Aprilia brings F1-inspired blown diffuser to MotoGP in Sepang test
Aerodynamic devices have become increasingly important in MotoGP in recent years, and in 2024, manufacturers have taken it to the next level. Aprilia, in particular, has introduced radical solutions to narrow the gap with Ducati and KTM. Marco de Luca, Head of Vehicle at Aprilia Racing, has brought his F1 experience to create innovative concepts. One of these concepts, the blown diffuser, has been patented and is being used on the Aprilia RS-GP, a first in MotoGP. Aprilia has also redesigned the rear end of the bike to improve air extraction and enhance the efficiency of the diffuser. Although still in the experimental stage, this development could revolutionize aerodynamic concepts in MotoGP.
