Aprilia Tuono V4 – Fast, Reliable, and Sporty Naked Bike

Compared to more traditional, fully-covered sports bikes, the Aprilia Tuono V4 seems too strong, powerful, and muscled. It gives the impression that the motorcycle is more muscular than it is. The bike’s modern aesthetic design is enough to win over any sceptic.

The inspiration for the new design of the Tuono V4 came from the RS 660. It has a double fairing with an aerodynamic appendix, a new triple LED light configuration with daytime running lights that combine “bending lights,” and other details that give the bike a sleek look.

The colour scheme of the 17.9-litre fuel gauge is pleasing to the eye and gives an elegant and imposing look.

The Aprilia Tuono V4 has an Airbox-design fuel system with variable-speed intakes up front.

Aprilia designed an elegant frame for Tuono V4. The parts of the aluminium dual-beam chassis are made of pressed and cast sheet metal. The SmartEC 2.0 Sachs steering damper is a type of Ohlins damper that is controlled by electronics.

The engine’s bore is 81 mm across and has a 52.3 mm stroke. It compresses at a rate of 13:6:1.

The Tuono V4 is the best motorcycle for travelling, even though it is not the fastest, and it is because it has better ergonomics and more features that are made for travelling.

Riders can quickly and easily adjust settings like traction control, wheelie control, anti-lock braking system, and engine brake to handle the motorcycle better in their favourite riding environment.

The Tuono V4’s fairing has a triple front LED light combo and perimetral DRLs around the two main headlights. These lights give the bike a unique light signature that can be seen day or night.

The Euro 4 standard calls for a 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system with two oxygen sensors, a single side-mounted silencer, and a bypass valve controlled by the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU).

With the addition of a lower reinforcement brace and a new, lighter aluminium swingarm, the well-known chassis and the unbeatable riding experience have been improved.

The Magneti Marelli digital electronic ignition system is part of the engine management unit. It has one spark plug per cylinder and “stick-coil” type coils. The bike got an electric starter and a multi-plate wet clutch with a slipper system.

The bike has lubrication wet sump lubrication system with an oil radiator and two oil pumps (lubrication and cooling).

The Aprilia Tuono V4 has a 6-speed transmission that looks like a cassette. Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS) is an electric technology with a gear lever that helps the transmission work.

The suspension duties at the front are performed by 43mm Ohlins NIX front fork and Smart EC 2.9 electronic management. The front suspension travel is 120 mm.

At the rear, the suspension duties are helped by an inverted truss aluminium rear arm, Ohlins TTX single shock absorber with piggy-back and smart EC 2.0 electronic management. The suspension travel at the rear is 129 mm.

Stainless steel discs with a diameter of 330 mm float in front of a 6-pin rotor made of stainless steel and performs the braking at the show. At the rear, the braking duties are handled by a 220 mm disc in the back. The ABS cornering performs well when it comes to stopping the bike.
