2015 Aprilia Caponord to debut at INTERMOT

  • Piaggio has announced that it will present a more off-road capable version of the Aprilia Caponord at next week's Intermot show in Cologne, Germany.
  • One of the prominent changes is a larger wheel up front – swapping the previous 17 inch wheel for a wire-spoke 19 inch; the rear remains a 17 incher though. The bike also gets a 24-litre fuel tank, LED running lights, a larger screen, aluminium saddlebags, crash bars and skid plate for better off road ability.

  • Powered by Aprilia’s 1200cc V-Twin engine, the Caponord Rally comes equipped with the Aprilia Dynamic Damping semi-active suspension system that automatically adapts its calibration to match the road surface and riding style.
  • Additional features include ride-by-wire throttle, three selective engine maps, traction control, cruise control and switchable ABS.
  • Piaggio will formally unveil the Rally on September 30 in Cologne and the bike will start arriving in showrooms in Europe by January 2015.
