Aprilia Caponord 1200 (2014)

The Aprilia Caponord 1200 is a force to be reckoned with in the adventure touring segment. At its heart lies a potent 90-degree 1200cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, pumping out 128 horsepower and 116Nm of torque through its six-speed gearbox.

Selectable engine mapping modes – Sport, Touring, and Rain – let you tailor your ride to suit any terrain or weather conditions. The ride-by-wire throttle ensures smooth, consistent power delivery, while the hydraulic clutch makes gear shifts silky-smooth.

The Caponord 1200’s chassis is a masterclass in balance and agility, with a blend of steel tubes and forged aluminum plates that make it both light and strong. Long-distance riding has never been easier or more comfortable, thanks to optimized ergonomics and a range of clever features like height-adjustable windshields and generous storage space.

With its 24-liter fuel tank offering over 300km of range per fill-up, the Caponord 1200 is the perfect companion for any adventure. Whether you’re carving through twisties or traversing rugged terrain, this machine has got your back – and a whole lot more besides.
