Discover the most innovative and exclusive technology

The ETV 1000 Caponord is the first trail bike with variable geometry aluminium alloy double beam perimeter frame (Double Wave Aluminium Beam). Two characteristics which guarantee the highest torsional rigidity in its class.
But that’s not all. The swingarm is also in aluminium and magnesium alloy. The central section is cold-cast and the arms and terminals forged to guarantee the best possible relationship between lightness and rigidity.
The front suspension with 50 mm diameter sleeves is the same as used in racing enduros, but the calibration has been optimised to guarantee maximum comfort both on roads and motorways and on tracks and trails.
The rear suspension is multi-adjustable with a convenient external knob to adapt the trim of the bike not just to all types of terrain, but also to all carrying conditions, whether alone or with a passenger, with or without bags.

The ETV 1000 Caponord is fitted as standard with innovative and exclusive Tubeless Spoke Rims, enabling tubeless tyres to be used, yet one more advantage in terms of safety. In addition, the particular spoke arrangement together with the exclusive hollow hubs and large diameter wheel spindles provide a high level of torsional rigidity and thus stability during cornering, even at high speeds.

Exclusive, complete and specially designed for the demands of touring, the dashboard has a multifunction digital panel indicating time, ambient temperature, the temperature of water in the cooling circuit and level of fuel. The word "service" also appears when the bike needs servicing
