Aprilia's recent introduction of the RS457 and the CBU portfolio has ignited a fervour among performance-oriented Indian consumers. The collaboration with John Abraham, a renowned motorcycle aficionado, further amplifies the brand's appeal.
The campaign, centred around the exhilarating Aprilia RS457, delves deep into the emotional core of motorcycling, challenging the conventional norms of the industry. A meticulous exploration of the Indian superbike landscape revealed a profound shift in rider expectations. Beyond horsepower and aesthetics, today's motorcyclists yearn for a visceral connection, a spiritual communion with their machines. Aprilia has dared to answer this unspoken call, crafting a campaign that transcends the realm of product promotion and taps into the very soul of the riding experience.
The four-film series, a cinematic masterpiece directed by the renowned Nigel Simpkiss, is a departure from the typical flashy ad format. Each film is a carefully crafted narrative that explores the complex emotions that intertwine with the riding experience. From exhilaration to solitude, from freedom to adrenaline, the campaign captures the essence of what it truly means to be a motorcyclist. The campaign is conceptualized and executed by Centrick; a boutique creative agency known for its innovative approach.
That's Aprilia. That's RS457. is more than just a tagline; it encapsulates the brand's essence and the deep connection it fosters with riders. The campaign aims to create a sense of belonging within the Aprilia community, celebrating the shared passion for motorcycling.
The first film, titled 'FUN', is now live and promises to set a new benchmark for motorcycle advertising. With its stunning visuals, compelling narrative, and John Abraham's magnetic presence, the campaign is poised to captivate audiences and ignite a conversation about the true essence of motorcycling.

Speaking about his role as Aprilia India's brand ambassador, John Abraham, said that the Aprilia RS457 feeds his passion and is a symbol of the unbridled joy and many emotions that come with riding. This campaign is a raw, unfiltered expression of the rider's soul - a call to those who crave the rush of adrenaline, the thrill of the unknown, and the freedom of the open road. He is excited for Aprilia fans, riders and motorcycle purists to see these films and he is sure they will find it relatable and encourage them to get on an Aprilia themselves.
Sharing his views, Diego Graffi, Chairman and MD, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd said that Aprilia has always been about pushing boundaries. This campaign is a bold statement of our intent to redefine the motorcycle ownership experience. This campaign, brought to life by John Abraham's charisma, perfectly captures the spirit of Aprilia. We are confident that it will resonate with our target audience and strengthen our position in the market.
Commenting on the campaign launch, Apoorva Saigal, AVP - Corporate Communication and 2W Marketing, Piaggio Vehicles said that we discovered a void in the market – While specs and performance are undeniably crucial, they alone do not ignite the passion that drives riders. This campaign is a testament to our deep understanding of the modern rider. This campaign is about creating a movement, a community of riders who feel understood and celebrated. John Abraham, a passionate biker himself, brings an unparalleled authenticity to the campaign. His raw energy and connection with the Aprilia RS457 are palpable in every frame. We believe that Aprilia has the power to ignite a passion that goes beyond the ride itself. It's about igniting emotions, not just showcasing features.
By leveraging the authenticity of John Abraham, his ingrained passion for motorcycling, and his organic love for the brand Aprilia, Aprilia promises to challenge the status quo of motorcycle advertising, creating a lasting impact on the industry and forging an unbreakable bond with its audience.
