Aprilia Mana 850 GT ABS
VERSATILE AND MULTIFORM, THE APRILIA MANA 850 GT IS THE
MOST COMPLETE MOTORCYCLE ON THE MARKET. INTELLIGENT, INNOVATIVE,
COMFORTABLE WITH A UNIQUE ON-THE-ROAD FEEL THANKS TO ITS
SPORTGEAR TRANSMISSION, IT OFFERS ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF THE MANA
WITH AN EXTENDED RANGE OF USE.
APRILIA MANA GT 850
A completely new motorcycling concept, the result of
technological expertise, the courage to believe in
innovation and be daring which is
Aprilia's hallmark together with attention paid
to motorcyclists' needs and a tendency to look to the
future: Mana 850 is a complete motorcycle, the
new frontier, the missing link in an evolution that makes the
world of motorcycling and its emotions accessible to all types of
user.
Sportgear sequential/automatic transmission,
radial brake callipers, helmet compartment, upside down forks,
Aprilia Mana combines the potential of the motorbike with
an unmatched functional nature and flexibility of use. A
unique bike in the motorcycling world with a potentially endless
number of variations: this is the Aprilia Mana GT
850, the version that extends the proverbial versatility
of the 850 cc produced in Noale even further.
Mana GT 850 is Aprilia's response to a constantly
evolving market which is increasingly aware of mobility
needs, impatient to try out vehicles that satisfy in daily use as
well as on long trips.
The Mana GT version is designed to do just that:
an elegant half-fairing perfectly integrated in the lines
of the bike protects both rider and passenger on long
journeys as well as in daily commuting making the bike ideal for
touring. The adjustable windshield means that
the level of protection can be adjusted to suit your own needs
with a unique level of customisation.
Here are some of the Aprilia Mana GT
850's special features:
-
half-fairing with adjustable
windshield;
-
sportgear transmission: electronically
controlled sequential gearshift with two shift modes: seven
speed manual or Autodrive with three different mappings:
Sport/Touring/Rain;
-
helmet compartment with non-scratch lining for a flip
up helmet, with mobile phone holder, toolkit/glove-box
and 12V power socket;
-
new latest generation 2-channel Continental ABS system
(as standard)
-
lateral shock absorber easily
adjustable with the hand grip in preload and
extension;
-
twin cylinder 90° V engine with four
valves per cylinder, Euro 3
homologated.
-
brakes with radial callipers;
-
43 mm upside down fork;
-
steel trellis frame with single piece aluminium
swingarm;
-
under-seat fuel tank.
With these characteristics, the Mana 850 GT is the most
functional and complete bike on the market.
Innovative motor and transmission
The half-fairing makes the GT version even more unique and lets
you get the very best out of the V2 850-engine
performance with Sportgear transmission. A twin cylinder
engine that with its 76 HP and exceptionally flat torque curve
gives excellent performance already at low revs, in acceleration,
pick-up and at speed, and is the perfect match for the touring
soul of the Mana 850 GT and the motorcyclist's
need for responsiveness.
Intelligent transmission
The primary drive is the focal point of the entire Mana range.
The Sportgear transmission offers the rider a choice of different
driving modes:
-
Sequential mode: The rider decides when to
change gear by using the conventional control on the
pedal or by pressing a switch on the handlebars as
desired. An electronically-controlled servo mechanism
acts on the main pulley which changes the gearshift mode with
seven gear ratios amazingly quickly. Only
during deceleration, if the rider does not manually change
gear, the engine automatically changes down gear using the
Semi-Sequential function and preventing the
minimum RPM threshold from going below the set limit. Another
valuable aid to safe riding.
-
Fully automatic mode (Autodrive): the
sophisticated electronics control everything and the
CVT transmission keeps the engine running at maximum
torque speed for optimum pick-up and acceleration. The
rider can choose from three different mappings:
-
Touring: for those who want a softer power
delivery and minimum fuel consumption;
-
Sport: for maximum performance and quick
acceleration;
-
Rain: on wet or slippery roads in maximum
safety;
Semi-Autodrive mode only allows the rider to
change down gear. This is useful for overtaking at maximum torque
revs or when riding down a hill when engine braking is required.
You can switch from Autodrive to Sequential mode and vice
versa at any time and in any riding conditions. The
handlebar gearshift control can be disabled from the instrument
panel.
With this technical solution, the Mana GT 850
adapts perfectly to any type of road and offers relaxed cruising
or exhilarating sports riding depending on the rider's needs or
wishes.
