Aprilia MotoGP team boss Romano Albesiano has revealed the manufacturer is making a fourth iteration of its carbon swingarm but it is still not yet perfect.
Neither Aleix Espargaro or the departing Scott Redding have raced with it and it looks likely this will continue at Brno this weekend, with the new version making its debut at the Brno test on Monday.
“We are still developing the carbon swing arm. We already made three different kinds of this piece with different stiffness,” said Albesiano.
“It’s very close to being competitive but it’s still not perfect, so we’re producing another one. It’s a lot of work to deliver this component but it’s a key component so we strongly believe that this is the way.”
