Aprilia has officially launched the much-anticipated Tuono 457 in India, setting a new benchmark in the entry-level performance naked bike segment. Designed for young, passionate riders who crave an exhilarating riding experience, the Tuono 457 combines cutting-edge technology, lightweight engineering, and a striking design to deliver an unmatched thrill on two wheels.
Pure Adrenaline on Two Wheels
With its aggressive styling and race-inspired aerodynamics, the Tuono 457 embraces Aprilia’s DNA, ensuring a dynamic yet comfortable ride. The triple full-LED headlight cluster reflects the brand’s signature design, while the small aerodynamic spoiler is a tribute to the legendary Tuono 1000 R. The ergonomics are fine-tuned with a wide handlebar, low seat height, and an aluminum frame, providing an optimal balance between comfort and performance.
Power and Performance
At the heart of the Aprilia Tuono 457 is a modern 457cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, capable of producing 47.6 hp at 9,400 rpm. This power output, coupled with its ultra-lightweight chassis weighing just 159 kg (dry), results in an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, setting it apart in its category. The aluminum frame, developed using advanced CAE technology, ensures stability and precise handling, making it a perfect companion for spirited riding.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Equipped with an advanced Ride-by-Wire system, the Tuono 457 offers three distinct riding modes, adjusting power delivery, torque, and traction control settings on the go. The intuitive 5-inch TFT digital dashboard provides a clear display of all necessary information, making the ride experience even more immersive.
Dashboard
The Aprilia Tuono 457 features an ultra-modern 5” colour TFT display which provides a clear and intuitive interface.

The 41-mm fork with 120 mm of travel is preload adjustable. The rear shock, which operates on the asymmetrical steel swingarm, is also preload adjustable and offers 130 mm of travel, ensuring optimal adaptability to various riding conditions, even with a passenger. The Aprilia Tuono 457’s 17” wheel rims accommodate tyres measuring 110/70 up front and 150/60 at the rear for a combination that delivers unrivalled handling and showcases the renowned precision and solidity of an Aprilia chassis.
