The RF was the premium, numbered version of the new-for-2015 RSV4 RR, built in a run of 500. It shares the RR's 201 hp V4 and electronics, but comes with the Race Pack fitted as standard: Öhlins fork, shock and adjustable steering damper plus lightweight forged wheels. A dedicated Superpole livery set it apart visually.
