Tuareg's off-Road Soul

The Unbeatable Queen Of Africa Is Finally Available.

Following on from the success of the Tuareg Racing project comes the Aprilia Tuareg Rally, an unashamed derivation of the competition version crowned Queen of Africa in the Africa Eco Race. The new benchmark in twin-cylinders is set to dominate the most challenging off-road itineraries.

Rally replica

The Aprilia Tuareg Rally is available in the very same distinctive rally race replica colour of the bike ridden by Jacopo Cerutti when he crossed the legendary Dakar finishing line in first place. The fork, wheel rims and handlebar, designed for the very toughest Enduro riding, are all finished in a sporty anodised gold colour, while tapered lines, a reinforced aluminium sump and a new high mudguard showcase the bike’s uncompromising off-road character. The seat and handlebar offer increased control while riding in standing position on particularly extreme stretches.

Born for off-road

The Aprilia Tuareg Rally offers fast and responsive throttle response, perfect for overcoming obstacles when off-road riding. The SC Project exhaust, designed specifically for the Rally, is made of titanium and features a racing-style end cap with a 60 mm outlet, enhancing performance, sound, and reducing the bike’s overall wet weight to just 199 kg. With four riding modes – Urban, Explore, Off-Road and Individual – you can customise all key APRC electronic parameters depending on whether you’re after maximum riding precision or looking to unleash the bike’s full might and aggression.

Ride the extreme

The Aprilia Tuareg Rally is equipped for the most challenging off-road conditions, thanks to heavy-duty spoked wheels with narrow Ergal rims, a reinforced aluminium skid plate and knobby tyres with inner tubes. The fully-adjustable Kayaba suspension provides 240 mm of travel, the best among twin-cylinder bikes, and features linear constant-rate springs that enhance handling on rough terrain and reduce static sag, adding height to the bike.

APRC technology

Four riding modes (Urban, Explore, Off-Road and Individual), of which two can be personalised and one is designed specifically for off-road. ABS can be disabled on both wheels or just the rear. The comprehensive APRC package features Traction Control, Cruise Control, Anti-Lock Braking, Engine Map and Engine Brake. All this can be accessed via a high-visibility 5” TFT screen.

High-performance suspension

The Tuareg Rally’s fully-adjustable Kayaba fork and monoshock, with 240 mm of travel, use springs with a linear rather than progressive elastic spring-rate. This setup improves control on rough terrain and reduces static sag, increasing both the height and the actual travel of the suspension.

Heavy-duty wheels

The heavy-duty spoked wheels with narrow Ergal rims are designed to be hardwearing and lightweight. In unision with knobby tyres with inner tubes, they deliver excellent traction and riding precision on rugged terrain.

Exhilerating engine

Quick to rev and eager for an exhilarating power surge, the Aprilia Tuareg Rally’s engine is a modern, liquid-cooled, forward-facing twin-cylinder compliant with Euro 5+ regulations. It delivers 80 hp at 9250 rpm and 70 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm while the 52-mm throttle bodies boost throttle response at all speeds. The rare-earth generator reduces inertia, helping to improve acceleration and making it easier to lift the front wheel, lightening the front end to overcome obstacles in off-road riding.

Lightweight

A key feature is its further reduced weight, which enhances feel and balance and is the best in the category. Courtesy of the specialised wheel set and titanium exhaust, the overall weight drops from the Aprilia Tuareg’s 204 kg to a wet weight of just 199 kg, resulting in improved agility and responsiveness.

SC Project exhaust

The Tuareg Rally sports a  SC Project exhaust with an all-titanium muffler featuring a racing-style rim and generous 60-mm outlet.
