Aprilia has introduced the Tuono 457 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 3.95 lakh. Designed for a more relaxed and comfortable ride, it features a single-piece handlebar positioned higher than the RS 457’s clip-ons, ensuring an upright posture suited for everyday riding.
The Aprilia Tuono 457 boasts a striking streetfighter design, blending aggressive styling with rider-friendly ergonomics. Its sharp front end features a prominent LED headlamp and boomerang-style DRLs, while a sculpted fuel tank and exposed engine components add to its bold appearance. The sleek tail section, single-piece handlebar, and rear-set footpegs complete the bike’s purposeful look. Available in two eye-catching colours, Piranha Red and Puma Grey, the Tuono 457 takes inspiration from its larger Tuono siblings and the fully-faired RS 457, while maintaining a unique identity.
Aprilia Tuono 457 is powered by a 457cc parallel-twin engine, generating 47bhp and 43.5Nm of peak torque, the same as its fully-faired counterpart. Built on a durable aluminium perimeter frame, it is equipped with a 41mm inverted front fork and a rear monoshock, both offering preload adjustability for a customizable ride. Braking is taken care of by a 320mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc, complemented by dual-channel ABS for added safety. The Tuono 457 rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends, fitted with tubeless tyres, ensuring a smooth and stable performance.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 is designed with rider convenience in mind, featuring a 5-inch TFT colour display that connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth. This integration provides riders with easy access to important ride data, including turn-by-turn navigation, as well as call and SMS alerts, all directly displayed on the screen for a seamless and connected experience.
First showcased at EICMA last year, the Tuono 457 is priced Rs 25,000 lower than the fully-faired RS 457, which costs Rs 4.20 lakh. Competing in the streetfighter segment, it goes up against the Yamaha MT-03 (Rs 3.50 lakh), BMW G 310 R (Rs 2.90 lakh), and KTM 390 Duke (Rs 2.95 lakh). All prices are ex-showroom.
