Aprilia has officially revealed the Caponord 1200 Rally edition adventure-touring motorcycle. The Caponord 1200 Rally was scheduled to be unveiled at the 2014 INTERMOT Show, later this month. However, the Italian manufacturer unexpectedly lifted the embargo on the motorcycle and publicly revealed its details and images, yesterday.
While the Caponord 1200 Rally edition is mechanically identical to the regular motorcycle, it gets 19-inch spoked wheel, hard panniers, a larger screen and a protector plate for the oil sump. Standard equipment list includes traction control, cruise control, switchable ABS and the aDD suspension system, which can automatically adapt to the road surface and riding style.
The Caponord 1200 Rally will be powered by a 1200cc V-twin engine which pumps out 128bhp and 116Nm of torque. The liquid-cooled mill comes with a ride-by-wire throttle system with three engine modes, and is mated to a six-speed gearbox.
While the Caponord 1200 is already an exceptional touring motorcycle, which comes laden with the technology developed by the Aprilia’s Championship winning racing division, and the new additions to the Rally edition is expected to boost the motorcycle's off-roading as well as touring capabilities. The Aprilia Coponord 1200 retails in the Indian market for Rs 18.86 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).
