Semi-Autodrive mode only allows the rider to change down gear. This
is useful for overtaking at maximum torque revs or when riding down a
hill when engine braking is required.
You can switch from Autodrive to Sequential mode and vice versa at any
time and in any riding conditions. The handlebar gearshift control can be
disabled from the instrument panel.
With this technical solution, the Mana GT 850 adapts perfectly to any type of
road and offers relaxed cruising or exhilarating sports riding depending on the
rider's needs or wishes.
Elegant design and ingenious solutions
Mana GT 850 uses the same technical base as the Mana and shares the
same exclusive and unmistakable Italian design. The original fairing with
adjustable windshield that surrounds the characteristic round headlamp, a
distinctive feature of the Mana range, is practical and elegant.
The 16-litre tank is located under the saddle, in a lower position, to
distribute weight more evenly and lower the bike’s centre of gravity, making it
incredibly light and easy to ride. Its usual place is taken by an illuminated
compartment - lined with slip-proof, scratch-proof material - that can not
only house a flip up helmet, but also contains a housing for your mobile
phone and a 12V socket. To offer a load capacity unheard of in the
motorcycling world.
Like its Naked sister bike, the compartment is opened electrically by a
switch on the handlebar. Opening is controlled by a hydropneumatic damper
that is designed to prevent accidental opening while the bike is in motion. A
manually operated lever under the passenger seat is provided to release the
compartment lid in the event of a flat battery.
Special chassis
The refined chassis on the Aprilia Mana GT 850 guarantees relaxed, safe
handling on all road surfaces. The robust steel tube trellis frame has a
single piece aluminium swingarm that directly controls a laterally-offset shock
absorber that frees precious space for the exhaust pipe in the delicate area
behind the engine which makes the motorcycle very compact and
manageable when changing direction both in town traffic and when out
riding in the hills during the weekend.
On the Mana GT 850 the spring preload and damper rebound can be
adjusted with a knob and has been moved to the outside. It can be easily
accessed for quick and precise adjustments to adapt to your own
particular riding needs and bike load (passenger, luggage, etc.).
