Trackhouse MotoGP Team’s Aprilia RS-GP25 to wear new Gulf Oil liveries

MANILA: The Gulf Oil International and Trackhouse MotoGP Team’s Aprilia RS-GP25 bikes are set to feature a new look courtesy of its recent fan livery vote. The aforementioned debuted at the recently concluded Indonesia Grand Prix and will also be used at the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix, scheduled for October 24-26. 

Appearance-wise, the new livery will cover the pair of custom-made MotoGP-focused bikes with the US-based Gulf Oil International's signature orange and light blue. They therefore join the iconic Ford GT40 (1969 LeMans) and Porsche 917K (World Sportscar Championship) in wearing one of the most famous corporate racing colors. The bikes likewise bear the “Trackhouse” logo (also in orange background) on their lower fairings. 

To note, the livery vote came down to just 7.4 percent, separating three different designs. Ultimately, the new “Passion” livery, the nickname of the new paint scheme, was chosen for the Aprilia RS-GP25 bikes for their runs at Indonesia’s Mandalika and Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuits.

As mentioned above, the Aprilia RS-GP25 is not a publicly available bike, as it is designed in-house by the Italy-based motorcycle manufacturer to compete in MotoGP events. 

The closest equivalents of the RS-GP25 on sale in the Philippine market are the RS 660 and the RS 457. 

Power-wise, the Aprilia RS-GP25 uses a 1,000-cubic-centimeter (CC) V4 engine capable of generating up to 280 horsepower at 17,500 revolutions per minute (RPM). It also uses an Aprilia Racing six-speed gearbox, a carbon disc clutch, and an SC titanium exhaust system equipped with an exhaust valve. 

Handling for the MotoGP bike is managed by an Öhlins suspension system, while stopping power is provided by Brembo brakes. In total, the Aprilia-made MotoGP contender weighs a mere 157 kilograms.
