2022 Aprilia® Tuareg 660

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

In an industry bound to the compromises of all-terrain riding, the Tuareg 660 charts a new course, offering benchmark performance in all conditions and authentic adventure equipment.

That's the magic of the Aprilia 660 platform - lightweight, intelligent, complete and tremendously effective. Redesigned to give you maximum control on asphalt and dirt, whether sitting or standing, thanks to distinctive technical solutions that respond to your desire to explore.

Features may include:

• LOW WEIGHT

With a dry weight of just 187 kg, the Tuareg 660 sets a benchmark for the sector in terms of lightness. Aprilia engineers have shaved off every possible gram, equipping the Tuareg with all the adventouring essentials, starting with the generous 18-litre fuel tank. Less weight = more fun, always!

• APRC TECHNOLOGY

Four Riding Modes, two of which are customisable (one dedicated to off-road riding). ABS can be deactivated at both wheels or only the rear. APRC system complete with Traction Control, Cruise Control, Engine Map and Engine Brake. All accessible via the high-visibility 5" TFT screen.

• OFF-ROAD SUSPENSION

A 43 mm fork and progressive linkage monoshock, both with long 240 mm travel, ensure off-road traction and fun in places where others have to close the throttle.

• APRILIA FRAME AND SUSPENSION

The Tuareg 660 is faithful to Aprilia chassis tradition - synonymous with excellence - thanks to a new tubular steel frame coupled with aluminium brackets and connected to the engine at six points, a wheelbase of just over 1500 mm, and the careful distribution of weight and centralisation of masses.

• REDESIGNED ENGINE

The parallel-twin engine now delivers maximum power of 80 HP, peak torque of 70 Nm and a significantly boosted low/mid-range curve. The sump reduces the vertical footprint, for a ground clearance of more than 240 mm and a seat height of less than 860 mm.
