Overview

Introducing the 2020 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900, a thrilling entry in the super motard category that captures the essence of fun, versatility, and performance. This Italian masterpiece stands out not just for its aggressive styling and robust build, but also for its ability to bridge the gap between urban commuting and spirited weekend rides. With a unique character that blends elements of a naked bike with the agility of a dirt bike, the Dorsoduro 900 is designed for riders who crave excitement on both asphalt and gravel. At the heart of the Dorsoduro 900 lies a powerful 896.10cc V2, four-stroke engine that produces an exhilarating 95.20 horsepower at 8,750 RPM and a torque of 90.00 Nm at 6,500 RPM. This punchy engine is complemented by a 6-speed gearbox and an advanced electronic fuel injection system with ride-by-wire throttle control, ensuring precise handling and instantaneous power delivery. Riders will appreciate the seamless acceleration and responsive throttle, allowing for confident overtaking and thrilling cornering. Coupled with a lightweight frame at just 186 kg (410 lbs), the Dorsoduro 900 offers a remarkable power-to-weight ratio, enhancing its agility and nimbleness on twisty roads. The Dorsoduro 900 is equipped with a plethora of features designed to enhance the riding experience. Its modular tubular steel frame is not only robust but also allows for easy customization, while the upside-down front forks and Sachs monoshock rear suspension provide 160 mm of travel for a responsive ride over varying terrains. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring dual 320 mm front discs and a single 240 mm rear disc, both equipped with ABS for added safety. Riders can also enjoy the electric starter and a comfortable seat height of 870 mm, making it accessible for a range of riders. With color options like Adrenalinoc Silver and Exciting Dark, the Dorsoduro 900 is as stylish as it is functional. **
