The Aprilia RS 457 is a modern lightweight sportbike that introduced the RS nameplate to a new middleweight, beginner-friendly segment. Aprilia first brought it to market for model year 2024, and it sits within the brand’s long-running RS sport family rather than as a revival of an older, separate RS 457 lineage. The model was developed as an accessible entry point into Aprilia’s supersport styling and chassis philosophy, with the same sharp visual identity and track-inspired character that have long defined the RS range. In Aprilia’s lineup, the RS 457 has become the company’s gateway sport model, aimed at riders who want a full-faired machine with premium brand heritage without stepping into the larger-displacement RS models. As of the latest official Aprilia materials, the RS 457 remains in production, so there is no final model year to record yet.
