Aprilia introduced the Tuareg 660 as a new adventure-oriented model for the 2022 lineup, revealing it at EICMA in late 2021 and then bringing it to market as part of the brand’s 2022 range. It is a distinct modern nameplate, not a trim or a platform code, and it marked Aprilia’s return to the Tuareg name in a contemporary middleweight dual-sport format.
The Tuareg 660 was positioned as a practical off-road-capable motorcycle rather than a pure rally replica. Aprilia framed it around exploration, versatility, and a balance between road and dirt use, building on the company’s long-standing off-road and rally heritage while translating that identity into a more accessible adventure bike. The model also arrived as part of Aprilia’s broader 660-family strategy, sharing the brand’s modern engineering direction with other recent middleweight Aprilia models.
Historically, the Tuareg name carries clear significance for Aprilia enthusiasts because it recalls the company’s earlier off-road machines associated with rally-raid competition and expedition use. The Tuareg 660 revives that spirit in a modern form, but it stands as a separate and much later production era with its own design language and market role. Since it remains in production, there is no confirmed final model year to list.
