The 2026 Aprilia Tuono 457 Special Edition has been launched at Rs 3.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It gets 2 new colour options – Mamba Black and Puma Grey – inspired by the legendary 2006 Tuono 1000R. Both colours look appealing and give the bike a unique character.
There are also other changes that make the bike more comfortable. The new smoked windscreen to help with wind protection at high speeds. The handlebar is now raised, and results in a more upright seating position. The special edition also gets an adjustable brake lever.
The special edition Tuono 457 has a revised suspension. It is now said to be more over bad roads. Adding to this the new seat padding for improved comfort.
Mechanically, the bike remains unchanged. It is powered by the same 457cc parallel twin engine making 47.6PS and 43.5Nm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
The bike continues to get a TFT screen along with Bluetooth connectivity. It gets 3 ride modes, a ride-by-wire throttle, all-LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, and switchable traction control. Aprilia is also offering optional accessories such as a tyre pressure monitoring system, a bidirectional quickshifter, sintered brake pads, a USB charging socket, electronic anti-theft system, and more.
BikeDekho Says
The Aprilia Tuono 457 was already an impressive bike, but the brand seems to have listened to the feedback to improve it. During our road test review the seat felt comfortable for about 200km, but with the changes, it should now feel comfortable over even longer distances.
Back then, the bike didn’t feel as good going over the bad roads. That might not be the case anymore. The taller handlebar should reduce the sporty posture of the previous iteration. The adjustable front brake lever was previously an optional accessory worth about Rs 5,000. However, the special edition is just about Rs 2,700 more expensive than the standard bike. That gives it a fantastic value for money. The Tuono 457 still rivals the likes of the KTM 390 Duke R.
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
