The Aprilia NA 850 Mana is a unique and innovative motorcycle that debuted in 2007 and was produced until 2011. This sport-touring machine was Aprilia's first foray into the "naked" motorcycle segment, offering a blend of sporty performance, comfortable ergonomics, and practical features. At its core, the Mana boasted a revolutionary 90° V-twin engine with a distinctive 850cc displacement. This powerplant was paired with a groundbreaking "Automatic Progressive Transmission" (APT) system, essentially a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The APT system provided a seamless power delivery, eliminating the need for gear changes, offering both smooth acceleration and effortless cruising. The Mana's design incorporated a lightweight tubular steel frame, a single-sided swingarm, and a distinctive, sculpted bodywork. Other notable features included telescopic forks, a monoshock rear suspension, and powerful Brembo brakes.
The Aprilia NA 850 Mana's innovative approach to motorcycle design garnered praise for its smooth and engaging ride. The CVT transmission provided a unique and effortless riding experience, making it an excellent choice for both long-distance touring and urban commutes. However, the Mana's unique design also attracted criticism from some riders who found the APT system to lack the direct feel and control of a traditional manual gearbox. Nonetheless, the Mana remains a fascinating example of Aprilia's commitment to pushing boundaries in the motorcycle industry. It is a motorcycle that appeals to riders seeking a unique and unconventional riding experience, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and technological innovation.
