User manual APRILIA TUONO BROCHURE 2009

[. . . ] The nose fairing has been developed in the wind tunnel and combines an enviably aggressive look with a superior level of protection. The shape of the nose fairing helps improve stability at high speeds, working in conjunctionwith the spoilers on the sides of the frame. The rider's seating position is decidedly race-oriented, and conceived to ensure absolute control over the front end without fatigue, assisting concentration and more effective handling. The sleek tail tapers upwards and incorporates fully integrated direction indicators, contributing to perfect aerodynamics and giving the bike a mean, aggressive look. [. . . ] Come complete with a certificate of conformity, allowing you to circulate freely on public roads. Maximum performance can be achieved quickly and easily by removing the DB killer. FULLY ADJUSTABLE ÖHLINS STAINLESS STEEL AND ÖHLINS ALUMINIUM REAR SHOCK ABSORBER KITS Specially designed for racing use. These fully adjustable race tech shock absorbers allow you to find exactly the right setup for any riding conditions. The hydraulic damping system offers a wide range of adjustments for both compression and rebound. Spring preload and unit length are fully adjustable too. Every component in the lamellar damping pack and external adjustment systems has been developed, tested and calibrated on road and track to achieve perfect control over the hydraulics. The aluminium version reduces your bike's overall weight by a further 450 grams. CARBON FIBRE PARTS Race ready lightness and prestige even on the road. These body parts are manufactured in clear varnished carbon fibre and give an average reduction in weight of 45% compared to the standard parts they replace. All parts have been safety tested and homologated by TÜV and can therefore be used on the road as well as on the racetrack. ÖHLINS ADJUSTABLE STEERING DAMPER KIT Unbeatable adjustment and shimmy control. Fits across the top yoke on a single-piece bracket. Provides an ample range of adjustments to customise steering response and absorb the shimmy that sets in at certain speeds and over rough ground. Twin chamber pressurised hydraulics prevent air from entering the damper and ensure consistently effective control over the steering. FORGED ALUMINIUM WHEELS Maximum performance on the track and on the road. Thanks to the use of lightweight material and advanced forging technology, these special wheels (front and rear) help reduce the energy required to move and steer your bike. The result is improved handling on road and track alike. Less weight means less inertia and a reduction in the gyroscopic forces that affect a bike's equilibrium and handling. ERGAL REVERSE PATTERN GEARSHIFTER For optimised performance on the racetrack. Made in polished Ergal, and CAD/CAM machined from a solid blank. Easy to fit and to adjust thanks to uniball control linkages. [. . . ] TUONO FACTORY: double floating disc in stainless steel, Ø 320 mm.
