We return very right from the presentation of Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travels Pack, the whole new maximum trail conceived on the basis of very muscular Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 1.2. And technical side, Aprilia did not haggle over the efforts: wrinkle by wire, ABS, anti-skid ATC, electronic speed regulator, re-examined cartographies engine and suspensions assisted among the most sophisticated moment. Only that!
This year, the battle made fumes at the maximum trails, and the models ravel at bikescatalog. And finally, Aprilia held there a new value standard in the category? It is what one would be in right to think of the reading of the press kit of the news Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travels Pack.
The framework is different, just like the rims, the line of exhaust, the suspensions, all the production, the instrument panel, the system of injection, and the reports of box…
So that in spite of a punt forms seemingly common, one is indeed entitled to a motorcycle entirely reconsidered for every other objectives: to roll the every day and to leave on a journey to two with weapons and luggage, the whole with an improved security and an autonomy…
Much more beautiful than in Milan
If there is well a first report to draw up, it is that of good progress by Noale in terms of presentation since the Eicma living room of Milan. Pale, sad, fairly qualitative in Milan, Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travels Pack today is assembled differently better, with pretty details of Ci from there. The saddle and the rims are superb, the preparing of instrument panel is well adjusted and nothing trembles on the way of bumps. And god knows if there can be in Sardinia, place of this presentation presses wet.

The banana under the helmet… but not at the beginning
And the least which one can say, it is that our first feelings rather deserved the qualifier of half-tone. Admittedly, it rained, but the motorcycle first of all did not appear more natural: feeling of heaviness, even of inaccuracy at the time as of character, phase shifts “cubit” according to certain fellow-members… The first debriefing at the edge of the road was not more resting for their nerves of people from Aprilia.
But, some adjustments of adjustments electronics will be introduced later – we will return above in the complete test – and a prestressing on the position that only controls more luggage’s and had made it possible to find the smile and a behavior definitely more serene. And there, Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travels Pack could show the wide one of its talent, in particular in terms of security of control.
Between the well gauged ABS, the effective one anti-skid which does not muzzle the large twin-cylinder and the absorption of the suspensions on the irregularities, one thinks that Caponord joined the closed club of the swift motorcycles, making safe… and frankly not sad but thanks to his driving enchanter, so torque with bottom and mid–mode.
