PLAY

HARD

After a hard, stressful day at work, you deserve some fun.

Get your shot of adrenaline, performance and emotion.

Give free rein to your courage and your superior riding skills, and

forget about everybody else for a while. Enjoy the absolute pleasure

of advanced technology, exclusivity, and style in every detail.

DORSODURO 750: only for you, and only from Aprilia.

Based on the revolutionary V twin engine with which Aprilia has dominated

the World Supermotard Championship, the DORSODURO 750 is an

uncompromising road-going motard that delivers a concentration of

responsiveness, aggression and pure enjoyment. Incredibly agile and

manoeuvrable, the DORSODURO 750 delivers record torque at low revs

and boasts a frame that is a masterpiece of lightness and rigidity.

The DORSODURO 750 is made to be ridden with your whole body and

enjoyed with your entire soul. So you really can play hard!

The DORSODURO 750 is made

to be ridden with your whole

body: its high centre of gravity

and long wheelbase guarantee

genuine motard control.

WAVE DISCS AND RADIAL CALIPERS

Derived directly from the world of racing,
the two 320 mm wave discs at the
front, the single 240 mm rear disc, and
the 4-piston radial calipers guarantee
exceptional braking power at all times
and under all conditions. Metal braided
hoses further contribute to improved
braking sensitivity and control.

RIDE

HARD

Come out of that garage! Face the challenge of the road

and discover how simple it is to experience the thrills of a

real competition supermotard. The DORSODURO 750 is the

easy to ride motard that embodies all Aprilia’s racing know-

how and technical research. Choose the power mapping

you want, thrill to the perfect chassis, and enjoy a hard ride

and previously unknown satisfaction. The same pleasure is

available even to new licence holders (Italian legislation),

thanks to an evolved electronic control unit that limits

maximum power to 25 kW but delivers exactly the same

muscle as the full power version.

SPECIAL VERSION WITH CONTINENTAL DUAL-CHANNEL ABS

Aprilia with Continental has developed an ABS system specifically
calibrated for the Dorsoduro 750, guaranteeing maximum
enjoyment and safety. It is a pioneering dual-channel system
that separately controls the front and rear brake through a
sophisticated electronic control unit that monitors wheel speed
at all times and which has been specifically calibrated for “FUN”
mode driving. As a result, you can always make the most of full
braking power and tyre grip whatever the conditions might be,
even in the toughest situations.

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

Another one of the technically advanced
solutions found on the DORSODURO 750
is a hydraulically operated clutch for
smooth, precise action every time.
The clutch is also self-adjusting and
completely maintenance free.

MATRIX INSTRUMENT PANEL

The Matrix instrument panel incorporates
a genuine on-board computer that you can
access directly from the handlebars.
The display receives data over a CAN line
and gives you all the information you need.
It even has a built-in autodiagnostic
memory. The LED backlighting, white for
the analog section and red for the digital
section, is adjustable to three levels of
brightness for perfect readability in all
lighting conditions.
