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.
