The Aprilia Tuono 457 features a new 457 cc parallel twin engine delivering 47.6 hp and 43.5 Nm, noted for its strong low to mid-range performance and lively throttle response, enhanced by shorter gearing for city riding. The motorcycle weighs 175 kg, offering agile handling and a balanced chassis. Its riding triangle provides a sporty yet comfortable position, differing from the RS 457 with a higher-mounted handlebar. Braking performance is adequate but lacks feedback at the lever.
