Aprilia India has launched the all-new Tuono 457 streetfighter motorcycle, priced at ₹3.96 lakh (ex-showroom, Maharashtra). Bookings have commenced, with test rides set to begin in the first week of March. Deliveries will follow in early April.
Aprilia Tuono 457 Features
The Tuono 457 is based on the RS 457 but sports a unique design, optimized for street performance. Unlike its fully-faired sibling, the Tuono gets a sharp, naked look with a twin LED headlamp featuring boomerang-shaped DRLs. A raised single-piece handlebar replaces the RS’s clip-ons, ensuring a more upright and comfortable riding posture.
Other key design elements include a split-seat setup, split grab rails, and a stubby tail section. The bike runs on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Protorq Extreme tyres, ensuring superior grip and handling.
The Tuono 457 draws power from a 457cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 47 bhp and 43.5 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. While performance figures remain the same as the RS 457, the lighter weight and upright ergonomics enhance city and highway riding.
The streetfighter retains high-quality cycle parts, including USD front forks and a monoshock rear suspension for superior ride quality. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes on both ends, supported by switchable ABS. Electronic aids such as three riding modes and traction control further enhance rider safety and performance.
