| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| DESIGN
| |
| Dorsoduro 1200 is a radical, outrageously agile and sporty bike. It makes no
| |
| concessions whatsoever for ornamentation or for anything not directly functional
| |
| in achieving total performance and riding pleasure. This is why all
| |
| body parts are cut down to the bare minimum; just like a proper race machine,
| |
| the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 eliminates anything that is of no use to the rider.
| |
| No frills, for a bike that prefers to put its superlative mechanicals and
| |
| componentry on show instead. Every detail is minimalised and focused on pure
| |
| function, such as the all-new hand guards and the motard-style race number
| |
| panel, which also offers wind protection at higher speeds.
| |
| These
| |
| elements complement the pure design of the Dorsoduro 1200 perfectly, with an
| |
| outstanding attention to detail evident in features such as the two-tone
| |
| paintwork of the frame, the tail fairing color-coded with the rest of the body
| |
| elements and the new dual exhaust with black heat shields. Even the 15 litre
| |
| fuel tank is perfectly integrated into the sleek forms of the Dorsoduro 1200.
| |
| Dorsoduro 1200 a bike with the soul of a pure motard racer. The ultra-narrow mid
| |
| section of the bike - the area that interacts most with the movements of the
| |
| rider's body when riding hard - emphasises the extreme compactness of the bike
| |
| itself. The rider becomes an integral part of the machine and can move freely in
| |
| the slender and perfectly straight saddle to dominate the brutal power of the
| |
| engine in all situations. None of the typical acrobatics of the motard style are
| |
| beyond the reach of this bike.
| |
| THE 1200 cc V90 ENGINE: THE STATE OF THE ART IN TWIN CYLINDER
| |
| TECHNOLOGY
| |
| The Aprilia V90 is a completely new design. It is a modern, technologically
| |
| advanced unit with a highly oversquare cylinder geometry for a markedly sporty
| |
| temperament and smooth power delivery. Every internal element of the Dorsoduro
| |
| 1200 has been designed to optimise power delivery and make full use of the
| |
| incredible 130 hp unleashed by the engine at 8700 rpm. Every single detail is
| |
| conceived to complement the outrageously acrobatic character of the bike.
| |
| The main characteristics of this ultra-sophisticated engine are as follows:
| |
| 90° V-twin architecture;
| |
| Triple map Ride by Wire technology (with Sport, Touring and Rain maps)
| |
| Highly oversquare bore/stroke ratio;
| |
| Offset cylinders for maximum lateral compactness;
| |
| Four valves per cylinder;
| |
| Double overhead camshafts driven by a mixed chain/gear valve timing system;
| |
| Twin spark ignition for smooth but full-bore power delivery;
| |
| Electronic fuel injection with dual throttle bodies;
| |
| Stick-coils integrated in spark plug boots;
| |
| Three-way catalytic converter with oxygen sensor;
| |
| Hydraulically operated clutch.
| |
| | |
| The latest generation injection system uses micro-nebuliser injectors. In
| |
| conjunction with optimized fluid dynamics, this solution ensures ideal
| |
| combustion, for an engine that is not only powerful but also extremely clean.
| |
| Twin spark ignition also contributes to cleaner emissions, as well as ensuring
| |
| totally smooth power delivery.
| |
| With sophisticated electronic engine management, the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 is
| |
| the new benchmark for technology and performance in its class. Aprilia was the
| |
| first manufacturer to believe in the potential of Ride by Wire, a highly
| |
| sophisticated technology that helps the rider extract every ounce of performance
| |
| from the motorcycle. The electronic throttle management system used in the
| |
| Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 represents the current state of the art. Even more
| |
| precise and sophisticated maps ensure optimized engine management, keeping the
| |
| engine in the perfect conditions to deliver maximum acceleration at all times
| |
| for a riding experience unlike anything you've ever seen before. This solution
| |
| also ensures smoother, fuller power delivery at low and medium engine speeds,
| |
| for optimized engine efficiency even in low load, partial throttle conditions.
| |
| With its triple maps (Rain, Touring and Sport), the bike has three distinct
| |
| personalities that the rider can choose from at any time to suit every possible
| |
| condition and preference. Simply close the throttle and press a button to choose
| |
| the desired setting.
| |
| SPORT: extreme, for when you want to put yourself to the test with immediate and
| |
| direct explosive power.
| |
| TOURING: smooth, for making full use of the shattering power of the 1200 cc
| |
| engine in all conditions.
| |
| RAIN: balanced, with power reigned in to 100 hp
| |
| for maximum fun even in poor grip or wet conditions.
