Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-performance machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with explosive power delivery and razor-sharp handling.
PurposeBuilt as a superbike-engined naked, it excels at aggressive sport riding, backroad blitzing and track days while retaining an upright naked-bike stance.
Rider FitThe compact, aggressive riding position combined with a firm suspension and light overall weight rewards an active, fit rider but is tiring on long stretches.
CharacterIt has a raw, visceral personality defined by its howling V4 engine, razor-quick throttle response and track-honed chassis dynamics.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, those seeking plush all-day comfort, or anyone planning serious two-up touring or off-road use.

2014 Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC 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 2014 Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC, 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.
