2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 Design Motorcycle

2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 Design Motorcycle  is a radical, outrageously agile and sporty bike. Dorsoduro 1200 a bike with the soul of a pure motard racer. The ultra-narrow mid section of the bike - the area that interacts most with the movements of the rider's body when riding hard - emphasises the extreme compactness of the bike itself. While tailored for total riding fun, as with all Aprilia bikes, the chassis layout of the Dorsoduro also earns respect for its formidable dynamic balance.

SUSPENSION: PERFORMANCE UNDER CONTROL

The 43 mm Sachs upside-down fork with shell-cast calliper brackets features adjustable spring preload and hydraulic compression and rebound damping. A component allowing experienced riders to explore the full potential of the bike's performance, even on the track.

BRAKES: RACING TECHNOLOGY - ALSO AVAILABLE WITH ABS

The Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 adopts the state of the art in brake technology: at the front are 4-piston radial Brembo callipers gripping 320 mm floating discs. Both the front and rear brake systems employ aeronautical grade metal braided hoses, which eliminate the undesirable pressure fluctuations of conventional hoses for maximum braking precision and truly class-beating stopping performance.

When active, the system offers three different selectable traction control levels which adapt each of the bike's dynamic parameters to suit the personal needs and preferences of the rider:

Level 1: for an extreme riding experience and maximum fun and adrenaline, when curbing the incredible power of the engine is the last thing on your mind.

Level 2: for total control in all terrain conditions and maximum thrill factor.

Level 3: ideal for tackling challenging conditions, such as slippery roads where grip is poor.
