Rennie Scaysbrook | April 17, 2026

Aprilia has unveiled its latest ultra-exclusive track machine, the Aprilia X 250TH , the sixth edition of the X series developed under its Factory Works program and revealed during the MotoGP weekend at the Circuit of the Americas.


UPDATE: Aprilia announced on April 17, 2026  that the Aprilia X 250TH achieved immediate success, with all 30 units sold out in just 14 days. Its predecessor, the Aprilia RSV4 X GP, also sold out within the same timeframe.

Massimo Rivola, CEO Aprilia Racing: “The ‘X’ brand continues to establish itself as one of the most exclusive and desirable expressions of Aprilia Racing. These bikes are at the same time collector’s items and tools for riders who are aware they can experience a riding sensation extremely close to that of MotoGP. Once again announcing a sell-out just two weeks after launch is a concrete demonstration of the strength and uniqueness of these true jewels.”


Created to commemorate the 250TH anniversary of American independence, the X 250TH will be produced in a run of just 30 motorcycles, with a strong focus on the U.S. market. As with previous “X” models, this is a closed-course-only machine that showcases the brand’s most advanced racing technology outside of MotoGP.

The foundation is derived from the RSV4, but the X 250TH takes performance up a few notches. Its 1099cc V4 engine has been extensively modified with an increased compression ratio, a Sprint Filter high permeability racing air filter with racing spec airbox intake trumpets, an SC Project titanium dual pipe exhaust, and STM dry clutch, delivering a claimed output of 240 horsepower.

One of the most notable features is the use of carbon-carbon brake discs, a production first and technology typically reserved for MotoGP. This marks a rare opportunity for private owners to experience braking performance similar to that used at the highest level of the sport.

Aerodynamics have also been pushed significantly forward. The full carbon fiber bodywork is inspired by Aprilia’s RS-GP MotoGP machine and incorporates winglets and airflow management designed to increase stability and front-end feel under hard acceleration and braking.

Weighing in at approximately 363 pounds dry and carrying a price tag of $150,000, the X 250TH stands as an elite offering aimed squarely at collectors and dedicated track riders seeking a near-factory racing experience.
