Aprilia’s long-awaited return to the adventure/dual-sport category paid off when the firm introduced the 2022 Tuareg 660. The middleweight adventurer may have lifted its styling from the Tuareg 600 Wind of the '80s and '90s and repurposed the 660 parallel-twin powering the RS 660 and Tuono 660, but the Noale factory specially prepared the new ADV for the trail.
A 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear hoop along with a fully modern electronic suite suit various levels of tough terrain, and Aprilia partnered with Enduro Republic to show off the 660’s dirt prowess with the Tuareg Experience. Based in Piacenza, Italy, the off-road school will offer courses at its Grazzano Visconti facility and guided tours on the local Emilia Romagna trails. Each participant will pilot Aprilia’s latest adventure bike.
