Aprilia India To Launch The Tuono 457 Today!
The bike will get Aprilia’s signature design features and is expected to have a competitive price tag
Aprilia India will launch the Tuono 457 for the Indian market today. The bike will be the first sub-500cc naked-streetfighter offering from the Italian brand. Here’s all you need to know about the new Tuono 457:
It has been quite some time since Aprilia had showcased the Tunon 457 at EICMA 2024 and the bike has also been spied testing on Indian roads. It is expected to be priced around the Rs 4 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) mark.
The Tuono 457 will get a street-fighter design with tank extensions and Aprilia’s iconic design elements like the twin DRLs at the front, an underbelly exhaust and distinctive graphic schemes.
The bike will be powered by the same 457cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine from the Aprilia RS 457. It produces 47.55PS and 43.5Nm, and is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch. The engine might be the same but we can expect some change in the gearing and the sprocket sizes to give the bike a different character.
The bike will be built on the same platform as the RS 457 with the same chassis, and is likely to get similar underpinnings. The bike gets an inverted fork and a monoshock offering full-adjustability. For the braking setup, the bike will get a 320mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc brake along with dual-channel ABS as standard.
On the features front, the bike will get a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth for call and SMS alerts and turn-by-turn navigation. The bike is expected to have riding modes: Eco, Sport and Rain along with switchable traction control and ABS. The Aprilia Tuono 457, following its launch in India will directly rival the bikes like Yamaha MT-03 and KTM 390 Duke.
Aprilia Tuono 457 User Reviews
Stance and appearance. it was expensive but the test ride felt awesome, the engine was punchy but i had concerns about mileage, but the thrill it gives way above all the expenses that occur. I personally use it as daily but my dad uses it sometimes, says he gets little scared due to acceleration. It's a punchy engine making it fun for rides with friends and also a tractable engine for daily runs. It has 2 downsides which, i think must be fixed, the suspension does not feel good (prolly due to Bangalore roads). and brake works good but does not feel good. yes, i would recommend this bike, especially for enthusiasts. its a good daily (except low mileage) and a fun highway bike. I just love to ride it. It fills you with spirit and if there is a feeling i would like others to have its this.Read More
one of the best bikes i use for speeding,best comfort gets to 100 kms in just 5 seconds,i cant believe a bike with such a fast throttle and pickup giving mileage of 30 kms its out of my mind,maintenance cost is appreciable service and parts available all over India no need for waiting parts just go to aprilla showroomRead More

My brother bought this bike a few months ago and it is excellent, in simple this bike is so comfortable to compare to Apache and BMW 310 r, its ride quality and speed, torque are great and the handling when you are at high speed is very smooth which is why i definitely recommend you to buy this bike. Also, I live in a tier 1 city but I only see some of these bikes in rare locations so you have something great and uniqueRead More
