Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a razor-sharp superbike-powered naked meant for experienced, confident riders who can manage explosive acceleration and a firm, track-focused chassis.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive cornering, trackday attack, and high-speed road riding rather than relaxed commuting or long-distance comfort.
Rider FitDemands an active, fit riding position with a fairly high seat and significant weight transfer onto the wrists at low speed, favoring riders comfortable with a committed, sporty stance.
CharacterA visceral, howling V4-powered hooligan bike that rewards precise inputs with ferocious acceleration and razor-edged handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, those seeking plush comfort, or anyone planning frequent two-up touring or long motorway hauls.

2015 Aprilia Tuono V4 R ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Aprilia Tuono V4 R ABS, 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.
