Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike demands an experienced, confident rider who can manage explosive V4 power and razor-sharp handling.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad blitzing and trackday lap times, blending hyperbike performance with naked-bike attack angles.
Rider FitThe aggressive but roomier naked riding position is demanding at low speed yet far less punishing than a full sportbike over long stints.
CharacterA raw, race-bred super naked that delivers exotic V4 character, top-tier electronics, and Ohlins-suspended precision for those chasing pure adrenaline.
Not Ideal ForNot for new riders, commuters wanting plush comfort, or anyone planning serious long-distance touring or passenger duties.

2016 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
