When Ducati introduced its newest product Ducati Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak as a special edition, Aprilia was also launched Dorsoduro 1200 which has several similarities in certain parts. Especially from the number code which indicates the similarities in engine capacity, the 1200 cc, however the Dorsoduro has three different power options (sport, touring and rain version).
Hence, Aprilia dubbed this Dorsoduro as a “maxi-motard”, although the use of the name for the Italian Dorsoduro is being the ugliest name on the automotive world. In addition for the great in power with 130 HP which are released from the V-Twin engine, the motor is equipped with traction control and ABS systems.
When the team were designing Dorsoduro, Aprilia doesn’t want the new product being the same as general-in-class motor bike. The specifications must be on peak rank, and then the success of world class motor rider Max Biaggi holds the world champion in the arena of world Superbike Championship (WSBK) 2010 is being used as the inspiration in the machinery sector.
The improvement also including the chassis which is applied by dual frame models copied from Aprilia which has won many races. Interestingly, the double swing arm design is combined with an exhaust tip like stick at the end of the saddle in position of facing up while given a shield for the protector, make the Dorsoduro appearance being more muscular.
The great power is not such a problem when the motor does not want to stop while the rider pushes the brake handle. Aprilia has improved the performance of the rate freeze with the radical use of calipers from Brembo. The element of giving comfort while driving has also been the priority, such as technology, ride-by-wire plus a hydraulic clutch. So this is the time to get your 2 wheels roaring on the roads.
