Aprilia has also taken great care over the design of the Atlantic 125-250 i.e.’s platform, tapering it under the rider’s legs to enable feet to be placed quickly and firmly on the ground at all times.

The roomy under-seat compartment can be supplemented by an optional 45 litre top box that can be fitted easily to the standard luggage rack The luggage rack can also be replaced by a practical passenger backrest.

Chassis

The high strength tubular steel frame incorporates a closed double cradle for maximum torsional rigidity and strength. This extremely rigid and efficient frame gives the Atlantic 125-250 i.e. flawless stability worthy of a much more powerful scooter. The hydraulic fork features 35 mm stanchions and 90 mm wheel travel for an enjoyably precise ride with excellent suspension damping.

The engine-transmission assembly acts as a swingarm and is damped by a double chamber shock absorber. Preload can be adjusted to 5 positions to ensure maximum suspension efficiency whatever the load or road surface. Extended wheel travel (100 mm) also helps smooth out even rough, damaged asphalt. Wheel diameter has been carefully selected to achieve the best possible compromise between agility and stability. The Atlantic 125-250 i.e. is equipped with 13 inch wheels and large tubeless tyres (110/90 at the front and 130/60 at the rear).

In conjunction with the excellent frame, advanced suspension makes the Atlantic 125-250 i.e. extremely stable and intuitive to ride. Even novices will find riding effortless. Wide profile tyres also help the suspension absorb bumps while also guaranteeing safe braking. Braking is another of the strong points of the Atlantic 125-250 i.e.. An integral braking system ensures powerful, safe and controllable braking on all road surfaces. The Atlantic 125-250 i.e. is also fitted with generous discs. The front disc is a 240 mm unit with floating caliper; the rear disc is 190 mm in diameter and features a caliper with three parallel pistons.

Engine
Advanced engine technology is another major plus point on the Atlantic 125-250 i.e.. The latest generation of highly evolved engines deliver above average power with standard-setting elasticity, reduced fuel consumption and minimal emissions, because living in harmony with the environment means polluting as little as possible. The Aprilia Atlantic is homologated to Euro 3 standard in both engine sizes.

Aprilia’s 250 i.e. engine has often been voted the best 250 scooter engine on the market. With a power output of over 21 HP it is also one of the most powerful. Thanks to a four valve cylinder head, electronic fuel injection and an advanced transmission system the 250 i.e. gives you impressive acceleration and a top speed typical of far bigger engines. The Atlantic 250 i.e. is the perfect machine not just for city commuting but for out-of-town touring too.

The 125 cc engine is a latest generation unit too.

The Atlantic 125 is the perfect choice for class B licence holders (under Italian legislation).