Elegant design and ingenious solutions
Mana GT 850 uses the same technical base as the
Mana and shares the same exclusive and
unmistakable Italian design. The original fairing with
adjustable windshield that surrounds the characteristic
round headlamp, a distinctive feature of the Mana range, is
practical and elegant.
The 16-litre tank is located under the
saddle, in a lower position, to distribute weight more
evenly and lower the bike’s centre of gravity, making it
incredibly light and easy to ride. Its usual place is
taken by an illuminated compartment - lined with slip-proof,
scratch-proof material - that can not only house a flip up
helmet, but also contains a housing for your mobile phone and a
12V socket. To offer a load capacity unheard of in the
motorcycling world.
Like its Naked sister bike, the compartment is opened
electrically by a switch on the handlebar. Opening is
controlled by a hydropneumatic damper that is designed to prevent
accidental opening while the bike is in motion. A manually
operated lever under the passenger seat is provided to release
the compartment lid in the event of a flat battery.
Special chassis
The refined chassis on the Aprilia Mana
GT 850 guarantees relaxed, safe handling on all road
surfaces. The robust steel tube trellis frame
has a single piece aluminium swingarm that directly controls a
laterally-offset shock absorber that frees
precious space for the exhaust pipe in the delicate area behind
the engine which makes the motorcycle very compact and
manageable when changing direction both in town traffic and when
out riding in the hills during the weekend.
On the Mana GT 850 the spring preload and damper rebound
can be adjusted with a knob and has been moved to the
outside. It can be easily accessed for quick and precise
adjustments to adapt to your own particular riding needs and bike
load (passenger, luggage, etc.).
The 43-mm upside down fork slides easily and has an
optimised set-up that suits the new weight distribution and the
touring nature of this bike. Its 120-mm front wheel
travel allows you to effortlessly tackle all sorts of road
surface and offers the right support even under sport riding
conditions.
Safety first
The Mana GT 850 is the most versatile motorcycle
on the market with the most complete range of technical equipment
that focuses on the concept of safety.
The only one in its category, the efficient
braking system, which has a front system with 320 mm
discs and radial callipers, combined with a
latest generation two-channel Continental ABS
system - fitted as standard - that increases active and
passive riding safety even when braking on difficult road
surfaces, avoiding locking up the brakes as well as improving
braking performance. In fact, on the Mana 850 GT
ABS all riders can fully use the bike’s generous
braking power in perfect safety on any road surface.
APRILIA MANA - MANA ABS
Aprilia MANA represents the utmost
technological evolution applied to a bike. A daring
challenge that only the immense technological skills of
Aprilia could face and win. Aprilia 850
MANA is a bike without equals on the world market, a
unique, highly advanced project. A bike that eliminates
the stress but at the same time knows how to provide great
satisfaction and fun in all riding conditions, from the
city slalom to those roads that allow a sportier style.
Just press a button on the handlebar to enter a whole new
world.
Its revolutionary and electronically managed Sportgear
transmission offers unique riding pleasure: MANA
satisfies every riding style and every type of need.
Three mappings for “Autodrive” transmission
management, or Sequential 7-speed gears; with Aprilia
MANA it's literally impossible not to find the
configuration best suited to the specific traffic and/or riding
conditions, or to your own needs. Whether you're
travelling in the city or on a winding road,
MANA always offers the right degree of
exuberance and the same handling pleasure. In any situation,
every rider - even the most demanding - will find the right
solution for his own riding style, always obtaining the maximum
power and discovering a previously unimagined potential.
The Euro 3 90° V twin engine is the ideal
partner for this type of transmission. Compact, sparkling, clean.
The power and torque ensure excellent performance levels,
especially in acceleration (the Mana really takes off at the
traffic lights). And all this with the utmost riding
simplicity, bringing the Mana performance within everyone's
reach. The technology on the Aprilia
850 MANA is user-friendly, to
make life easier. There's no clutch lever because
everything is electronically managed, leaving the rider to fully
enjoy the riding experience. The sequential transmission
is activated with the classic pedal command or, alternatively,
via the command on the handlebar.
Like with all Aprilia vehicles, the painstaking
chassis design guarantees top class handling. The tubular frame
of the chassis ensures great sturdiness and torsional rigidity.
The single piece aluminium swingarm and advanced suspension
system mean that Mana is a bike to satisfy even
the most demanding rider. The high quality braking
system increases the active safety level, thanks to
excellent stopping distances.
