DORSODURO 1200: THERE’S NEVER BEEN A
MAXI-MOTARD ANYTHING LIKE IT.
An explosion of power, handling and adrenaline
that redefines the standards for the class and
pushes back the boundaries of fun and heart-
pounding excitement. An all-new 1200 cc engine
for superior performance in any situation.
Impeccable control in true Aprilia style, thanks
to the accuracy of the chassis architecture and
high quality of its componentry. Unmistakeable,
aggressive no-compromise looks to stand out
from the crowd and to remind you that this truly
is something special. Enjoy the best that life has
to offer with the DORSODURO 1200.
MAD
The extremely compact width of the latest generation longitudinal 90° V-twin liquidcooled engine, with double overhead camshafts driven by a mixed gear-chain timing
system and offset cylinders, made it possible to create a slim and extremely agile
bike. The dual spark ignition system ensures smoother, more uniform power delivery
and allows the engine to deliver an impressive torque of 11.7 Kg in an almost
completely flat torque curve. And with maximum torque already available at low revs,
the explosive, no-compromise character of this bike is unleashed the instant you
twist the throttle.
FUN TECHNOLOGY
The exuberant engine powering the DORSODURO 1200 features a latest generation
Ride-by-Wire system that ensures optimum torque delivery at any given time:
Whether during relaxed riding in city traffic, or when you decide to unleash your ego
and explore the wilder side of the bike’s character.
