What does it do? An active control systems package that offers auto-calibratio­n with traction control, launch control, wheelie control and a quick shifter.

aTC What is it? Aprilia Traction Control

aWC What is it? Aprilia Wheelie Control What does it do? Patented Aprilia Wheelie Detection System can tell when the wheel lifts and preps for a soft landing by providing smooth accelerati­on and avoiding harsh power-cuts or pick-up.

aLC What is it? Aprilia Launch Control

What does it do? Readies the bike for a surge of accelerati­on for the best go off the line. Hold both aTC buttons on the left handlebar controls at standstill to arm.

aQS What is it? Aprilia Quick Shift What does it do? Shift gears without having to close the throttle or use the clutch. Every split second advantage is important on track.

ACC What is it? Aprilia Cruise Control What does it do? Allows a set speed to be maintained, uphill or downhill, without having to work the throttle.

RbW What is it? Ride-by-Wire
