At the heart of the 2006 Aprilia Caponord Rally Raid sport touring motorcycle, Aprilia utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 92 HP (67.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 95 Nm (70.1 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 92.2 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Aprilia archive, this model family spans 3 indexed model years from 2004 to 2006, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
