Overview

Introducing the 2009 Aprilia Mana 850 ABS, a standout naked bike that redefines the genre with its innovative approach to performance and versatility. Designed for riders who crave a balance of functionality and spirited riding, the Mana 850 is a unique offering from Aprilia, blending the ease of an automatic gearbox with the thrill of a sporty naked design. With its sleek lines and commanding presence, this motorcycle is perfect for urban commuting or weekend escapades, capturing the attention of both novice and seasoned riders alike. At the heart of the Mana 850 is a robust 839.30cc V2 four-stroke engine that produces an impressive 75.09 horsepower at 8000 RPM and 73 Nm of torque at 5000 RPM. This combination delivers exhilarating acceleration and smooth power delivery, making it a joy to ride whether you're navigating city streets or carving through winding country roads. The engine’s liquid cooling system and advanced Weber Marelli electronic fuel injection ensure optimal performance and efficiency, while the automatic gearbox allows for seamless shifting, letting riders focus on the thrill of the ride without the hassle of clutch operation. With adjustable riding modes—Touring, Sport, and Rain—not only does the Mana adapt to various conditions, but it also enhances the overall riding experience. The Mana 850 is packed with features that elevate its riding dynamics. The advanced chassis design boasts a 43 mm upside-down front fork with 120 mm of wheel travel, offering excellent handling and stability. Coupled with dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc, the bike provides confident stopping power, enhanced by the added safety of ABS. The bike’s weight of 181 kg ensures it remains nimble and responsive, while the generous 16-liter fuel tank caters to longer rides without frequent stops. Riders can appreciate the comfortable seat height of 800 mm, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Versatile Gearbox: The unique automatic/manual gearbox offers flexibility, allowing riders to switch between modes based on preference and conditions.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: The 800 mm seat height and ergonomically designed seating make it comfortable for both short commutes and long-distance rides.
  • Advanced Technology: The combination of multiple riding modes and sophisticated fuel management helps in optimizing performance across various riding conditions.

Cons

  • Weight: At 181 kg, the Mana 850 may feel a bit heavy for novice riders, especially in low-speed maneuvers.
  • Limited Customization: While its features are impressive, some riders may find the styling and options less customizable compared to other naked bikes in the market.
  • Niche Appeal: The automatic gearbox, while innovative, may not appeal to traditionalists who prefer the tactile engagement of a manual transmission.
