Aprilia Unleashes the Thrilling Tuono 457: India Launch Set for February 2025!


The highly anticipated Aprilia Tuono 457 is set to make its debut in India on February 17 or 18, 2025.

This launch follows its global unveiling at EICMA 2024 and promises to bring a fresh option to the growing sub-500cc motorcycle segment.

Key Specifications and Features


Notably, it will also offer an optional quick-shifter, enhancing the riding experience for enthusiasts. The motorcycle shares its platform with the RS 457, ensuring robust performance while adopting a more minimalist streetfighter design.

Design Highlights

  • Styling: The Tuono 457 features a naked bike aesthetic with a sleek profile, ditching the full fairing of its RS counterpart for a more aggressive look. It includes a vertically-stacked headlamp flanked by boomerang-shaped LED daytime running lights.
  • Ergonomics: Unlike the RS 457’s clip-on handlebars, the Tuono adopts a single-piece handlebar for a more upright riding position, catering to urban riders.
  • Color Options: It will be available in two color schemes: Piranha Red and Puma Grey.

Technology and Safety Features

The motorcycle is equipped with modern technology, including:

  • A 5-inch TFT display that supports Bluetooth connectivity for calls, SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation.
  • Multiple riding modes (Eco, Sport, Rain) along with switchable traction control and dual-channel ABS.
  • High-quality suspension components featuring preload-adjustable USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear.

Market Positioning

With an expected price tag of around ₹4 lakh (ex-showroom), the Tuono 457 aims to compete against popular models such as the KTM 390 DukeYamaha MT-03, and TVS Apache RTR 310.

Its unique twin-cylinder engine sets it apart in a segment dominated by single-cylinder rivals.

Upcoming Events

In addition to its launch, Aprilia has planned a media ride for journalists on February 18, allowing them to experience the motorcycle firsthand shortly after its official unveiling.

As anticipation builds for the Tuono 457’s arrival in India, it stands poised to attract both new riders and seasoned motorcyclists looking for a blend of performance and practicality in the naked bike category.
