The 2017 update brought the RSV4 RR into line with Euro 4 with a new exhaust and ECU, lighter pistons and revised internals that let it rev slightly higher. The bigger gains were in braking and electronics: Brembo M50 calipers on larger 330 mm discs, Bosch cornering ABS, a quickshifter that now also handles clutchless downshifts, a pit limiter, cruise control and a colour TFT dash. The RR keeps Sachs suspension and cast three-spoke wheels.
