Aprilia Tuono 457 India Launch Confirmed For February 2025

Aprilia has confirmed that it will launch the Tuono 457 in India during the third week of February. A statement from the company said that the prices of the motorcycle will be announced by around February 17 or February 18. Unveiled at EICMA 2024, the Tuono 457 is essentially the RS 457’s naked counterpart and retains the same engine and mechanical components as the latter. Upon its launch, expect the motorcycle to be offered at a slightly lower price tag than the RS 457, which currently retails at Rs 4.20 lakh (ex-showroom).

Visually, the Tuono 457 sports a singular headlamp setup, flanked by boomerang-style daytime running lamps (DRLs). The motorcycle also features winglets below the headlamps. The rest of the motorcycle remains cosmetically identical to the RS 457. The bike has a slightly different riding stance over the RS 457 due to the one-piece handlebar, rearset footpegs, and arched seat. The bike will come with three ride modes, and other rider assists like traction control and ABS like the RS 457.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 retains the same parallel-twin engine as the RS 457

On the powertrain front, the Aprilia Tuono 457 is powered by the same 457 cc parallel-twin engine as the RS 457. The motor churns out a peak power output of 47 bhp and peak torque of 43.5 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. However, expect Aprilia to tweak the final drive with a slightly shorter ratio for stronger low-end performance and also due to the lower kerb weight to achieve a better power-to-weight ratio.
