The Tuscany Tibet was the travel-ready version of the 650ie, aimed at riders heading for long gravel routes rather than the daily commute. Aprilia left the engine alone but added a half fairing with a taller screen, a higher seat, longer-travel suspension with a new rear shock that lifts the tail by about 25 mm, a handlebar crossbar for navigation gear and an aluminium top box. It rolled out on dual-purpose Metzeler Sahara tyres and was pitched as an affordable first step into adventure touring.
