Overview

Introducing the 2017 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack, a motorcycle that blends sport and touring like few others in the market. As a formidable contender in the sport touring category, the Caponord 1200 is designed for those who crave adventure without sacrificing comfort. With its robust Italian styling and engineering pedigree, this bike is as much at home winding through mountain passes as it is on long highway stretches. The Travel Pack variant enhances its touring capabilities with additional accessories, making it an enticing option for the discerning motorcyclist who seeks both performance and practicality. At the heart of the Caponord 1200 lies a powerful 1197cc V2 engine that delivers an exhilarating 125 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and a torque output of 114 Nm at 6,800 RPM. This engine, combined with a sophisticated 6-speed gearbox, provides a thrilling ride, whether you're overtaking on the highway or navigating through city traffic. The innovative Ride by Wire throttle management system offers three distinct riding modes—Sport, Touring, and Rain—allowing riders to tailor their experience to suit any condition. This flexibility, paired with the bike's liquid cooling and high compression ratio of 12:1, ensures that power delivery is both smooth and responsive, making every ride a joy. The Caponord 1200 is equipped with an array of advanced features designed to enhance comfort and safety on long journeys. The modular tubular steel frame, complemented by aluminum side plates, ensures a lightweight yet robust construction. Its fully adjustable Sachs suspension—167mm of travel at the front and 150mm at the rear—grants riders a plush ride over various terrains. Safety is paramount, with dual-channel Continental ABS and advanced traction control that instills confidence in challenging conditions. The bike also boasts a generous fuel capacity of 24 liters, allowing for extended journeys without frequent stops. Complemented by an adjustable seat height of 840mm, the Caponord is built for comfort, catering to a range of rider heights. **
