Описание Aprilia ETV 1200 Caponord 2014
Описание мотоцикла Aprilia ETV 1200 Caponord 2014 находится в очереди на публикацию статьи. Анонс: Сегодня чуть ли не под каждый нарождающийся на свет мотоцикл маркетологи стремятся выкроить свою нишу. Тот — дорожный спорт, этот — прогулочный эндуро. А вот к какому классу отнести мотоцикл, в котором всего понемногу? Хороший байк должен обладать надежным двигателем, иметь удобную эргономику и простое управление …
Aprilia ETV 1200 Caponord не продающийся в России мотоцикл оснащенный двигателем довольно большой мощности 125лс. Несмотря на то, что хорошие модели мотоциклов отличаются весьма солидной ценой, а сезон их использования относительно короткий, рынок мототехники стремительно развивается. А если верить словам дилеров, то некоторые модели недавно выпущенных мотоциклов в начале сезона расходятся как горячие пирожки, и привезенных в Россию моделей явно не хватает для полного удовлетворения потребительского спроса.
Мотоцикл давно перестал быть альтернативой автомобиля, и забыты те времена, когда эту технику покупали только потому, что не хватало денег на полноценный автомобиль. Сейчас двухколесные транспортные средства во многих случаях можно назвать чудесами техники, и их стоимость может сравниваться с ценой на престижные автомобили.
Многие люди стали покупать мотоциклы для увлечений, так как езда на них или даже коллекционирование стали хорошим развлечением для многих людей. Многие мотоциклы, например Aprilia ETV 1200 Caponord технические характеристики которого позволяют назвать модель престижной маркой, пользуются спросом как у начинающих, так и у опытных мотоциклистов.
Мотоциклы, имеющие объем двигателя 1197 cc / 73.0 cu in куб. см., появились в результате длительного труда изобретателей, стремившихся создать модель, не уступающую по характеристикам другим вариантам мотоцикла. В некоторых случаях эти модели не только не уступают, но и опережают другие мотоциклы, так как имеют минимальный расход топлива и прочие отличные параметры.
Мото с объемом двигателя более 400 кб. см, к которым относится Aprilia ETV 1200 Caponord — это категория мотоциклов просто не может претендовать на звание «мотоцикла для новичка». Напротив это уже серьезная техника, требующая определенного управления мото-техникой с меньшим объемом двигателя. Да, она привлекает больше внимания, она самая красивая, быстрая, интересная и здесь есть огромный выбор моделей. Но с ростом мощности неизбежно вырастает и вес мотоцикла. В этом классе вы вряд ли найдете мотоциклы легче 180 кг, только если это не мотоциклы самых новых моделей.
The competition
Here is where things start to get a little tricky. The Caponord 1200, at $15,499, competes mainly with bikes like the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and Ducati Multistrada, given its obvious on-road bias. Obviously, anything in the adventure-touring segment is going to compete on some level, as most of them are relegated to on-road duty the vast majority of the time, but for comparison purposes I looked mostly at other bikes that were not designed with features for off-pavement use.
The Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Adventure is going to come in at the bottom end of the price range at $13,999. While it does come with hard panniers, hand guards, traction control, and ABS, it’s down 25 horsepower, eight foot-pounds of torque, and doesn’t have heated grips, different fuel maps, cruise control, or Italian prestige.
C’mon, just one more run. Photo by Sean MacDonald.
On the other hand, there is the Ducati Multistrada, which retails for $17,695. It makes 160 horsepower, 100 foot-pounds of torque, and doesn’t come with things like hard panniers, heated grips, or cruise control. Making more power and coming in about 50 pounds lighter, the Duc is a better bike for the sport purists.
I would also put the KTM 1190 Adventure (non R) in the ring with the Caponord. Most people think of the KTM as an off-road machine, but the non R has active suspension, makes 150 horsepower and 92 foot-pounds of torque, and retails for $16,999. On paper, it weighs the same as the Ducati, but on the road it feels much lighter. It’s much narrower than the other two and, when John and I rode up Palomar, was much better in the twisties than the Capo.
Overall rating
4 out of 5 (4/5)
As the biking audience matures, demand continues to increase for adventure bikes like this 2013-2017 Aprilia Caponord 1200.
Early in 2012 Triumph launched its new Explorer which took the coveted MCN road test class crown. But since then Ducati has launched its new ‘skyhook’ Multistrada, the first to come with true semi-active suspension, while both KTM and BMW have introduced new models which have grabbed the MCN headlines.

KTM’s all-new Adventure came in two guises – a standard, 19-inch front wheel model and the more off-road biased ‘R’ with a 21-inch front wheel.
BMW, meanwhile, also launched a new R1200GS – its most important bike in recent years, they admit – which also comes with semi-active suspension amongst a host of updates. Even Triumph has another entrant with their tweaked Tiger Sport.
All the while, there’s been one more newcomer in the background. Until now, Aprilia’s new Caponord has gone almost unnoticed – which is a mystery considering its impressive spec.
