THE ULTIMATE FUN BIKE BECOMES 457
Designed for amazing performance and riding pleasure within its category. Adrenalin on two wheels, a distinctive style and the very best technology combined to deliver unrivalled control and thrills. Welcome to the most anti-conformist Tuono ever made. A true Naked that maintains the key Tuono values and characteristics, designed A2 motorcyclists.
A DECLARATION OF PERSONALITY
The Aprilia Tuono 457 makes a design statement with its compact, essential lines that capture the sporting soul of a true Naked. The triple full-LED headlight cluster reproduces Aprilia's iconic style, while the small spoiler, with its advanced aerodynamics, pays homage to the legendary Tuono 1000 R. Every detail is the result of functional, sports-oriented design, with the fuel tank’s excellent ergonomics combining with the wide handlebar and low seat, tapered at the sides, to deliver a riding experience that is comfortable but always dynamic.
PUSHING PERFORMANCE TO THE LIMIT
The Aprilia Tuono 457 is powered by a modern 457-cc twin-cylinder engine with load-bearing capacity. This jewel of Aprilia technology has deliberately been left uncovered to showcase its uniqueness in the category. The ultra-modern liquid-cooled engine delivers up to a 35 kw (47.6 horsepower) at 9400 rpm, the maximum allowed for an A2 compliant motorbike, and a record for a forward-facing twin-cylinder with this capacity.
EXTRAORDINARILY LIGHTWEIGHT AND AGILE
The Aprilia Tuono 457 is the only bike in its segment to boast an aluminium frame, a choice that ensures dynamic excellence. Designed using Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), advanced technology and extensively road tested, the frame helps the bike achieve a dry weight of just 159 kg, setting a record power-to-weight ratio. The suspension package is also high level, with the preload adjustable on both the 41-mm fork and rear shock absorber, which operates on the asymmetrical steel swingarm. All in all, the perfect formula for a rigorous yet highly responsive riding experience.
THE FUN CONTINUES TO EVOLVE
Technology is used to up the fun for Aprilia Tuono 457 riders, courtesy of an electronics package that is set to revolutionise the segment. Ride by Wire, originally introduced by Aprilia in MotoGP, combines with three Riding Modes that optimise power output, torque and traction control across three levels, even while riding. To make your ride easier and more intuitive, simply select the most appropriate mode using the handy backlit handlebar commands and you’ll see your choice displayed on the ultra-modern 5” TFT colour dashboard.
