On March 27, 2026, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, during the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas weekend, Aprilia Racing officially unveiled the X 250TH, the sixth model in its prestigious X-series lineup, created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.
As the sixth limited-edition offering in Aprilia's X-series (following the 2019 RSV4 X, 2020 Tuono X, 2022 RSV4 XTrenta, 2024 RSV4 X ex3ma, and 2025 RSV4 X-GP), the X 250TH is based on the 2026 RSV4 1100 Factory and deeply integrates cutting-edge technology from Aprilia's MotoGP factory racing program. Only 30 units will be produced worldwide, priced at $150,000, with the majority of allocations reserved for the U.S. market.
Powering the X 250TH is a 65-degree V4 engine developed by Aprilia Racing to WorldSBK specifications, with a displacement of 1099cc. Through increased compression ratio, upgraded large radiator, STM dry clutch, racing-spec air filter, and SC Project titanium exhaust system, the engine delivers a maximum output of 240 horsepower at 13,750 rpm and a peak torque of 131 N·m at 11,750 rpm, surpassing the performance of both the previous X-GP and X ex3ma models.
The motorcycle features a full carbon fiber fairing package and structural carbon fiber seat subframe, equipped with aerodynamic components derived directly from the MotoGP RS-GP25 factory racer, including winglets on both sides of the saddle and a rear wing, which significantly enhance aerodynamic load and downforce during cornering and braking. The braking system utilizes Brembo calipers paired with 340mm dual carbon-ceramic brake discs and carbon brake pads, bringing braking performance even closer to that of MotoGP prototypes. The suspension and running gear include a full suite of adjustable Öhlins dampers, forged magnesium Marchesini wheels, and Pirelli Diablo SBK slicks. Additionally, the motorcycle is equipped with the Aprilia Racing APX control unit with integrated GPS, allowing per-gear adjustment of power delivery, traction control, engine braking, and wheelie control, among other electronic aids.
The Aprilia X 250TH is exclusively designed for elite track enthusiasts and motorcycle collectors. Each owner will receive a Yashi laptop for ECU tuning, a custom motorcycle cover, RCB titanium stands, and IRC tire warmers.
