Aprilia India will launch the Tuono 457 in the third week of February 2025. We expect the motorcycle to be priced at Rs. 4 lakh or less (ex-showroom), considering the RS 457 is currently priced at Rs. 4.20 lakh. The Tuono 457 is the naked streetfighter version of the RS 457 and is based on the same engine and platform as the RS, with a different design of course. The naked sibling of the RS 457 made its official debut at EICMA 2024 and yes, it will make its way to India very soon. In fact, it will be manufactured at Piaggio's plant in Baramati, Maharashtra, alongside the RS 457.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 gets the same 457 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor that makes 47.5 bhp and 43.5 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox and a quick-shifter is likely to be offered as an option. From what we gather, the frame, swingarm, suspension and the brakes are the same as on the RS 457 supersport.
The streetfighter styling along with the sharp lines and a muscular stance make the Tuono 457 a desirable motorcycle. The rear section along with the seat and the TFT screen are the same as the one on the RS 457. The Tuono 457 gets a single-piece handlebar as opposed to clip-on handlebars on the RS 457.
It will go up against the likes of the KTM 390 Duke, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the TVS Apache RTR 310, being the only twin-cylinder model amongst the rest of them.
