Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200: giant supermoto gets traction control

The most exciting thing about the new Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 isn’t its new 136bhp 1200cc 90° v-twin that we’re sure-as-hell going to see in future Aprilias, but instead the debut of Aprilia Traction Control, that we’re also going to see in new models. Oh yeah, since we exclusively revealed the Dorso 12 back in August, the only new details this official one-image release brings are power and torque figures: 136bhp and 85lb/ft. Remember, Aprilia USA doesn’t plan to import the 1200 into North America.
