Aprilia has revealed a new Rally version of the Caponord 1200. An all-terrain tourer, it will be a rival to bikes such as the Triumph Tiger Explorer XC and BMW R 1200 GS Adventure.
As would be expected, the Rally gains numerous equipment upgrades compared to a regular Caponord 1200. These include a set of hard panniers with aluminium covers, additional engine guards, a larger windscreen and extra LED lights. Furthermore, wire-spoke wheels are fitted and the front one has a diameter of 19” instead of the usual 17”.

Also part of the Rally’s specification is the semi-active Aprilia Dynamic Damping suspension set-up, which continuously makes adjustments based on riding style and the surface being travelled over.
Unchanged is the 1,197 cc V-twin engine. Producing 123 bhp (91 kW / 125 PS) and 114 Nm (84 lb/ft) of peak torque, it features a ride-by-wire throttle with three selectable maps. Helping to harness that output is a standard traction control system, while anti-lock brakes take care of stopping.
Sales of the Caponord 1200 Rally are due to begin across Europe during January 2015. Aprilia has yet to announce a price.
