Frame/Chassis

The RXV/SXV's frame is made of a combination of tubular steel and aluminum plates. The compact engine fits into the frame in such a way that the air filter sits on top of the engine, below the gas tank, rather than the more traditional under-the-seat location. [ [http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=3584&Page=2 2007 Aprilia RXV/SXV - First Ride - MotorcycleUSA.com ] ] This allows for a lower distribution of weight.
