APRILIA Tuono Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The big news for the mighty Aprilia Tuono in 2017 is more refinement. Everyone seems to agree, for now, that 1077cc of V-4 power is enough to get the job done, so the Tuono gets a full-color TFT dash, a Euro-4 compliant muffler, and cruise control.

The new, sophisticated electronic management includes an advanced dynamic controls package with APRC, Cornering ABS, Pit Limiter and Cruise Control. The inimitable 175 hp V4 earns Euro 4 approval, without sacrificing any of its superb performance. Improved suspension and brakes.

Aggressive, sporty, capable of expressing dynamic character and light weight in a unique and unmistakable style, a true big Aprilia in 125 cc of pure fun.Designed, developed and built in Italy, Aprilia Tuono 125 offers the younger rider, but also enthusiasts of smaller engine capacities, the best they can find in terms of design, construction, components and technical features.

This version of the Tuono is addressed mainly to those riders who tend to demand nothing but the top performance from their bikes, with most of its components being derived directly from the new RSV4 RF superbike.

On the technology side, it has all of Aprilia's race track inspired features, such as the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC), the "Race ABS" and the ride-by-wire.

The 1100 Factory APRC comes in very bright and distinctive colors, typical to Aprilia's racing heritage, which make it stand out in almost any crowd.

The 2015 MY Aprilia Tuono V4 1100RR comes as a descendant to the successful Tuono V4 R. The house of Noale have focused mainly on improving the V4 engine, and they have succeeded. To do this, the cylinder bore was enlarged, from 78 to 81mm, resulting in a new engine displacement of 1077cc. Putting it in numbers, the new V4 produces 175 horsepower and 120 Nm of torque as opposed to the 167 horsepower and 115 Nm of torque of the Tuono V4 R.

Of course, the Italian engineers have fitted all the technology from the RSV4 on the Tuono also, making it a suiting two-wheeler for open-road and track Sundays alike. Technologies such as the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) and the "Race ABS" make the Tuono perform like no other, under stressful situations on the track, or on a simple highway haul, it will be able to put a smile on the face of those who enjoy a zero-compromise streetfighter.

The APRC allows the rider to make custom settings on some electronic systems, to better suit the needs at any given moment.

The engine, a 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, 999cc V4, is extremely compact, taking no more room than a twin-cylinder. It develops an impressive 167 horsepower and 111 Nm of torque.

Coming standard with ABS, The Tuono V4 R, has improved stability when braking from high speeds, increasing rider safety and possibly adverting accidents.

One difference was the rear shock absorber that made the Tuono 1000 R model somewhat less usable on the track. In addition, the bike's parts were interchangeable, so the rear shock could be used on the Tuono 1000 R model to be used on the track.

In 2008, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R, a naked motorcycle in its third year of production. The bike came with the same package as previous models, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without significant modifications.

In 2006, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R, a second-generation machine based on the 2004-2009 Aprilia RSV 1000 R.

One technical difference between the two models was that the RSV 1000 R had a compression, preload-adjustable, and rebound-damping rear shock, while the Tuono 1000 R had only preload-adjustable and rebound damping.

This difference made it less usable on the track, but since their parts were interchangeable, it shouldn't stop anyone from using the Tuono on the track by swapping the rear shock. Besides that, other differences were purely cosmetic.
