Aprilia Dorsoduro Name: Owners from new: Service History: Service History None Partial Full. Is this a UK bike or an import?: Aprilia engineers achieved this result by designing a long and flat saddle, clearly derived from the sports world, capable of ensuring the most effective riding position at all times and allowing plenty of room for longitudinal movement.
The tail is one of the most representative aesthetic aspects of the Dorsoduro: The frame and the cylinder head covers, painted red, are yet another sporty feature. Gritty finish combines with the new graphics in the brand new Adrenalinic Silver colour scheme.
Electronic engine management is now handled by the new and more powerful Marelli 7 SM ECU, the same hardware used on the V4 bikes from Noale, that dialogues with the new full Ride-by-wire electronic accelerator system , completely built into the throttle grip. The engine is, therefore, always able to distribute the ideal torque and provide the best acceleration, all to the advantage of a satisfying and fun ride.
The system also allows a weight reduction of grams compared to the previous Ride-by-wire that equipped the Dorsoduro The sophisticated electronic management also provides the possibility of changing the engine mapping, radically changing the character of how the power it is capable of developing is unloaded onto the ground. The Sport setting provides an immediate and aggressive throttle response; the Touring logic provides a smoother response, ideal for touring and daily use, whereas the Rain map reduces available power to about 70 HP and is therefore ideal in the event of difficult weather conditions or on slippery road surfaces.
Mapping can also be changed at any time, even on the fly, by simply pressing the engine start button. Dorsoduro introduces a new Aprilia traction control system with sensitivity adjustable to three levels it can also be disabled to limit rear wheel spin by acting on ignition and the injection throttle valves. The Dorsoduro 's Aprilia Traction Control system is combined with a Continental two-channel ABS system with developed calibration in order not to take anything away from the sporty ride.
The ABS feature can also be disabled. The new electrical system places the engine control and management systems in communication with the new colour TFT digital instrumentation. The compact unit with a 4. The information displayed includes: One of the optional features is the AMP installation kit, the Aprilia multimedia platform that connects a smartphone to the vehicle to provide an exceptional quantity of information useful for the ride: The Aprilia V-twin was therefore revisited in numerous details to achieve this purpose.
The new engine capacity was obtained by increasing the stroke from By so doing, maximum power now peaks at It should be noted that, despite the fact that maximum torque peak for the new cc V-twin is reached a higher rpms, the torque curve is actually flatter and always higher than the cc predecessor. This operation allowed for an increase in acceleration response and pick up, all to the advantage of riding fun, without limiting the proverbial reliability of the powerplant in any way, shape or form. Although the architecture remains unchanged - 90 degree angle between the two cylinders, as well as a timing system with four valves per cylinder, dual overhead cam and liquid cooling - the new engine has undergone various changes: The crankshaft, also new, is balanced differently.
A new and more efficient semi-dry carter internal lubrication circuit reduces losses of power due to shaking and keeps consumption and temperature of the lubricant to a limit, thereby eliminating the need for an oil radiator. The engine also uses new injectors: This result is also achieved thanks to the exhaust system, fitted with a double oxygen sensor. The Aprilia Dorsoduro engine is also fitted with an automatic decompresser which makes it easier to start in low temperature conditions.
Aprilia Dorsoduro is also available in a limited-power 35 kW version , ideal for newly licensed riders. All Aprilia bikes have always been considered a point of reference for their excellent chassis architecture. The Dorsoduro chassis provides high characteristics of efficiency, balance, a tight ride and precision even in extreme track riding, but at the same time it is easy and intuitive for daily use.
