The Aprilia Tuareg 660 is a standout in the adventure motorcycle segment, offering a perfect blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability. Its handling is precise and nimble, making it a joy to ride on both tarmac and trails.

The bikes suspension, with 240mm of travel front and rear, is exceptionally good, providing a plush ride without compromising on stability.

Aprilia has unveiled the 2025 Tuareg 660 Rally, a model inspired by their victory in the Africa Eco Race. This new version is developed in collaboration with the Guareschi brothers GCorse and features a new engine map for quicker throttle response and stiffer suspension for better off-road control. The bike also includes new styling and technical features, such as 52 mm throttle bodies and a rare-earth generator for improved acceleration.
