Aprilia ETV Mana (Prototype)
Dec 6th, 2001

Aprilia ETV Mana (Prototype)Mana in the Maori language means power, energy - the same force of the elements Aprilia say they have tried to identify in this 'concept bike'.

A new interpretation of the powerful Aprilia twin, proposed in a 'concept' anticipating the trends and demands of the public.

Polished and well blended with the front fairing, the ETV Mana tank is a structurally important element, particularly emphasized by the bike's essentiality.

The two handles in the top part of the tank provide the passenger with a convenient grip, encircling the rider's middle and integrating perfectly with him/her.

The radiator liquid is contained in the front/top right area of the tank, winning further space to the benefit of the 60° V twin engine, fully exposed in all its technological might.

A variable geometry double beam is fitted around the retuned 1,000cc Mille motor which has been tuned to provide 100 horsepower.
