The 660 platform represents the start of a new era for Aprilia.
One defined by lightweight and high-performance motorcycles with an attractive design and unique, unequivocally premium technological content.
It is Aprilia's response to the new generation's demand for easy and fun vehicles capable of being just as thrilling on the daily commute as they are on dynamic rides.
The result is a range of medium-engine bikes that introduce a new conception of sportiness, in line with the expectations of a younger and more knowledgeable market.
Following on the heels of the highly popular RS 660 and Tuono 660, dedicated to street sport riding, this is a true off-road bike.
It bears a name that was introduced by Aprilia in 1985, which subsequently became legendary – a name so evocative it's clear what the bike is all about.
With such a significant history, the Tuareg name expresses a unique set of values: a guarantee of riding quality, performance and fun.
Tuareg 660, an off-road bike par excellence, is also exceptional on the road and on even the longest and most adventurous trips.
It was designed to accompany those seeking freedom – a core value in the culture of the Tuareg people, who identify with the name “imohag”, meaning "free men".
Granting the gift of freedom is Tuareg's real mission.
Developed on the extraordinary mechanical base of the Aprilia 660 twin-cylinder, from the very first sketches it was designed to be mounted in a chassis architecture with a different intended use.
Tuareg 660 was designed, developed and built to be the best combination of single-cylinder enduro bikes and medium-engine capacity adventure bikes.
Two opposing worlds - until now.
Tuareg 660 raises the bar for off-road adventure bike riding.
But at the same time it places its supreme travelling spirit centre stage thanks to its impeccable performance on asphalt, its premium technical content, the performance of its 80 HP twin-cylinder and its reduced weight of just 187 kg without fluids.
