2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Touring Caponord

This 2015 Aprilia Caponord Tou which includes Travel Pack option, marks the return of the platform after Aprilia sunset the ETV 1000 Caponord in 2007. Instead of borrowing the engine from the V4 range (Tuono or RSV4), the Caponord gets a 1,197 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine similar to that found in the Dorsoduro 1200. Aprilia says the engine and electronics are tuned for more mid-range power, which is aided by including 52 mm throttle bodies instead of the 57 mm ones found in the Dorso. The Caponord makes a (claimed) 125 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 84.6 foot-pounds of torque at 6,800 rpm.

Power delivery is modified through three riding modes: Sport, Tou, and Rain.
Front suspension is handled by a 43 mm Sachs inverted fork while the rear gets a Sachs dynamic monoshock absorber. The Aprilia Caponord is fitted with Aprilia Dynamic Dampening (ADD), which pairs a fully active rear suspension with a semi-active front fork to modify the settings automatically as you ride. The system measures the weight of the load, wheel speed, throttle and brake position, and input from sensors on the fork and swingarm to set rebound and compression damping up front and rebound, compression, and sp preload in the rear. Or, if you're unhappy with how the system is setting the suspension for you, you can lock it in one of four combinations of rider, passenger, and luggage.
Stopping power is delivered through two 320 mm floating discs up front, which are paired with Brembo monoblock four-piston radially mounted calipers fed through a steel-braided brake line. The rear gets a 240 mm disc mated to a Brembo single-piston caliper and also gets a steel-braided brake line. The Caponord also comes with two-channel ABS as standard.

This is the Tou edition of the Caponord, which comes completely kitted out with a manually adjustable windscreen, hand guards, grip warmers, 29-liter hard panniers, and cruise control. For those of you in colder climates, rest assured that the bike comes with a 690-watt alternator that can easily power any and all of your heated gear and electronic devices.
