Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 share the same innovative engine designed and developed
by the Aprilia Research and Development Division to make the most of the revolutionary
qualities of the Sportgear® electronically controlled transmission. This radical innovation
replaces the conventional gearbox and offers the rider a choice between Sequential shift
mode and Autodrive mode, which offers three maps to suit different riding styles and
engine needs.

The 90° V architecture is the most effective solution for achieving class beating performance:

839.3 cc producing 76.1 bhp at the crankshaft, with 7.45 kgm of torque available at incredibly
low engine speeds (just 5,000 rpm). The 4 valve per cylinder timing layout with a single
overhead camshaft is exceptionally effective and also simplifies maintenance. In addition to
the transmission, the injection system is also managed by a sophisticated electronic system to
optimise performance and reduce emissions. The stainless steel exhaust system with catalytic
converter and lambda probe (Euro 3) also contributes to the environmental credentials of the
engine.

LESS STRESS

MORE FUN

Select between Sequential and Autodrive
modes with a simple press of a button.

The rider can select between two different
modes at any time: 7-speed, rapid selection
Sequential mode, just like an F1 racing car, or
Autodrive mode, which makes maximum torque
available at all times for optimised pickup and
acceleration.
