2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack Year: 2015 Engine Size: 1200cc Make: Aprilia Color: Red Model: Caponord 1200 Travel Pack VIN: ZD4VKC016FS000239 Description: Cutting it's teeth in the strong Adventure Touring market of Europe, he Aprilia Caponord 1200 now comes to North America with the all-in Travel Pack. Bringing the legendary Caponord name back, prilia has given the bike a new suite of technology, porting new features from the leader in rider features. The real difficulty in discussing the new Caponord 1200 is where to start. With a 1200cc engine derived from the Dorsoduro 1200, o Aprilia Dynamic Damping, o a chassis that is built to conquer the longest and gnarliest of roads, here is much to cover.
- The Engine: The Aprilia V twin engine has been significantly modified to better suit the engine characteristics and has been manufactured with highly advanced manufacturing technology. Great attention has been paid to internal flow dynamics toimprove combustion, educe friction and optimise performance. Even from low revs, he smooth power delivery improves rider comfort and enhances the riding experience thanks to the high degree of torque available. What this means ismore fun with better fuel consumption.
- The Chassis: The layout consists of a mixture of a high resistance tubular steel frame fastened to cast aluminium side plates. This configuration offers a perfect balance between weight and the optimal values of torsional and longitudinal stiffness which add to handling and stability. The new rear subframe ensures stability when travelling fully loaded while the lateral positioning of the shock absorber which fastens the frame to the aluminium swingarm leaves plenty of room for the exhaust manifold. As part of the Caponord 1200 Travel Pack, he forks and shock absorber are electronically controlled by the aDD (Aprilia Dynamic Damping) system.
- The Technology: While the Caponord 1200 comes already fitted with a wide range of standard equipment, he Travel Pack version adds a set of 29 liter color coded panniers, center stand, CC cruise control and the very latest aDD semi-active suspension system with the rear suspension being 100% active (the first motorbike with such a system). aDD (Aprilia Dynamic Damping) is the very latest electronic suspension control system developed by Aprilia and covered by four patents. It is the benchmark in the motorcycling world as regards technology, fficiency and reliability. aDD has two main objectives: one is to maximise comfort and the other is to enhance the rideability and safety of the machine. The system measures the energy transmitted to the bike from the road surface and, n real time, djusts the hydraulic calibration of the forks and shock absorber to always provide the best possible suspension settings depending on the riding style at that moment, he load being carried and the amount of grip available. To achieve maximum performance at any fork and shock absorber operating frequency, DD uses a patented “MIX” "comfort oriented" algorithm which combines the principles of the well known skyhook and acceleration driven damping algorithms. In addition to comfort, ideability is also optimised and safety is increased thanks to further software strategies which are tied directly to the rider's actions. In fact, he system recognises different riding phases (acceleration, hrottle release, raking, onstant throttle) and adjusts the baseline fork and shock absorber settings thanks to yet another patent which allows specific hydraulic calibration curves to be defined within the adjustment range. Aprilia is also the first motorcycle manufacturer in the world to introduce a completely "active" shock absorber which can automatically its spring preload setting. The same multi-function digital instrument panel as fitted to the Caponord 1200 is also found on the Caponord 1200 Travel Pack.