On paper it appears formidable, capable of being the leading bike in this segment, especially when we consider price. The full spec ‘Travel Pack’ version, which includes the ADD, Aprilia Dynamic Damping (semi-active suspension), is £3000 less than the Ducati equivalent and also cheaper than a comparable BMW GS.
Not only that, but the Aprilia’s suspension is more advanced than both the Ducati and BMW, and our short test ride showed it’s very impressive, especially when ridden two-up. I’m really taken aback by how good the new semi-active suspension is. Even in cold, very wet conditions, the suspension changes were noticeable.
Unlike the Ducati and BMW systems, Aprilia’s semi-active suspension, ADD, adjusts pre-load on the rear automatically. If you add a pillion into the mix the system measures the extra weight, then calculates and compensates by adding pre-load. It’s so clever it will actually reduce the pre-load as weight is reduced when you burn fuel from the large 24-litre petrol tank. If your other half loves shopping for shoes and sneaks a few pairs into the panniers without you noticing, the Caponord will detect the extra weight, recalculate and add more pre-load if required. How clever is that?
Like the BMW and Ducati, the Aprilia system also adjusts compression and rebound damping on the move to improve comfort. However, if you start riding aggressively the system changes the suspension to compensate and to make the ride sportier. It knows you are riding aggressively by the amount of torque requested, throttle position, speed, rpm, wheel speed, and gear. It’s all very clever – and it works. This is no gimmick.

The bike
The 2015 Aprilia Caponord marks the return of the platform after Aprilia sunset the ETV 1000 CapoNord in 2007. Instead of borrowing the engine from the V4 range (Tuono or RSV4), the Caponord gets a 1,197 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine similar to that found in the Dorsoduro 1200. Aprilia says the engine and electronics are tuned for more mid-range power, which is aided by including 52 mm throttle bodies instead of the 57 mm ones found in the Dorso. The Caponord makes a (claimed) 125 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 84.6 foot-pounds of torque at 6,800 rpm.
Power delivery is modified through three riding modes: Sport, Touring, and Rain. I preferred Touring mode most of the time, as it offered full power, but smoothed out the delivery slightly. Sport was slightly twitchy, although not so much that it made it unusable, as is the case with many bikes with a sport mode. Rain mode limits the power to 100 horsepower and smooths the power delivery even further.
The Capo’s cockpit is quite roomy. Photo by Sean MacDonald.
The Caponord also uses the same Aprilia Traction Control (ATC) as the RSV4, though it does not have wheelie or launch control. If you’re thinking wheelie control and traction control are similar, keep in mind that wheelie control slightly alters fueling to keep you from looping a wheelie, while traction control is going to chop fueling altogether and end them as quickly as they start. If you want to wheelie, turn ATC off. The three setting system works well, though I found ATC 3 (the most intrusive) activated a little too easily for my taste – even in the wet.

Front suspension is handled by a 43 mm Sachs inverted fork while the rear gets a Sachs dynamic monoshock absorber. The Aprilia Caponord is fitted with Aprilia Dynamic Dampening (ADD), which pairs a fully active rear suspension with a semi-active front fork to modify the settings automatically as you ride. The system measures the weight of the load, wheel speed, throttle and brake position, and input from sensors on the fork and swingarm to set rebound and compression damping up front and rebound, compression, and spring preload in the rear. Or, if you’re unhappy with how the system is setting the suspension for you, you can lock it in one of four combinations of rider, passenger, and luggage.
Stopping power is delivered through two 320 mm floating discs up front, which are paired with Brembo monoblock four-piston radially mounted calipers fed through a steel-braided brake line. The rear gets a 240 mm disc mated to a Brembo single-piston caliper and also gets a steel-braided brake line. The Caponord also comes with two-channel ABS as standard.
The U.S. market only gets the Travel Pack edition of the Caponord, which comes completely kitted out with a manually adjustable windscreen, hand guards, grip warmers, 29-liter hard panniers, and cruise control. For those of you in colder climates, rest assured that the bike comes with a 690-watt alternator that can easily power any and all of your heated gear and electronic devices.
It may not look pretty, but it sure sounds pretty. Photo by Sean MacDonald.
The Caponord 1200 is fit with 17-inch Dunlop Qualifier tires, which should be a pretty clear statement that Aprilia is not trying to make this version of the Caponord off-road-capable.
История создания
Aprilia RS 125 был создан на основе AF1. Самая первая выпущенная модель этого мотоцикла называлась Extrema с добавлением маркировки «R». Внутри был установлен 34-х сильный мотор Rotax 123 с регулируемой системой зажигания. На переднее колесо была установлена телескопическая вилка с гидравликой. Сзади настраиваемый амортизатор от производителя Sachs. RS 125 получила тормозную систему из легендарной коллекции компании Brembo.
