Aprilia started its Back to Africa project with one goal in mind: To take the Tuareg 660 to the Africa Eco Race and test its might against everything that one of the world's major rally raid events could throw at it. Fast forward to January 2024, and Aprilia's Jacopo Cerutti stood proudly at the top of the 2024 Africa Eco Race podium.
He and teammate Francesco Montanari both took their rally-prepped Aprilia Tuareg 660s to contest one of the world's toughest events. Modifications from the stock bike include an Öhlins by Andreani suspension, an SC-Project titanium exhaust, and a Sprint Filter air filter.
