About the Aprilia Caponord 1200

The Aprilia Caponord 1200 was engineered to be the ultimate "Street Adventure" bike. Technically, its centerpiece is the 1197cc 90-degree V-twin engine, which was tuned to provide a massive 125 HP and a linear torque curve ideal for touring. However, the bike’s greatest technical achievement was the Aprilia Dynamic Damping (ADD) system. This semi-active suspension utilized automotive-derived algorithms to adjust the damping in real-time based on road conditions and rider input, providing a "magic carpet" ride regardless of the load. The Caponord 1200 also featured a comprehensive electronics suite (aPRC), including ride-by-wire maps, traction control, and cruise control. The chassis was a modular design, combining a steel trellis with aluminum side plates for the perfect balance of flex and rigidity. This database provides the full technical specifications for the Caponord 1200, including its engine performance, suspension travel, and weight figures. It is a machine that proved Aprilia could lead the world in electronic suspension technology and long-distance comfort.
