Aprilia has announced a coast-to-coast tour to showcase the capabilities of the new Caponord 1200 ABS Travel Pack. Beginning this Thursday, May 22, and running through through July 5, at one of Aprilia USA’s 43 participating dealerships, licensed riders can throw a leg over the Caponord and experience all that Aprilia’s latest adventure-tourer has to offer.

The tour kicks off its west coast leg at GP Bikes in San Diego, CA and east coast leg in Belleville, New Jersey at Motorcycle Mall. You can find all the tour dates below, with full routing and additional information available at http://www.apriliausa.com/demotour.

The Caponord 1200 ABS Travel Pack is unique in its segment thanks to the introduction of Aprilia Dynamic Damping, the semi-active suspension system covered by four exclusive patents. Together with Ride-By-Wire multi-map accelerator, cruise control, adjustable traction control, as well as two-channel ABS, and standard equipment such as panniers and hand guards, the Aprilia Caponord 1200 brings a plethora of technology to the sport-adventure-touring game. The Caponord demo units will also feature the new Aprilia Multimedia Platform accessory, connecting each bike through the AMP iPhone app via Bluetooth, and allowing a rider’s phone to display and actively monitor the Caponord’s performance data. It’s a neat feature that gives detailed information on exactly what the bike is doing underneath you.
