AFTER REVOLUTIONISING THE MOTORCYCLE WORLD WITH THE
ELECTRONIC GEARBOX INTRODUCED ON THE MANA 850, APRILIA
NOW SETS NEW STANDARDS FOR COMFORT AND PROTECTION WITH
MANA GT 850: TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF A TOTALLY UNIQUE
CONCEPT OF MOTORCYCLING.
How would you like to sweep through breathtaking bends or devour
mile after mile of motorway with nothing to worry about other than
enjoying the experience? Or what about carving through city traffic and
blasting away from the lights with the same exhilarating ease?
Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 open up a whole new world of excitement
thanks to Aprilia technology and design.
Enjoyment, easy ridability, comfort and safety: everything you have
ever wanted from a bike and more, answering your dreams as well as
your everyday needs. The electronically controlled gearbox adapts to
cater for all possible conditions and riding styles perfectly. The intuitive
chassis architecture ensures total precision and effectiveness. The helmet
compartment offers unparalleled load capacity. Dual channel ABS is a
guarantee of total safety. While the exclusive adjustable windscreen on the
GT version provides superior protection. Mana GT 850 and Mana 850: two
personalities, infinite emotion.

ELECTRONIC
TRANSMISSION.
Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 share the same innovative engine designed and developed
by the Aprilia Research and Development Division to make the most of the revolutionary
qualities of the Sportgear® electronically controlled transmission. This radical innovation
replaces the conventional gearbox and offers the rider a choice between Sequential shift
mode and Autodrive mode, which offers three maps to suit different riding styles and
engine needs.
The 90° V architecture is the most effective solution for achieving class beating performance:
839.3 cc producing 76.1 bhp at the crankshaft, with 7.45 kgm of torque available at incredibly
low engine speeds (just 5,000 rpm). The 4 valve per cylinder timing layout with a single
overhead camshaft is exceptionally effective and also simplifies maintenance. In addition to
the transmission, the injection system is also managed by a sophisticated electronic system to
optimise performance and reduce emissions. The stainless steel exhaust system with catalytic
converter and lambda probe (Euro 3) also contributes to the environmental credentials of the
engine.
LESS STRESS
Select between Sequential and Autodrive
modes with a simple press of a button.
The rider can select between two different
modes at any time: 7-speed, rapid selection
Sequential mode, just like an F1 racing car, or
Autodrive mode, which makes maximum torque
available at all times for optimised pickup and
acceleration.

CHOOSE YOUR
STYLE.
MATRIX INSTRUMENT PANEL
The button on the left hand handlebar grip puts the multiple
functions of the analogue-digital instrument panel at your
fingertip. The elegant and sporty instrument panel also has its
own dedicated self-diagnostic memory. The LED backlighting -
white for the analogue area and red for the digital display - has
three different brightness settings to ensure the data (from the
CAN link) is perfectly readable in all conditions.
Comfortably relaxed or exhilarating and sporty? With the Mana GT 850 and Mana 850, a
simple press of the button on the handlebar changes the way you experience your bike.
One touch is all that it takes to choose between the comfort and enjoyment of AUTODRIVE
mode, with three different maps - Touring, Sport and Rain - to tailor performance even further to
suit all road types and conditions, and the exhilarating sportiness of SEQUENTIAL mode, with
gears selectable either via the conventional foot lever or with the intuitive electronic control on
the handlebar.
GEAR MODE CONTROL
Pressing the button on the right hand handlebar grip at any
time selects between AUTODRIVE and SEQUENTIAL
transmission modes.
Autodrive Mode: completely automatic.
In Autodrive mode, the electronic transmission management system takes care of
everything, making maximum torque and maximum acceleration available at all times.
There are also 3 different maps to choose from:
• TOURING for relaxed long distance journeys
• SPORT for tackling the tarmac with a vengeance
• RAIN for maximum safety even in slippery conditions
For confident overtaking or to exploit engine braking when riding down mountain roads, the
transmission has another trick up its sleeve: Semi-Autodrive mode, selectable at any time
by downshifting with the foot lever or handlebar shift control.
Sequential Mode.
Sequential mode gives you total control over the
gearbox, letting you select between 7 speeds
with incredible speed and precision: bend after
bend, traffic light after traffic light In
Semi-Sequential mode, if the rider does
not manually change gear, the transmission
downshifts automatically to prevent engine
speed from falling below the predetermined
minimum threshold.

ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY.
A RIGID, COMPACT FRAME
The frame of the Mana GT 850 and Mana 850 was
developed in parallel with the engine for total symbiosis
between the chassis and the powerplant. Its tubular steel
trellis structure ensures benchmark levels of rigidity to
suit the innovative characteristics of the transmission and
the exhilarating performance of the engine, resulting in
an intuitive ride and remarkable precision in the bends.
All of this in an extremely compact package: another
masterpiece of motorcycle engineering, in true Aprilia
tradition.
BRAKES WITH RADIAL CALLIPERS
Even the brake system expresses a
degree of technological sophistication
worthy of a much more expensive
motorcycle. The front brake boasts
four-piston radial callipers stopping a
pair of floating discs with full 320 mm
in diameter and controlled by a
hydraulic pump with integrated
reservoir: a race-derived solution
offering superior safety in all conditions.
Completing the system is a 260-mm
rear disc brake.
SUSPENSION WITH ADJUSTABLE SIDE-MOUNTED SHOCK ABSORBER
Technical perfectionism and obsessive attention to detail are even evident in the suspension. The upside down fork with 43-mm
stanchions offers superbly effective and progressive damping action. The adjustable side-mounted shock absorber, linked
directly to the monolithic aluminium swingarm, has made a shorter wheelbase possible, for greater manoeuvrability. Wheel
travel is 120 mm at the front and 125 mm at the rear: the ideal values for tackling the whole spectrum of road conditions, from
cobbled city streets to mountain switchbacks. On the Mana GT 850, the rear shock absorber is equipped with an adjustment
dial as standard, for finding the perfect setup to cater for the additional weight of a passenger or luggage for longer journeys
even more quickly and easily.
DUAL CHANNEL ABS
Developed specifically for the Mana GT 850 and Mana 850, the
sophisticated dual channel ABS further enhances the active
and passive safety of the bike. This system, which lets the rider
make full use of the power of the oversized brake system, even
in unforeseen situations and in difficult or treacherous conditions,
such as with a wet road surface, is already offered as standard on
the Mana GT 850!
