For 2010 the Factory carried on essentially unchanged as the premium RSV4, now sitting above the new, cheaper R. It kept the Öhlins suspension, Brembo monobloc brakes, forged wheels, magnesium engine parts and the adjustable chassis geometry that set it apart. This was the year Max Biaggi won the World Superbike title on the racing version.
