ENJOYYOUR WORLD


3/7

Born from Aprilias winning

experience on race tracks all over

the world, the powerful Caponord

1200 engine has been optimised

for maximum comfort and riding

enjoyment, thanks to the smooth

and progressive delivery of power,

even at low rev and high torque

values, without compromising on

equally unparalleled control and

manageability, thanks to the Ride-

by-Wire system and the advanced

Aprilia electronics package that also

includes Traction Control, Cruise

Control, ADD (Aprilia Dynamic

Damping) suspension and ABS.

A liquid-cooled 90 longitudinal V-Twin with double overhead camshaft driven by a

mixed gear-chain system providing a reduction in overall dimensions. The new

throttle bodies with double injectors per cylinder, combined with the twin-sparkignition system, provide a more fluid and smooth delivery and almost 11.7 kgm of

maximum torque at 6800 rpm/min starting form low revs; According to an almost flat

curve that lets you perceive the exuberant and uncompromising character of this

bike from the very first moment.

IDEAL TORQUE

The ultra-modern engine of the Caponord 1200 has a sophisticated electronic

Ride-by-Wire system that allows you to deliver the correct torque at every moment,

both when driving in the city as well as on country or mountain roads, all to the

benefit of enjoyment, comfort and fuel consumption.

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

Another technologically advanced solution: the hydraulic clutch always provides

precise and perfectly smooth release. In addition, being self-adjusting, it needs nomaintenance.

TRI-MAP: ONE BIKE, THREE PERSONALITIES

Close the gas and choose which bike you want to ride today, its as simple as pressinga button: making your every wish come true has never been easier.

SPORT - maximum performance, for when you want to put yourself to the testwith the exuberance of immediate and direct delivery.

TOURING - fluid and smooth, to exploit all the power

of the 1200 cc engine at all times.

RAIN - calibrated, with power cut to size at 100 HP for you to enjoy yourself

even in non-optimal grip conditions or on wet asphalt.

ADVANCED INSTRUMENTATION

Fully digital, the Caponord 1200

instrumentation allows you to keep

everything under control: selected enginemapping, electrical adjustment of the spring

preload, gear position, level of adjustment

of the ATC system and functioning of the

optional heated grips.

ADD (APRILIA DYNAMIC DAMPING):

PURE RIDING PLEASURE.

Aprilia, as always, is at the absolute forefront in

technology, introducing the ADD (Aprilia DynamicDamping) electronic suspension control system, able

to measure the energy transmitted to the vehicle by

the roughness of the asphalt and adapt, in real time, the

calibration of the fork and shock absorber for optimal

comfort. The ADD system exploits a patented comfortoriented software, which combines the principles of the

well-known skyhook and acceleration driven damping

algorithms. The system also recognises the riders actions

(acceleration, gas release, braking, constant gas) andadapts, thanks to an additional exclusive patent, the basic

setting of the fork and shock absorber, in order to optimise

rideability and increase safety in every situation.

CRUISE CONTROL:

NO STRESS.

The Travel Pack also includes Cruise

Control, to set a desired speed and keep

it constant, even uphill and downhill,

automatically deactivating it as soon as therider touches the brake, clutch or Cruise

Control button. A very useful system during

long journeys on the motorway, to make

riding even less tiring and reduce fuel

consumption even further.

THE FIRST DYNAMIC SHOCK ABSORBER

IN THE BIKE WORLD

The ADD system, included in the Caponord

1200 Travel Pack, also includes the shock

absorber with built-in piggy back, with

electrically adjustable spring preload in 4preset positions, marked with a specific icon

on the digital instrumentation: rider only, rider

with passenger, rider only with panniers, rider

and passenger with panniers.

An exclusive patent of the Aprilia systemis the automatic spring preload control

system. Selecting this option, the system

automatically detects the load on board the

bike and dynamically adjusts the preload to

the optimal value for the correct balance ofthe bike.

PURE RIDINGPLEASURE


5/7

The splendid frame of the Caponord 1200, in aluminium and steel, is derived directly from Aprilias racing technology and its successful experience

on race tracks around the world, optimised for relaxed and at the same time enjoyable riding. The rear sub-frame provides extreme solidity even

when travelling at full load. The 17 aluminium wheels, also of racing origin, provide maximum lightness and manoeuvrability. The wide section

tyres with special tread pattern support the rider even in the most thrilling leans and are also suitable for undemanding off-road terrain.

ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

Caponord 1200 has a manually adjustable shock absorber in terms of spring preload and extension hydraulics and a USD fork, fully adjustable

in extension, compression and spring preload with 43 mm stems, embellished with shell-cast feet.

BREMBO RADIAL CALIPERS

Safety and total control with the Brembo braking system of racing origin: double 320 mm discs and new 4-piston monoblock calipers

with radial mounting at the front, 240 mm disc and single-piston floating caliper at the rear.

TRAVEL PACK: READY FOR THE JOURNEY

The Travel Pack includes the ADD system, Cruise Control,

electrically adjustable shock absorber, central stand and the

exclusive 29-litre panniers, specially designed in harmonywith the aerodynamics, ergonomics and aesthetics of the

Caponord 1200. These latter two components can also be

installed on the standard version, along with a wide range

of accessories.

DESIGNED IN THE WIND TUNNEL

Slim and sleek, Caponord 1200 is a perfect synthesis of form, function, design

and technology. The position of the rider and passenger, particularly comfortable

even after hours and hours of riding, comes from an in-depth ergonomic study.

Also particular attention has been paid to aerodynamic protection, thanks to

the shape of the windshield, adjustable in height, the hand protectors and side

panels. Comfort is also guaranteed by the design of the wide, low saddle and the

tank which has reduced lateral dimensions but does not compromise the 24 litre

capacity: allowing you to travel hundreds of miles without any problems.

ABS SYSTEM WITH APRILIA TRACTION

CONTROL (ATC)

Aprilia, in collaboration with Continental, hasdeveloped a two-channel ABS system which

separately manages the front and rear brake,

with a sophisticated electronic control unit

which continuously controls the speed of the

wheels and calibration specifically designed

to ensure maximum safety in all situations,without detracting from riding enjoyment. Aprilia

Traction Control (ATC) on the other hand is an

exclusive traction control system, associatedwith the sophisticated ABS system, which

always provides the best performance from

the exuberant 1200 cc engine, also on the

most insidious routes and in the most difficult

situations, with utmost safety. When engaged,this device has in fact 3 levels of control:

LEVEL 1- for a pure riding experience, all

fun and adrenaline, without worrying too much

about managing the generous engine power.LEVEL 2- suitable for the city, tourism and

in general any route, always with maximum

emotion.

LEVEL 3- ideal for the most difficult situations,such as slippery roads, with total control.

The two systems, ABS and ATC, can be

deactivated independently of each other.