| |
| With its state-of-art technology, the Aprilia V90 unleashes class-beating levels
| |
| of power. No other maxi motard comes close to the performance of the Dorsoduro
| |
| 1200: with 130 hp at 8,700 rpm and a maximum torque of 115 Nm at 7,200 rpm, this
| |
| engine sets new records for the motard genre. To further emphasise the
| |
| performance of the engine, a new 2-into-1-into-2 exhaust system has been
| |
| designed specifically for the bike. Made entirely from stainless steel, the
| |
| generous internal volume of the system ensures a spine-tingling and distinctive
| |
| sound.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| THE FRAME: FEATHER-LIGHT BUT ULTRA-STIFF
| |
| Aprilia bikes have always been considered as the benchmark for chassis
| |
| excellence by those in the know. And true to tradition, Dorsoduro 1200 is one of
| |
| the most effective, best balanced bikes in its class. While tailored for total
| |
| riding fun, as with all Aprilia bikes, the chassis layout of the Dorsoduro also
| |
| earns respect for its formidable dynamic balance. With the Dorsoduro,
| |
| extreme agility does mean a nervous temperament, and its highly effective
| |
| chassis layout ensures total precision and a sensation of being directly
| |
| connected to the front wheel. And this is something that can only be said of
| |
| very few motards out they. The mixed frame design, constructed with a sturdy
| |
| tubular steel trellis mated to lateral aluminum plates, is highly acclaimed by
| |
| both enthusiasts and experts alike, while the aluminum saddle mount contributes
| |
| to lightening the bike. The product of Aprilia's experience in the world
| |
| Supermoto championship, the frame offers perfect balance in terms of stiffness
| |
| to deliver supreme handling, even with the explosive power of the new 1200 cc
| |
| V90.
| |
| The lateral and steeply raked position of the
| |
| rear shock absorber is a precise engineering choice, determined after testing
| |
| numerous different configurations. This solution frees up precious space for the
| |
| generously sized exhaust headers, which are needed to fully exploit the
| |
| potential of the 1200 cc engine. This made it possible to optimise the layout of
| |
| the exhaust system without adding unnecessarily to the length of the bike, while
| |
| also protecting the shock absorber - a vital component in its own right - from
| |
| high temperatures.
| |
| SUSPENSION: PERFORMANCE UNDER CONTROL
| |
| The suspension of the Dorsoduro 1200 has been designed to fully exploit the
| |
| incredible performance of the engine and offer the best solutions that anyone
| |
| could ever desire in an extreme motard. The 43 mm Sachs upside-down fork with
| |
| shell-cast caliper brackets features adjustable spring preload and hydraulic
| |
| compression and rebound damping. In addition to permitting total adjustability,
| |
| this extremely sophisticated component offers class-beating progressiveness and
| |
| a full 160 mm of wheel travel, in perfect keeping with the supermoto riding
| |
| style.
| |
| The side-mounted Sachs gas shock absorber with
| |
| separate canister is
| |
| pivoted directly onto the swingarm in a cantilever configuration and features
| |
| adjustable spring preload and hydraulic compression and rebound damping. A
| |
| component allowing experienced riders to explore the full potential of the
| |
| bike's performance, even on the track. The rear wheel stroke is 155mm, again in
| |
| line with the supermoto philosophy that aims for an effective, controlled
| |
| suspension but with a long stroke.
| |
| BRAKES: RACING TECHNOLOGY - ALSO AVAILABLE WITH
| |
| ABS
| |
| The Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 adopts the state of the art in brake technology: at
| |
| the front are 4-piston radial Brembo callipers gripping 320 mm floating discs.
| |
| The 240 mm rear disc is also braked by a Brembo caliper - in this case a single
| |
| piston unit.
| |
| Both the front and rear brake systems employ aeronautical grade metal braided
| |
| hoses, which eliminate the undesirable pressure fluctuations of conventional
| |
| hoses for maximum braking precision and truly class-beating stopping
| |
| performance.
| |
| Dorsoduro 1200 is also available with a two-channel ABS system, which can be
| |
| deactivated by the user directly from the instrument panel. This ABS system is
| |
| specifically calibrated to let the rider fully exploit the power of the brakes
| |
| and the grip of the tires in the dry, so as not to detract from the immense fun
| |
| of this bike.
| |
| The Dorsoduro 1200 is also the only maxi-motard
| |
| available today with Aprilia Traction Control (ATC): an exclusive traction
| |
| control system
| |
| working in conjunction with the sophisticated ABS system, which allows the rider
| |
| to make full use of the performance of the exuberant 1200 cc engine, to tackle
| |
| even the most challenging terrain and most difficult conditions in safety. When
| |
| active, the system offers three different selectable traction control levels.
| |
| - Level 1: for an extreme riding experience and
| |
| maximum fun and
| |
| adrenaline, when curbing the incredible power of the engine is the last thing on
| |
| your mind.
| |
| - Level 2: for total control in all terrain conditions and maximum thrill
| |
| factor.
| |
| - Level 3: ideal for tackling challenging conditions, such as slippery roads
| |
| where grip is poor.
| |
| COMPONENTRY: TOP OF THE CLASS
| |
| Motards are by definition essential or even spartan. This, however, does not
| |
| mean having to do without class-beating premium content. Aprilia moves the bar
| |
| even higher for its rivals with top class features and components. The following
| |
| list contains only the main features offered:
| |
| - Matrix instrument panel: the mixed digital-analogue instrument panel receives
| |
| information via the CAN line and, with its own dedicated event log memory, is an
| |
| integral part of the self-diagnostic system. The ultra-compact unit boasts a
| |
| modern design and is extremely light. All functions are accessible from a
| |
| control on the handlebar. The LED backlight - white for the analogue area and
| |
| red for the digital display - has three different brightness settings.
| |
| - The anodised aluminum tapered handlebar is an
| |
| unequivocal reference to competition supermoto bikes. An incredibly light
| |
| component, designed to guarantee top dynamic control of the bike.
| |
| - Hydraulically operated clutch. Ensuring consistently precise engagement and
| |
| exemplary smoothness, the clutch is self-adjusting and, as a result,
| |
| maintenance-free.
