User manual APRILIA MANA GT 850 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 open up a whole new world of excitement thanks to Aprilia technology and design. Enjoyment, easy ridability, comfort and safety: everything you have ever wanted from a bike and more, answering your dreams as well as your everyday needs. The electronically controlled gearbox adapts to cater for all possible conditions and riding styles perfectly. [. . . ] In Autodrive mode, the electronic transmission management system takes care of everything, making maximum torque and maximum acceleration available at all times. There are also 3 different maps to choose from: · TOURING for relaxed long distance journeys · SPORT for tackling the tarmac with a vengeance · RAIN for maximum safety even in slippery conditions For confident overtaking or to exploit engine braking when riding down mountain roads, the transmission has another trick up its sleeve: Semi-Autodrive mode, selectable at any time by downshifting with the foot lever or handlebar shift control. AUTODRIVE MATRIX INSTRUMENT PANEL The button on the left hand handlebar grip puts the multiple functions of the analogue-digital instrument panel at your fingertip. The elegant and sporty instrument panel also has its own dedicated self-diagnostic memory. The LED backlighting white for the analogue area and red for the digital display - has three different brightness settings to ensure the data (from the CAN link) is perfectly readable in all conditions. 1234567 SEQUENZIALE 7654321 Sequential Mode. Sequential mode gives you total control over the gearbox, letting you select between 7 speeds with incredible speed and precision: bend after bend, traffic light after traffic light In Semi-Sequential mode, if the rider does not manually change gear, the transmission downshifts automatically to prevent engine speed from falling below the predetermined minimum threshold. MANA ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. BRAKES WITH RADIAL CALLIPERS Even the brake system expresses a degree of technological sophistication worthy of a much more expensive motorcycle. The front brake boasts four-piston radial callipers stopping a pair of floating discs with full 320 mm in diameter and controlled by a hydraulic pump with integrated reservoir: a race-derived solution offering superior safety in all conditions. Completing the system is a 260-mm rear disc brake. DUAL CHANNEL ABS Developed specifically for the Mana GT 850 and Mana 850, the sophisticated dual channel ABS further enhances the active and passive safety of the bike. This system, which lets the rider make full use of the power of the oversized brake system, even in unforeseen situations and in difficult or treacherous conditions, such as with a wet road surface, is already offered as standard on the Mana GT 850! MANA GT A RIGID, COMPACT FRAME The frame of the Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 was developed in parallel with the engine for total symbiosis between the chassis and the powerplant. Its tubular steel trellis structure ensures benchmark levels of rigidity to suit the innovative characteristics of the transmission and the exhilarating performance of the engine, resulting in an intuitive ride and remarkable precision in the bends. All of this in an extremely compact package: another masterpiece of motorcycle engineering, in true Aprilia tradition. SUSPENSION WITH ADJUSTABLE SIDE-MOUNTED SHOCK ABSORBER Technical perfectionism and obsessive attention to detail are even evident in the suspension. The upside down fork with 43-mm stanchions offers superbly effective and progressive damping action. The adjustable side-mounted shock absorber, linked directly to the monolithic aluminium swingarm, has made a shorter wheelbase possible, for greater manoeuvrability. Wheel travel is 120 mm at the front and 125 mm at the rear: the ideal values for tackling the whole spectrum of road conditions, from cobbled city streets to mountain switchbacks. On the Mana GT 850, the rear shock absorber is equipped with an adjustment dial as standard, for finding the perfect setup to cater for the additional weight of a passenger or luggage for longer journeys even more quickly and easily. MANA UNIQUE STYLE. A perfect fusion of design and technology, Mana 850 stands out from the crowd in every enviable detail: from the perfect architecture of the exposed frame to the aggressive and elegant round headlight. On the GT version, this unique character gains additional protectiveness and aerodynamic efficiency, with a generous top fairing to keep you shielded from the wind, adjusting the windscreen to suit you personal preference. The location of the fuel tank, which is placed under the saddle, is also original. This is a race-derived solution that keeps the centre of gravity of the bike perfectly balanced in all conditions. FUEL TANK UNDER SADDLE HELMET COMPARTMENT (FLIP-UP HELMET) MANA UNPARALLELED COMFORT. HOLDING BRAKE LEVER Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 feature exclusive solutions, making usage simpler and easier in all conditions. A lever on the left hand side of the bike operates the holding brake, facilitating parking manoeuvres even when going downhill, allowing access to the front compartment without moving the bike with difficulty, and making brief stops to adjust garments (jacket or helmet) and stopping at tollbooths easier. HELMET COMPARTMENT The exclusive, spacious front compartment, which is large enough for a flip-up helmet, also boasts internal lighting and is lined with a slip-proof, scratch-resistant surface. The compartment also includes a mobile phone pocket and a 12-V power socket: everything you need conveniently within reach. SAFETY LATCHES The front compartment latch is operated from an electronic control on the handlebar, while the lid is damped by a hydropneumatic strut designed to prevent accidental aperture.
