WAVE DISCS AND RADIAL CALLIPERS
Derived directly from racing, the dual 320
mm front and single 240 mm rear wave
discs and 4-piston radial callipers give the
DORSODURO 750 outstanding braking
power in all conditions and situations. The
brake system uses steel braid hosing even
better braking modulability and feedback.
SPECIFIC VERSION WITH CONTINENTAL
2-CHANNEL ABS
Aprilia has developed a specific ABS
system for the DORSODURO 750
and DORSODURO 750 FACTORY in
collaboration with Continental. This is
an innovative two channel system that
manages the front and rear brakes
independently with a sophisticated
electronic control unit monitoring the wheel
speed in real time and specific calibration
for “fun” use. This means that the rider can
exploit the full power of the system and grip
of the tyres with confidence in all conditions:
even the most extreme.

FRAME AND SUSPENSION
Developed and tested by Aprilia’s engineers, the frame of
the DORSODURO 750 and 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, 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.
