Aprilia Pegaso motorcycles

In the history of motorcycling, no name has been more apt for a machine made to satisfy its rider need for freedom. In Greek legend, Pegasus was the winged horse, a symbol of power and freedom.
 
 
Ever since it was introduced, the Aprilia Pegaso has perfectly embodied the universal motorcycle concept. Cleverly designed and attractively styled, the Pegaso has always been packed with advanced technology and has always satisfied needs as diverse as urban mobility and long distance touring. And no matter how you use the Pegaso, enjoyment is guaranteed, in keeping with Aprilia philosophy that biking should be fun.
 
 
The APRILIA PEGASO 650 ENDURO continues the success story that began over 12 years ago, and has since taken the Pegaso to the top of the international sales charts, establishing it as the world best 650 cc enduro.
 
 
The latest Pegaso is a better all-round motorcycle than ever before. The PEGASO 650 ENDURO in particular is better at long range touring, thanks to superior comfort, an advanced new engine and a large number of innovations aimed at improving versatility. And all this has been achieved without affecting the bike great autonomy and simple, easy-riding characteristics; characteristics that have made the Pegaso such a tremendous success over the years.
 
 
Just as the original Pegaso established new records for its class, the new PEGASO 650 ENDURO sets the pace for single cylinder motorcycle technology. It boasts a modern, four valve, dry sump engine with electronic fuel injection and a 44 mm throttle body, a superbly strong diamond shaped steel frame, spoke wheels with medium-knobbly tyres for great handling on and off the road, and many more advanced features.
 
 
Like all Aprilia motorcycles, the Pegaso Enduro is designed according to the ctive riding?concept. Agile, dynamic, fast, and extremely satisfying to ride, it fulfils all your needs for mobility and adventure too. The Pegaso Enduro is more than able to take you and your passenger to the four corners of the globe.
 
 
Thanks to a total steering angle of 70?(35?35?, the new Pegaso 650 Enduro is amazingly agile around town, and the perfect companion for day to day commuting. On the other hand, its superior comfort, and the two-position adjustable windshield fitted as standard, enable the Pegaso 650 Enduro to double up as an unstoppable long distance tourer, over all sorts of terrain.
 
 
STYLING
 
Like its sister bike, the Pegaso Strada, the dynamically styled Enduro makes you want to ride it the moment you see it. With its unmistakably aggressive and eye-catching looks, this is a motorcycle made to tackle any journey in style. The Pegaso 650 Enduro is so unmistakably Aprilia in look and feel, you just can help standing out from the crowd.
 
 
ENGINE
 
The liquid cooled, four valve, single cylinder engine is fuelled by an advanced electronic injection system, specially designed for sparkling performance, miserly fuel consumption and, of course, environmentally friendly emissions. The engine delivers power in a way that translates into exceptional rideability under all conditions.
 
 
The Pegaso engine uses Aprilia acclaimed dry sump lubrication system. This new Aprilia single cylinder power unit stands out for its compact design and extremely advanced specifications. Powerful and flexible, it boasts a fantastic torque curve that gives the Aprilia Pegaso 650 Enduro the muscle you need to come out on top in all conditions.
 
 
The new Pegaso 650 Enduro respects the environment too. Like all Aprilia motorcycles, it incorporates the latest clean technology, because fun and performance should not damage the environment. The catalytic converter in the exhaust system cuts emissions to the threshold of the current Euro 3 standard.
 
 
Other important characteristics of this sophisticated engine include a vibration damping counter-shaft for improved comfort and a single, 44 mm throttle body with the latest generation fine spray injector.
 
 
CHASSIS
 
The Pegaso 650 Enduro compact, single beam steel frame is the perfect backbone for this all-round enduro. The frame is amazingly light yet offers unrivalled rigidity and excellent access for mechanical maintenance.
 
 
A great deal of care has gone into calibrating the suspension too. As a result the suspension system combines effective damping and fantastic comfort. The new Pegaso 650 Enduro robust fork has the thickest stanchions in its class (45 mm) and permits a wheel travel of 170 mm. The result is a perfect balance between easy riding, controlled braking and effective damping over rough ground.
 
 
The gas-filled Sachs monoshock at the rear is adjustable in rebound and spring preload, and is calibrated for maximum comfort and traction on all surfaces without penalising riding satisfaction. Rear wheel travel is also 170 mm.
 
 
The spoke aluminium wheels are a classic enduro feature. In keeping with proven off-road motorcycling technology, the Pegaso 650 Enduro is equipped with a 19 inch front wheel, perfect for easy control over rough ground and precision steering on the tarmac.
 
 
Seat height has been kept at only 820 mm to make the Pegaso 650 Enduro really easy to ride. Riders of all statures, including lady riders, will find it easy to get their feet firmly on the ground. The seat is designed for maximum control over all types of terrain, without ignoring the needs for rider and passenger comfort on long road journeys. For taller riders who want a more long-legged seating position, a higher seat (+ 40 mm) is available as an optional accessory.
