• It’s What We Do

Aprilia is a company that prides itself on building high-perfor-mance sports bikes. The list of World Superbike championships and MotoGP involvement figures highly in all its company material. And justifiably so.

But what happens when a company with that kind of focus and heritage decides to enter the adventure market?

The Caponord Rally happens. It’s a beautiful mix of today’s current thinking combined with Italian styling and some very high-performance innovation.

Looking good

There’s no doubting the Caponord is some-thing different. Just looking at the bike makes a rider start thinking, “Whoa! What have we got here?”
