Aprilia has unveiled the Tuareg Rally at EICMA 2024. As the name suggests, it is a hardcore off-road version of the standard Tuareg 660. The motorcycle gets a bunch of changes to make it more capable. The inspiration for the Tuareg Rally comes from Aprilia’s rally racing motorcycle, which won them the Africa Eco Race in its first attempt.

The handlebar is also taller and fitted with hand guards to protect the levers and the hands in case of a fall. Another change that Aprilia has made is to the oil sump guard, it is now a stronger aluminium unit. The rims are now wrapped with tube-type knobby tyres. Aprilia is also offering a tyre pressure monitoring system as an accessory.

Suspension duties are still performed by KYB units that have a travel of 240 mm but the springs are now stiffer. Aprilia says that the wheels are now stronger so they should handle the abuse better. Cosmetic changes include a Rally replica livery with forks, handlebar and wheels now finished in anodized gold.
