The Aprilia Tuono 457 made its global debut at EICMA 2024 earlier this year and the street-naked version of the RS 457 is likely to go on sale in India soon. Aprilia India has listed the new Tuono 457 on its website hinting at an imminent launch, which will make this the most accessible ‘Tuono’ nameplate to go on sale. Aprilia already retails the Tuono 1100 and Tuono 660 in India.
The Aprilia RS 457 was launched in India last year just months after its global debut and the Tuono was expected to arrive at the India Bike Week 2024 in December. However, the Italian motorcycle maker skipped the annual biking festival and it now seems, the bike will launch the Tuono 457 directly to the masses. Much like the RS 457, the upcoming Tuono 457 will be made in India at the brand’s Baramati plant in Maharashtra for domestic and global markets.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 shares its underpinnings with the Aprilia RS457. The roadster drops the fairing in favor of lighter weight and a more upright and comfortable riding position over RS 457. The styling is strikingly different from the larger displacement Tuonos with the L-shaped LED DRLs and an LED headlamp. The bike will be available in two colors – red and black.
Aprilia Tuono 457 Specifications
The Aprilia Tuono 457 will draw power from the 457 cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine from the RS 457. The motor produces 46.9 bhp and 43.5 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The Tuono is likely to pack a bi-directional quickshifter as an option.

The upcoming Aprilia Tuono 457 will take on the Yamaha MT-03, KTM 390 Duke, BMW G 310 R, and more when it goes on sale in the country.
