What does the Aprilia Tuono 457 get?
The Aprilia Tuono 457 is the smallest capacity naked motorcycle from the Italian manufacturer. It comes with an aggressive front-end design and features sculpted bodywork. It will be available in two dual-tone colour options: white/silver and red/black.
The Tuono 457 will be powered by the same 457cc,liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine as the Aprilia RS 457, which produces a peak output of 47.55PS and 43.5Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The Aprilia Tuono 457 will be equipped with the same 5-inch TFT display as the Aprilia RS 457. It also gets smartphone connectivity features via Bluetooth for turn-by-turn navigation and call and SMS alerts. The naked bike also gets 3 riding modes: Eco, Sport and Rain. Other rider aid features include switchable traction control and switchable rear ABS.
In terms of underpinnings, the Tuono 457 gets the same perimeter frame as the RS 457, but provides a more relaxed body posture, thanks to the easy-to-reach handlebar and mid-set footpegs. It is equipped with an inverted fork and a monoshock, both pre-load adjustable. For braking, it uses a 320mm front disc and a 230mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS as standard. The naked bike has 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped with tubeless tyres, on both ends.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 is likely to be priced below the Aprilia Tuono 457 (Rs 4,10,000), around the Rs 4 lakh (ex-showroom) mark. Once launched, it will directly rival the KTM 390 Duke (Rs 3,12,461) and the Yamaha MT-03 (Rs 3,49,900). All prices ex-showroom.
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

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
