Details of Aprilia Mana 850

Aprilia Mana 850 Red Edition

The Aprilia Mana 850 is a naked bike manufactured by Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia. The motorcycle incorporates a 90° V-twin engine and an automatic transmission. The Aprilia Mana 850 is one of a small number of motorcycles offered by a major motorcycle manufacturer with an automatic transmission (compare Honda VFR1200F and Honda DN-01 ).

The automatic transmission has three mode settings: Sport, Touring, and Rain. Sport mode provides maximum power, engine braking, and torque; Touring mode scales back the responsiveness and improves fuel savings; Rain mode reduces torque by 25%. The transmission can also be set to Manual and shifted using the standard foot-shift or paddle-shifters mounted on the left grip (this configuration is also used by the Yamaha FJR 1300 AE which features clutch-less shifting but does not have a full automatic mode). The instrument panel features comprehensive gauges including a gear indicator. The Mana 850 is also available as a partially-faired option known as the Mana 850 GT
