For riders who view pavement as merely the connection between trails, the Tuareg 660 Rally takes everything brilliant about the standard Tuareg and dials it up for serious off-road performance. This is a factory rally bike for the road—complete with heavy-duty spoked wheels, specialized suspension, and components that can handle abuse that would make a standard adventure bike weep.
The Rally shares its 659cc parallel twin with the standard Tuareg—80 HP and 70 Nm of torque—but that’s where the similarities end. The engine performance is identical, but how it reaches the ground is completely different. The off-road tuned suspension, knobby-tire-ready wheels, and rally-specific components transform this into a machine that’s most at home when the pavement ends.
The same 18-liter tank ensures you have the range to tackle remote terrain, while the proven twin-cylinder engine provides the torque you need for technical climbing and the power for dirt road blasts. This isn’t about ultimate speed—it’s about going anywhere with confidence.
The Rally inherits the standard Tuareg’s four riding modes, cruise control, and sophisticated ABS system, but adds heavy-duty components designed for punishment. The off-road tuned Kayaba suspension with 240mm of travel is calibrated specifically for loose surfaces and aggressive riding. Handguards protect your controls, the rally sidestand won’t sink in soft ground, and the chain guide prevents dropped chains in rough terrain.
The high mudguard keeps spray away, while the SC-Project slip-on gives this bike a more aggressive exhaust note that matches its enhanced capability. The TFT display remains clearly visible even in bright sunlight with goggles on.
The Rally version stands out immediately with its elevated 913mm rally seat with anti-slip inserts, specific anodized handlebars, and aggressive off-road stance. Heavy-duty spoked wheels with inner tubes can handle impacts that would destroy cast wheels. The off-road skidplate protects vital components when you inevitably find the sharp end of a rock. Every component is purpose-built for abuse.
The Tuareg 660 Rally is for serious adventure riders who spend more time off-road than on. At 199 kg wet (yes, 5 kg lighter than the standard Tuareg despite the heavy-duty components), it’s manageable when things get technical. The high seat height means this bike is best suited to taller riders or those comfortable with adventure bike ergonomics. If your idea of adventure involves more dirt than tarmac, the Rally is your machine.
