[. . . ] STRENGTH AND LIGHTNESS The aluminium and steel frame of the DORSODURO 1200 draws directly from Aprilia racing technology and from the brand's undisputed successes on the world's race tracks. The narrow trellis is designed specifically to complement the typical Motard riding style, with the bike gripped firmly between the legs, ensuring superior agility, precision and effectiveness. The aluminium used for the lateral frame plates, the shell mould cast swingarm and the saddle mount not only ensures maximum lightness, but also lends an attractive touch of exclusivity to the bike. FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION The completely adjustable monoshock with separate piggyback canister is mounted laterally: this allowed the exhaust to be located under the saddle, benefiting both the design and the balance of the bike as well as affording easier access for adjustments. The upside down front fork of the DORSODURO 1200, with adjustable hydraulic compression and rebound damping as well as adjustable spring preload, lets you set the bike up for perfect suspension response in any situation, and to suit your riding style to a tee. CHASSIS + MONOSHOCK + SWINGARM ABS VERSION WITH APRILIA TRACTION CONTROL (ATC) Aprilia has developed a specific ABS system for the DORSODURO 1200 in collaboration with Continental. This is a two channel system that manages the front and rear brakes independently with a sophisticated electronic control unit monitoring the wheel speed in real time and specific calibration for "fun" use. This means that the rider can exploit the full power of the system and grip of the tyres with confidence in all conditions. DORSODURO 1200 is also the only maxi-motard on the market offered with Aprilia Traction Control (ATC): an exclusive traction control system working in conjunction with the sophisticated ABS system, which allows the rider to make full use of the performance of the exuberant 1200 cc engine, to tackle even the most challenging terrain and most difficult conditions in safety. When active, the system offers three different selectable traction control levels. LEVEL 1 - for an extreme riding experience and maximum fun and adrenaline, when curbing the incredible power of the engine is the last thing on your mind. LEVEL 2 - for total control in all terrain conditions and maximum thrill factor. LEVEL 3 - ideal for tackling challenging conditions, such as slippery roads where grip is poor.
