Press Release
Engine
Designed and developed by Aprilia, the twin cylinder engine powering the Dorsoduro 750 Factory and Dorsoduro 750 Factory has the ideal engine capacity to offer the perfect mix of rideability, flexibility and exhilaration. With a maximum power of 92 HP and a specific torque output without par in its class, this engine unleashes incredible urge at the slightest twist of the throttle grip, for breathtakingly instantaneous responsiveness.
Longitudinal 90°V architecture, liquid cooled, double overhead camshafts with mixed gear/chain valve timing and four valves per cylinder: a powerplant conceived in every single detail for enhanced performance and enjoyment.
Frame and Suspension
Developed and tested by Aprilia's engineers, the frame of the Dorsoduro 750 Factory is a sculpture in aluminium and steel derived from racing technology. The narrow trellis is designed specifically to complement the typical Motard riding style, with the bike gripped firmly between the legs, ensuring superior agility, precision and effectiveness.
The lateral frame plates and shell mould cast swingarm are made from aluminium: a material that not only offers maximum lightness, but is visually stunning it its own right and adds a premium touch to the bike. The swingarm is linked to a laterally mounted monoshock: this allowed the exhaust to be located under the saddle, benefiting both the design and the balance of the bike as well as affording easier access for adjustments.
The upside down front fork of the Dorsoduro 750 Factory, with adjustable hydraulic damping, and the adjustable laterally mounted rear monoshock allow the user to set the bike up for perfect suspension response in any situation.
Brembo Brakes
The best braking technology available today has been adopted on the Dorsoduro 750 Factory. The front brakes use new 4-piston Brembo radial callipers which ensure shorter stopping distances and offer enhanced brake force modulability, while visually adding an even sportier touch to the performance-focused style of the bike.
The 320 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc are both wave units. Both the front and rear brake systems use metal braid hosing for maximum braking precision. Class beating performance in true Factory style.
Hydraulic Clutch
Just one of the many cutting edge technological solutions used on the bike: the hydraulic clutch ensures precise and perfectly smooth release. The clutch is also self-adjusting, meaning that it needs no maintenance.
Matrix Instrumental Panel
A fully fledged on board computer controllable by the rider directly from the handlebar, with a display visualising all the engine parameters received over the CAN line and the contents of the self diagnosis memory. The LED illumination - with white for the analogue area and red for the digital area - has three different brightness settings for optimum visibility in all light conditions.
