The Aprilia Tuareg 457 will be the most affordable adventure tourer in the Italian brand’s line-up, sitting below the Tuareg 660. The RS 457-based ADV has been spotted competing in a rally which gave away some details about the bike.
The bike seems to have retained a design theme similar to its existing 660 sibling with the side panels, fuel tank, and tail section bearing some resemblance. The spotted rally bike had a dramatic headlamp section with a rally tower for navigation all of which will replaced by a more practical setup on the production model.
The motorcycle was seemingly riding on a 21-18-inch spoke wheel setup with a long-travel suspension setup. The chassis looks specifically designed for the Tuareg and looks completely different from that of the RS 457. While the engine will be the same 47bhp, 457cc, twin-cylinder unit as on the RS, Aprilia might change the tuning to suit the Tuareg’s character and purpose. Moreover, similar to its sportbike sibling, the Italian ADV should come loaded with features like a TFT screen, multiple riding modes, and switchable traction control and ABS.
