Aprilia is gearing up to launch the Tuono 457 in India by January 2025. This would be Aprilia’s first bike in the street naked segment in the country.
The Tuono 457, unveiled at the EICMA 2024, is based on the RS457. It’s designed to offer a thrilling ride with its powerful engine and sleek design. The bike features a 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, producing 46.9 bhp and 43.5 Nm of torque. Transmission duties are performed by a six-speed gearbox. An optional quick-shifter could be offered as well.
The Tuono 457 boasts a host of features, including a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting, traction control, multiple ride modes, and dual-channel ABS. The bike also has adjustable upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock for a smooth ride.
The Tuono 457 will compete with popular models like the KTM 390 Duke, Yamaha MT-03, and BMW G 310 R. The Tuono 457 brings aggressive design and powerful performance to the market.These will help it make a strong impression in the Indian market.
Aprilia has been expanding its presence in international markets with a range of electric and combustion bikes. The company’s commitment to innovation and performance has earned it a loyal customer base worldwide. The launch of the Tuono 457 in India is a testament to Aprilia’s dedication to bringing high-quality bikes to new markets.
The Tuono 457 will most likely be launched at the Bharat Mobility Expo in January 2025. It will be produced alongside the RS457 at Aprilia’s Baramati plant in Maharashtra. Given that this will be a street naked motorcycle, we expect it to be priced INR 25,000 to INR 30,000 lower than the RS457. The RS457 has received positive feedback from industry experts and customers. This would help in the success of the Tuono as it will be more affordable.
