Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a hyper-naked built for experienced, skilled riders who can manage explosive V4 power and a light chassis.
PurposeDesigned for aggressive sport riding, trackdays, and fast twisty roads rather than relaxed commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitRiders need good upper body strength and stamina to control the sharp throttle response and aggressive, forward-leaning riding position.
CharacterA raw, high-performance naked bike that rewards confident, committed riding with race-derived electronics and a snarling V4 soundtrack.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for beginners, casual commuters, or riders seeking a comfortable, upright touring bike.

2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
