APRILIA
TUAREG RALLY
Based heavily on the Tuareg 660
platform, the all-new Rally model
gets more race-focused styling
compared to the base model,
which retains its standard low
front fender look.
The Tuareg Rally sports a
thicker aluminum skid plate
along with heavy-duty spoked
gold Ergal wheels and tubed
tires with the suspension set
-
ting turned to suit. Styling takes
plenty of cues from past Aprilia
racebikes such as those from
the early days of MotoGP.
The seat is 20mm taller than
the standard model accompa-
nied by a taller handlebar bend.
Newly updated handguards with
metal cores complete the rider
cockpit.
The Tuareg Rally's 659cc
parallel-twin pumps out a
claimed 80 hp and 51.63 lb-ft of
torque and, like many Aprilias
for 2025, gets the new 52mm
throttle body. At the rear, the
Tuareg Rally sees a sporty SC
Project titanium silencer that
helps reduce the bike's weight by
a rather significant 11 pounds,
which is good news for competi
-
tive off-road riding.
The go reaches the rear tire
via a six-speed transmission and
the Rally's electronics include
traction control, engine brake,
cruise control and customizable
riding modes.
This bike is ready to com-
pete in the middleweight ADV
category alongside the likes of
Yamaha's Tenere 700, Honda's
Transalp 750 and Suzuki's
V-Strom 800 DE.
The Tuareg Rally is set to be
available in May of 2025 with an
MSRP of $14,499, $2500 more
than the standard Tuareg 660
model's price of $12,499.
