The Aprilia Tuareg 660 is built on a steel tube frame, with aluminum subframe. The design of this off-road motorcycle is quite simple, emphasizing neatness and practicality. The front of the car is equipped with LED headlights with daytime positioning, a height-adjustable windshield and a 5-inch TFT speedometer.

The Tuareg 660 has a wheelbase of 1,525 mm. The fuel tank has a capacity of 18 liters and a wet weight of 204 kg.

The engine on the Aprilia Tuareg 660 is similar to its “brother” models such as the Aprilia RS 660 and Tuono 660, is sort of 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled, with a capacity of 80 horsepower at 9,250 rpm, maximum torque of 60 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The model has 6-speed gearbox.

Aprilia Tuareg 660 when returning to Vietnam will compete directly with Yamaha Tenere 700 priced at 399 million VND. According to a representative of a Motoplex dealer, the vehicles’s origin of European imports can raise the price of Tuareg 660 to more than 450 million VND, which is more expensive than many Japanese competitors. The goal of reaching Vietnamese customers with Italian models is therefore more difficult.
