2024 Aprilia RS457 Track Accessories Review | Sagar Sheldekar Official

Sarge heads to MMRT for the Indimotard trackday to test the 2024 Aprilia RS457 fitted with track accessories like the double sintered pads, quickshifter, tall windscreen and fork sliders. But do these make the RS 457 a better track tool? Sarge gives it the beans to find out.

Fantastic review of amazing machine! Which tires do you recommend Sarge?

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

The Ceat SportRads are slightly better. Would love to try this with Supercorsa

[@farhankhan_rr]

Watching you ride on track is a such a treat to the eyes. Everything you said is spot on and can relate everything. - With better brake pads the fade has reduced. But abs still kicks in agressively at times. My 457 is running on Brembo sintered brake pads (BB15-HH) which is slightly better than the accesory Aprilia India is selling. Also DOT 5.1 helps. Will try better tires as you suggested to see how the abs then works. Also the brembo RSC15 corsa corta master cylinder is on it's way. Btw the front adjustable lever is not stock and seems like the one from Duke 390. - quickshifter as you rightly said is ok at full throttle and downshifts are much smoother than upshifts. - my bike moves to the left when i leave the handlebar. And almost every 457 i know has the same issue. Could it be something to do with wheel balancing?

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

Not sure. Need to ride it to understand

Hello Sarge, loved your track review of 457, just a quick question is apollo H1 better than these tvs, or one will have to opt for something more as metzellrs ?

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

Tvs better than Apollo. Ideally I would go for something like a Rosso 4 Corsa or supercorsa to get the most out of the bike

[@kaushithgowda]

The brake oil change is not the problem as there is only a 25⁰-40⁰ higher limit from stock dot4. If the oil reaches boiling point there are bigger issues one is going to face. Its just the HH pads from factory which fades away just change to epfa 606 HH pads from EBC 4400Rs maybe more . Been using them for 10+ years saved me from a lot of close calls. Remember to use 600 grit sand paper and clean up the disc first and do the bedding procedure and enjoy 30,000km pad life. You have to change brake oil every 6 months or 20,000km . For track day the tvs is ok most road tyres will give up after 4 fast laps. We need some manufacturer to make track tyres like a Dunlop q3+ ,supercorsa sp, Bridgestone rs11.

Have used tall screens on every bike i had, and i can tell the first thing it does is decrease maneuverability at high speeds. You need more effort to flick the bike. Also it increases braking performance dramatically as drag is increased. Don't know how much a tall screen is helpful on track as much as it is on roads.

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial glad m able to spread some laughter. Understandable that not everyone understands fluid dynamics!
