About the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory

Powered by a Euro 4 compliant liquid cooled 1,077cc V4 cylinder engine, producing 173bhp. Essentially a naked RSV4 RF with less power/more low down torque.

Compared to the 2015-2016 model this model is Euro 4 compliant along with having a revised exhaust system, colour TFT dash, cornering ABS, cruise control, 500rpm higher red line, pitlane speed limiter, improved brakes and quickshifter with up and down functionality.

The slightly cheaper Tuono V4 RR is more road focused and does not have the red wheels, racing colour scheme, Ohlins suspension, Ohlins steering damper, RSV4 RF tail, wider rear tyre or Supercorsa rubber (you can add the Ohlins as extra).

Options include an Akrapovic Carbon slip-on end can and full system, Aluminium racing pegs, frame protectors, forged rims, LED indicators and a multimedia kit.

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.

2017 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 2017 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.
