The wait is nearly over, as the Aprilia Tuareg 660 announces its arrival to the market. The eagerly awaited adventure bike will be ready to ride starting February in the U.S.
To celebrate the return of an off-road legend, Aprilia will launch an online prebooking program for those who want to be the first to take home one of the most eagerly awaited bikes.
Customers can view the model details on aprilia.com/us_EN/new-tuareg-660/ and, beginning Wednesday, Nov. 10, can book their ideal configuration of the Tuareg 660 — with all of their factory options and upgrades — and select their dealer of choice directly at storeusa.aprilia.com.
Aprilia Tuareg 660 is developed on the mechanical base of the RS 660 and Tuono 660 and was conceived to tackle the roughest off-road riding while at the same time offering exciting yet comfortable mileage on road-dedicated adventures. The Tuareg 660 offers the best combination of single-cylinder enduros and large displacement adventure bikes: two opposing worlds — until now.
Non-conforming and original in its design, lightweight and powerful (412 pounds dry with 80 horsepower), it is the result of a conceptually ultra-modern and entirely new project. Tuareg 660 stands out for its riding ergonomics, specifically designed for off-road riding with a wide handlebar and slender body volume to facilitate movement in the saddle. The long suspension travel guarantees its capability tackling any obstacle, with a comfortable ride on the road and when touring. The complete equipment package includes an LED lighting system with perimeter daytime running lights (DRL) and 5-inch color thin-film transistor (TFT) instrumentation. It comes standard with the APRC with Ride-by-Wire multimap electronics package, including traction control, cruise control, engine brake and multiple engine maps. There are four customizable riding modes that let riders maximize their experience and make on-board life easier, simply selecting the desired riding mode to automatically obtain the best calibration of the electronics.
Aprilia Tuareg 660 is powered by a latest generation forward-facing twin cylinder engine, lightweight and with spectacular performance, fine-tuned to handle even the most demanding off-road riding. The vast catalog of accessories includes options for sportier off-road riding and more comfort for traveling. There is also a range of high-quality technical apparel dedicated to touring and off-road. The available color schemes include the Acid Gold version, bold and distinctive in true Aprilia tradition, and the Martian Red version. These are joined by the more nostalgic Indaco Tagelmust graphic.
Pricing: $11,999 (Acid Gold and Martian Red), $12,599 (Indaco Tagelmust)
