RIDE REVIEW I 2026 APRILIA TUAREG 660 RALLY
Tuareg Rally can take big hits with
control and does a good job resist-
ing bottoming. Surprisingly, it still
feels decent on the road, but if you
ride a lot more pavement than dirt,
you will probably be happier with the
standard Tuareg. We couldn't tell
the difference between the narrower
rims, but this is a common modi

road-focused ADV tires that will do
The Tuareg Rally
uses stiffer, linear-
rate fork and
shock springs and
different valving to
improve off-road
performance. The
Rally soaks up jumps
and rough terrain
very well.
The Rally uses taller
handlebars that don't
sweep back as much as
the standard bars on
the Tuareg and most
other ADV bikes.
The result is a more
comfortable ride
when standing
and tackling
obstacles.
