New Aprilia Tuono 457 coming in 2025
Back in January of this year, photos of what seems to be a new Aprilia bike being tested surfaced, with experts suggesting it could be a naked version of the (then) recently introduced RS 457.
Now, at this year’s edition of EICMA, Aprilia officially unveils the Tuono 457.
Naked RS
Like the Tuono 660 is to the RS 660, the Tuono 457 can be classified as the “naked” version of the RS 457. It also features a liquid-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder engine, capable of 45 ps and only tips the scales at a claimed 159 kg (wet) weight.
According to Aprilia, a Tuono 457-specific tuning makes 82% of the torque available as early as 3000 rpm, peaking at 43.5 nm at 6700 rpm. Compared to the RS 457, the Tuono has a shorter final drive with an additional tooth on the rear sprocket. The chassis features a fist-in-segment double-beam aluminum frame and a swingarm mounted to the engine, hence the lighter overall weight.
Its 41 mm inverted fork and monoshock are preload-adjustable, and the 17” wheels are fitted with 110/70 front and 150/60 rear tires. The seat height is only 800 mm, making the bike accessible to a wide range of riders and riding skill levels.
Other features include ride-by-wire, riding modes (Eco, Sport, Rain), three levels of traction control, and Bosch ABS. The design is inspired by the Tuono V4 1100. The Tuono 457 will be available in two colors: Piranha Red and Puma Gray and can be customized with various accessories, including a bidirectional quick-shifter and a red final drive chain.
Philippine availability and pricing will be announced by Aprilia PH.
