Engineered by Aprilia for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2021 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 utilizes a 896.1 cc (54.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95.2 HP (69.5 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 90 Nm (66.4 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 106.2 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Dorsoduro 900 measures 212 kg (467 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.45 HP/kg (2.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 870 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,515 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 214 km (133 miles) between fill-ups.
