After the successful and versatile Caponord 1200, the Italian engineers from Aprilia didn't want to stop there. For 2014, they introduced the 2015 MY Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS Rally, a touring motorcycle that one can ride off the road in full confidence. Sporting a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 1197cc L-twin, the two-wheeler suits almost any rider who's tall and strong enough. Whether for a daily commute, a weekend haul on/off the road, the Caponord can do it all.

Available only for European customers, the Rally version comes standard with almost everything one would want to have equipped on a multiple-purpose motorcycle. Features such as ride-by-wire, two-channel ABS, Aprilia Traction Control (ATC), Aprilia Dynamic Damping (ADD), Aprilia Cruise Control (ACC), a pair of panniers, adjustable windshield, hand and side guards, a pair of supplementary LED lights and wire-spoked wheels with 19" front and 17" rear tires.
