2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 in Piranha Red Following the release of the Aprilia RS 457 sportbike, the 2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 is built on the same platform but features naked bike styling and ergonomics. Aimed at a generation of younger and newer riders, the Tuono 457 offers a recognizable Aprilia design with street-riding convenience and safety features.  The Tuono 457 is powered by the same engine found in the RS 457: a liquid-cooled 457cc parallel-Twin that produces a claimed 47.6 hp at 9,400 rpm and 32.1 lb-ft of torque at 6,700 rpm. It comes with a slip/assist clutch, and compared to the RS 457, it has a shorter final drive train.  The Aprilia Tuono 457 is powered by Aprilia’s liquid-cooled 457cc parallel-Twin, which also powers the RS 457. Unique to the class, the Aprilia Tuono 457 and RS 457 feature an aluminum frame, which uses the engine as a stressed member. Suspension includes a 41mm fork that offers 4.7 inches of travel and a shock that offers 5.1 inches of travel, both adjustable for preload only. ByBre brakes include single-disc brakes front and rear, with a 320mm front rotor and a 220mm rear rotor. The Bosch ABS system can be set to function on both wheels or only on the front. Seat height is 31.5 inches, and dry weight is 350 lb.  The Tuono 457’s throttle-by-wire system enables three ride modes (Eco, Sport, and Rain) to adjust power and torque delivery, as well as traction control, which has three levels and can be disengaged completely. In all riding modes, ABS is active on both wheels, and it can be disengaged at the rear when the bike is stationary. A 5-inch TFT color display comes as standard, and handlebar controls are backlit. An accessory Aprilia MIA system allows connecting the display unit to a smartphone for navigation, music, and calls.  The full LED front cluster includes a triple headlight typical of Aprilia motorcycles, and the rear light is also LED. The bike features a new tank shape to complement the wide handlebar, and the design of the side panels and tailpiece are also new.  Aprilia offers a range of accessories for the Tuono 457, including a passenger seat cowl, aluminum levers, aluminum foot controls, a red drive chain, an up/down quickshifter, a USB port, a comfort seat, a lowered seat, luggage options, and more.  2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 in Puma Gray The 2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 will be available in Piranha Red with classic Aprilia red and black or Puma Gray with gray and white colors. Pricing has not yet been announced.  Visit the Aprilia website for more information.  Check out more new bikes in Rider’s 2025 Motorcycle Buyers Guide  The post 2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 Preview  appeared first on Rider Magazine.
