Aprilia Tuono 457 Design PatentedUpon launch, Aprilia Tuono 457 will primarily challenge rivals such as Yamaha MT-03 and KTM 390 Duke
Aprilia is set to expand its motorcycle portfolio in India with the Tuono 457. The bike is essentially a naked version of the fully-faired RS 457. It will be manufactured locally, something that will help achieve a competitive price point. The design of this motorcycle is patented in India and the launch is expected to happen soon.

With the patent registration filed in India, launch is expected soon. Earlier, spy shots had revealed the Tuono 457 in production-ready format. The bike utilizes the same platform as that of RS 457, but has a distinctive profile. The front fascia is entirely different in comparison to the RS 457.

Some of the key highlights include a triple full-LED headlight cluster and a small lower spoiler. In addition to enhancing the bike’s dominating road presence, the lighting setup is also engineered to ensure excellent visibility. Other key features include sporty rearview mirrors and a finely chiselled fuel tank with sharp, dynamic lines. Radiator shrouds fit snugly and their sharp design enhances the bike’s looks and aerodynamics.
Aprilia Tuono 457 has split seats, a 2-in-1 underbelly exhaust, sleek grab rails and a quirky-looking asymmetrical steel swingarm. The bike is designed for enhanced rider comfort with features such as a wide handlebar and centrally positioned foot pegs. Seat height is expected around 800 mm, which is appropriate for optimal control and handling.

Two colour options are on offer with Aprilia Tuono 457 – Puma Grey and Piranha Red. The Puma Grey livery will appeal to folks who are looking for a relatively sober profile for their ride. In comparison, the Piranha Red livery is essentially a celebration of Aprilia’s sporting heritage. The striking combo of red and black perfectly complements the bike’s aggressive look and feel.

Production-Spec Aprilia Tuono SpiedFurther expanding their 457cc portfolio, Aprila is poised to launch the Tuono 457 in India soon.

Sold at an attractive price point of Rs 4.2 lakh (Ex-sh), Aprilia RS 457 brings a lot of excitement among India’s motorcycling fraternity. The company is now expanding this portfolio with Tuono 457, a naked version of the well-received RS 457. Both bikes will share platform, components and powertrain, while flaunting different body styles.

With Tuono 457, Aprilia is expected to strike an even better price proposition. Probably even under Rs 4 lakh mark (Ex-sh). With the launch of RS 457, Aprilia achieved a new price that it could never do before. This is done with efficient manufacturing in India at the Piaggio production facility in Baramati, Maharashtra.
This strategy is similar to what the other legacy brands are doing like Triumph, BMW and Harley-Davidson. Speaking of, Tuono 457 will directly rival Yamaha’s MT-03, which has less performance and costs a premium, owing to its CBU route. Other rivals include the single-cylinder KTM 390 Duke.

What to expect?
As seen in the spy shots, there seems to be some testing equipment strapped on the pillion seat. There is some camouflaging on fuel tank, to hide the identity of this motorcycle. Other than the body style, Aprilia Tuono 457 is similar to the RS 457. Tuono 457 lacks a fairing and gets a unique headlight setup, inspired by Tuono 660.
Componentry changes include a conventional street-style handlebar for an upright stance and handlebar-mounted ORVMs, among others. USD front forks, rear mono-shock, front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS, fancy swingarm, 17-inch alloy wheels with fat tyres and underbelly exhaust for mass centralisation are common between both bikes.
Aprilia Tuono 457 Unveiled
Powering the Aprilia Tuono 457 will be the same 457cc parallel-twin DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled engine. In RS 457, this engine delivers around 47 bhp of peak power and 43.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. For Tuono 457, Aprilia might tune this engine differently to achieve a unique character. Launch is likely to happen soon.

Piaggio Group has been busy showcasing new products at EICMA 2024. The company’s latest showcase is of stark relevance for Indian market.

After launching the RS 457, the recently unveiled Tuono 457 is the second motorcycle from the Italian marque based on this potent 457 platform. It is a street fighter version of RS 457, that will take on the likes of KTM 390 Duke, Yamaha MT-03 and Kawasaki Z400, among others.
Aprilia Tuono 457 Unveiled
Aprilia showcased Tuono 457 at EICMA Show 2024, held in Milan, Italy. Up until now, there was only one version or body style from Aprilia based on this 457 platform. With Tuono 457, we get to see a street naked motorcycle based on the same RS 457 platform. Recently, an ADV version, Aprilia Tuareg 457, was also spied testing.
This suggests Aprilia is branching out and is carving more flavours of its new 457 platform. This strategy has worked wonders with KTM and the company now has 5 body styles based on its 390 platform – Duke, RC, Adventure, Enduro and SMC. Not only does this strategy make financial sense, Aprilia brand will also have a wider impact on motorcycling fraternity.

Design-wise, Aprilia Tuono might not be as universally accepted as its Supersport sibling. Front fascia is slightly convoluted with a vertically stacked headlight design, flanked by LED DRLs. There is a front winglet for aerodynamic efficiency as well. Just like the RS 457, Tuono 457 also flexes its perimeter frame as a design attribute.
Fuel tank is sculpted and screams aggression. Tank shrouds and fat USD telescopic front forks lend a lot of muscle for this street fighter. The housing for TFT instrument cluster acts as a faux windscreen and the underbelly exhaust looks good and shows mass centralisation.
