Replica variant is not solely due to its exclusive MotoGP-inspired styling. This variant also gets exclusive features such as quickshifter and adjustable brake lever, as part of standard equipment.
The quickshifter can also be installed as an accessory with the other colour variants. But it will cost Rs 25,000 more. In comparison, the GP Replica is only Rs 15,000 costlier than the standard models. This variant has a largely black finish and carries the stickers of the various sponsors of Aprilia’s MotoGP race bike.