Первое за что полюбили байк фанаты компании – агрессивный вид. Сейчас он носит звание самого красивого мотоцикла. С момента первого выпуска дизайн пережил множество изменений не только во внешнем виде. Была доработана система зажигания и установлена тормозная система от фирмы Grimeca.
Самые большие доработки Aprilia RS 125, технические характеристики которой незначительно увеличились, завершились в 2006 году. Выпущенная в то время модель до сих пор является самой популярной из линейки. Вот список основных изменений в байке:
- с мотогонок GP были взяты алюминиевый каркас и задняя подвеска;
- перевернутая телескопическая вилка;
- радиальные тормозные суппорты с четырехпоршневой системой;
- для схожести с легендарной моделью RSV 1000R, на его подобии, были изготовлены ветровое стекло, диски, пластиковые обтекатели и хвостовая часть;
- информативная панель приборов;
- закругленная выхлопная система.
Поворотная функция подножки
Пружина удерживает подножку в её центральном (нейтральном) положении и обеспечивает оптимальное сопротивление и амортизацию во время поворота подножки. При нажиме вперед или назад подножка поворачивается на 20° плавно и предсказуемо. Когда давление уменьшается, подножка сразу возвращается в свое центральное положение. Пружинная работа подножек Pivot Pegz также обеспечивает ценную обратную силовую связь для райдера и помогает вернуть его ноги в центральное положение.
Накопленный опыт компании Pivot Pegz и многочисленные тесты показывают, что подпружиненный поворотный механизм является оптимальным, однако подножки Pivot Pegz можно использоваться и без пружины. Для этого достаточно разобрать несложную конструкцию подножки, вынуть пружину, и собрать подножку снова.
Повороты подножки Pivot Pegz вперед и назад ограничены оптимизированным диапазоном 20° вперед и 20° назад. Диапазон поворота был определен путем всесторонней оценки как движения водителя, так и движения мотоцикла во многих стилях езды.

It knows you are riding aggressively by the amount of torque requested, throttle position, speed, rpm, wheel speed, and gear. It’s all very clever – and it works. This is no gimmick.
Unfortunately, we had very poor weather during our test in Sardinia including torrential rain with rivers running across the road in places (see video on here). The result of that is that I can’t tell you how the Aprilia suspension will perform in the dry, riding aggressively with big lean angles.
However, in the wet the ride quality was very impressive. The comfort is excellent – it’s more like a luxury touring model than a ‘Street Enduro’ as Aprilia likes to call its new bike. Speed humps, road imperfections and small potholes almost disappear, to the point that it’s almost surreal. Even deliberately hitting potholes at speed didn’t jolt the suspension or cause any discomfort.
Around town, small speed humps were taken at 30mph and were hardly noticeable with the active suspension working overtime. This was amplified further with a pillion – gliding over small speed humps and potholes as if they weren’t there. There would be a slight jolt through the bars in very extreme cases, but then the rear would follow and simply glide over. There was no jolting, no bucking, it was very smooth, level and stable.
In short, the Caponord is one of the most impressive bikes I’ve ever ridden in terms of comfort and ride quality. It feels like the rear is on a magic carpet of smoothness. Even slowly dropping off a kerb didn’t cause any discomfort. You’ll never have a pillion complain again – well, maybe not. It’s just a shame we didn’t get to push the limits of the suspension in the dry.
The front 43mm Sachs forks are also semi-active – constantly changing the compression and rebound damping but not pre-load, which is conventionally pre-set by the rider. The amount of adjustment compared to the standard model is huge. The ADD system can have more than seven times more adjustment in compression and rebound and, remember, it only takes a fraction of a second to change from maximum to minimum.
Again, it was a shame the conditions were so poor because we couldn’t really test the front suspension to the maximum. You can feel the front react to road imperfections like the rear, but it doesn’t have that magic carpet feel – you still get a small jolt in extreme circumstances. However, it remains mightily impressive.
Caponord 1200 lowlights
The handlebars are extremely wide (40 inches) and the angle of the grips made my wrists hurt after extended amounts of time on the freeway. Wide bars can be nice for leverage on a bike, but sometimes the fact that they’re really big is indicative of problems elsewhere. In this case, they’re needed to help steer a bike that doesn’t hide its weight particularly well.
The “Sport” throttle map is a little too twitchy, especially between off and on throttle. With that much power and torque, the last thing you want is abrupt changes in fueling when you’re trying to hustle up a hill.
Not the most natural button layout I’ve used. Photo by Sean MacDonald.
Fuel economy comes in at about 33 mpg. With its 6.3-gallon tank, you’ll still get usable range, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re more into the touring part of sport-touring.
The cruise control works, but is awkward to set and doesn’t allow you to make minor changes to your speed like you can in a car or on the baggers I rode to Washington. You have to hold the button in for a few seconds to turn the system on and then for about a second to activate, which never feels quite natural, since the button is on the throttle side. If traffic changes speeds slightly, you have to disengage the system and then re-engage it at the desired speed, instead of being able to slightly slow or increase your speed.
