2010 Aprilia Mana 850

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.
