2026 Aprilia Tuareg 660

Agile, powerful and ready to take on any obstacle with the lightness of an Enduro and the versatility of an adventure bike. The Aprilia Tuareg is powered by a sporty twin-cylinder parallel engine and features long travel suspension and tubeless spoked wheels. The secret to its explorer personality can be found in the perfectly-struck balance between smart technology and a simply incomparable chassis.

2026 Aprilia Tuareg 660: The Legend, Sharpened.

"I’ve ridden the heavyweights that fight you for every inch of trail, and I’ve ridden the lightweights that rattle your teeth on the highway. The 2026 Tuareg 660 isn’t a compromise between the two—it’s the cure."

When you throw a leg over the 2026 Aprilia Tuareg 660, the first thing you notice is the balance. But the moment you thumb the starter, you realize this isn't just a carry-over model; it’s an evolution. I took the new Euro 5+ engine out to see if the stricter emissions strangled the fun. The answer? Absolutely not.

The Throttle Connection is Telepathic Aprilia didn't just tweak the map; they opened up the airways. The new 52mm throttle bodies and the lighter, rare-earth generator have transformed the low-end character. The "lag" is gone. You want to loft the front wheel over a rain rut? A quick snap of the wrist and the front end is airborne, lighter and more responsive than ever before. It feels punchier, cleaner, and more eager to rev, yet it keeps that tractable, usable torque that makes the 660 platform a legend in the dirt.

Suspension That Cheats Physics On the washboard sections, the 240mm of travel (Kayaba suspension) does what it does best: it makes the terrain disappear. The chassis geometry is so dialed in that you forget you’re on a "middleweight" adventure bike; it flicks through technical single-track with the agility of a dual-sport, but when you hit the pavement for the ride home, the cruise control and wind protection remind you that this is a proper tourer.

The 2026 Edge Whether you are looking at the standard model in the stunning new Tornado Green or eyeing the hardcore Tuareg Rally edition with its linear springs and SC-Project titanium exhaust, the DNA is unmistakable. This is a bike that begs you to take the long way home—especially if that way isn't paved.

Rider Highlights:

Refined Powerplant: Updated Euro 5+ parallel-twin with reduced inertia for instant acceleration.

Unmatched Agility: Best-in-class power-to-weight ratio that makes technical riding effortless.

Tech that Works: The APRC suite (Traction Control, Engine Brake, Maps) isn't intrusive—it makes you a better rider, and it’s easily toggled off when you want full control.

Real-World Range: The 18-liter tank and optimized efficiency mean the adventure ends when you say it ends.

The desert is calling. Answer it on the 2026 Tuareg.
