!"
Locking in their primary rider early provides a solid developmental platform for the Italian manufacturer as they prepare for the fierce competitive landscape of the upcoming calendar.
