The Dorsoduro 900 replaced the 750 for 2017. Aprilia lengthened the stroke of the V90 twin to 896 cc, which gave it more midrange torque and let it meet Euro 4. It was the first Dorsoduro with a full ride-by-wire throttle, and it also got lighter three-spoke wheels, a 41 mm fork and two-channel ABS as standard. It kept the tall, narrow supermoto stance and the steel-and-aluminium frame.
