2018 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Aprilia for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2018 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack relies on a 1197 cc (73 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 114 Nm (84.1 lb-ft) at 6,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 104.4 HP per liter and a 1,450 rpm working window between peak torque (6,800 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,565 mm (61.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Within MotoLibrary's Aprilia archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2015 to 2018, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
