1000 RS CUBE - Laconi

After 52 years, the 500 class said goodbye and became the MotoGP for 4-stroke engines and cylinder capacity up to 990 cc. Every manufacturer took its own path, and Aprilia, for the only class for which it has never won a title to date, chose that of technology with the RS Cube: 3 cylinders (on paper the perfect fractionation, extensive use of prized materials, carbon clutch, pneumatic valves and electronically controlled accelerator). Entrusted to the French driver Régis Laconi, it debuted slightly too early for that required of such a futuristic project.
