Aprilia Tuareg 660 destined for NZ!
Aprilia has revealed details about the Tuareg. It shares the engine platform derivative from the RS660 sports and Tuono 660 naked bikes.
The 660cc parallel-twin engine that debuted in the supersport machines has been retuned for peak power of 60kW, while it is complemented by a maximum torque figure of 70Nm, much of it developed at low and middling revs.
Weighing in at 187kg before fluids and, with an 18L fuel tank and other liquids, that means a wet weight of around 204kg. So a bit more power and weight than its rival, Yamaha’s Tenere 700.
Ground clearance is a claimed 240mm and seat height is 860mm. Wheels are 21 front and 18 inches rear.
Other features include LED lights, metal footpegs and bash plate, a five-inch TFT dash, four riding modes (two user changeable), switchable ABS (Brembos), traction control, cruise control, and engine brake control. APRC integrates the safety systems and includes wheelie control, amongst other things. Up front is a 43mm fork that features a single shock absorber.
Expect pricing around the $20k mark and an introduction around the tail end of 2021.
