Italy’s famous motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia has finally launched its new Tuono 457 in the market. After being introduced for the first time at the EICMA 2024 Motor Show, this twin-cylinder naked streetfighter has now been launched in India. It is being made in India like the RS 457 and will soon be available in other countries.
Powerful and lightweight design for great performance
The Tuono 457 is specially designed for A2 license holders. It gets 47.6 HP of power, which is delivered at 9,400 RPM. This figure may not seem like much, but it weighs only 159 kg (about 350 pounds). That is, due to the lightweight and powerful twin-cylinder engine, this bike will give a fast and exciting ride experience.
Unlike other Tuono models, it does not have a full fairing, due to which its aluminum frame is clearly visible. Usually, a steel frame is seen in the bikes of this segment, but Aprilia has used aluminum to make it lighter and stronger.
Excellent suspension and braking system
The Tuono 457 has preload-adjustable suspension so that the rider can tune it according to his convenience.
- 41 mm upside-down forks (with 120 mm travel)
- Monoshock suspension with 130 mm travel
For safety, it has a Brembo ByBre braking system, which includes
- 320 mm front disc brake
- 220 mm rear disc brake
- Dual-channel switchable ABS.
Sporty ergonomics and modern technology
This bike has a seat height of 31.5 inches (800 mm), which keeps it rider-friendly. Flat handlebars and mid-set footpegs give it a sporty feel, which gives it an exciting experience while riding. Although it is not a completely lean bike, it will still be more comfortable than the RS 457.
In terms of technology too, the Tuono 457 comes with great features:
