Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners, new licence holders, or commuters stepping up from a scooter who want sporty styling without intimidating power.
PurposeBuilt for urban commuting and learner-friendly fun rather than outright performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light dry weight, and narrow proportions make it easy to handle for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA playful, nimble naked bike that mimics its bigger Tuono siblings' aggressive styling while staying light, approachable, and efficient.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking highway touring comfort, two-up passenger trips, or serious speed and power.

2017 Aprilia Tuono 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Aprilia Tuono 125, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
