Aprilia Tuareg 660 2023

The Aprilia Tuareg 660 is an extremely smooth-running adventure bike. This applies to the linear revving engine, the fine clutch and the low weight of the Italian. It scores particularly well off-road. At the Bosnia Rally, it was able to take on almost everything and was even convincing in crisp off-road terrain. Small weak points, such as an engine that dies too quickly and a screw on the gear lever that is in danger of breaking, can hardly spoil the fun on it. With its powerful travel, the lightweight is interesting for all adventure bike riders who have off-road ambitions but want more electronics than in the purist Yamaha Tenere.

Linear, finely controllable power delivery

Finely controllable clutch

Successful ergonomics, both sitting and standing

Lush, well-functioning electronics package

Good suspension with long travel

Engine has little flywheel mass, tends to die off quickly

rear brake bites a little too hard for loose surfaces

less robust cast aluminium screw on the gear lever as a weak point in the event of falls/crashes
