The Aprilia maxi supermoto adds further technical elements to meet the needs of more experienced riders. The bike got even lighter and better equipped, and the Factory is now available as a new version with ABS. The new 750 Dorsoduro Factory is powered by the latest generation of the Aprilia 90° V twin-cylinder engine that, thanks to the advanced electronic control, boosts top performance similar to that of higher displacement engines.

The chassis, with its tubular frame and aluminium structure, is one of the distinctive elements of the Dorsoduro Factory – a common thread that unites the winning Aprilia racing models with the most exciting twin cylinder supermoto on the market. With its essential design, characterised by the considerable use of carbon fibre for the top structure, Aprilia Dorsoduro Factory boasts components, technical fittings and trim features of the highest levels. Brembo 4-piston radial callipers, Wave brake discs, oil-bath hydraulic clutch, fully adjustable gas-operated single shock absorber with separate tank, a sophisticated multi-adjustable fork, Ride by Wire “Tri-Map” and Matrix instrument panel with on-board computer – these are the elements that help to make this bike unique.
The Aprilia 750 90° V twin engine represents the current state of the art for this type of engine capacity. The electronic management is the cream of this engine, which uses a second generation Ride by Wire system equipped with triple mapping. The three options – Sport, Touring and Rain – can be selected while actually riding, thanks to a gas closed command on the handlebar; they radically modify the character of the Dorsoduro Factory, offering an aggressive, immediate response in Sport mode, more gentle in Touring mode and extremely safe (even in conditions of poor road-holding) in Rain mode. Thanks to the electronic and mechanical technology used, the Aprilia dual cylinder reaches 92hp at 8,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 82 Nm at 4,500 rpm: values that put the Dorsoduro in direct competition with bikes of a much higher engine capacity.
The new Dorsoduro 750
Everything about this bike has been designed to aid the rider during heavy handling. The agile, light chassis was designed with an eye to ergonomics, so the Dorsoduro Factory is perfect for the traits of any rider, allowing them all to take full advantage, in every situation, of the high limits of a real fun-to-ride bike. The Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 Factory is now also available with a latest generation two-channel ABS system to enhance active safety.
