Aprilia Tuareg 660 - Engine Specs 

Talking about the engine of the Aprilia Tuareg 660, it is powered by the same powerful engine found in Aprilia's RS and Tuono 660 models. This unit is a liquid cooled, 659cc, parallel-twin engine that is capable of producing a power output of 80 bhp and 70 Nm of torque. Despite being a twin-cylinder adventure bike, it's relatively light as it weighs 204 kg with a full 18-litre fuel tank. However, its tall seat height of 860mm might make it challenging for shorter riders.

The Tuareg 660 is equipped with fully adjustable USD fork and monoshock suspension from KYB, providing 240mm of wheel travel at both the front and rear. For braking, the Aprilia Tuareg 660 features twin 300mm disc brakes at the front with Brembo callipers and a single 260mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. It rides on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoked wheel setup.
