Aprilia has unveiled the new Tuono V4 for the global markets. The latest model of the litre-class super naked features updated styling, electronics, engine, and more. Unlike the new Aprilia RSV4 which has witnessed an increase in engine displacement (from 1077 cc to 1099 cc), the 2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 uses the same 1077cc motor, however, it has gone through a series of changes to meet the stricter Euro 5 emission regulations. Interestingly, the output figures remain unchanged even after the conversion. This means that the 2021 Tuono V4 has 175 hp and 121 Nm.
For the 2021 Tuono V4, Aprilia has
borrowed styling cues from the all-new Tuono 660 which was revealed earlier
this month. The updated styling makes the super naked motorcycle that much more
aggressive and desirable. Aprilia has included winglets on the side fairing.
They are supposed to provide more downforce and help in engine heat management.
The fuel tank and seat of the 2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 have also been tweaked.
This results in improved ergonomics.
Aprilia has also updated the electronics
package of the new Tuono V4. There’s a 6-axis IMU, new and dedicated riding
modes for street and track environments, traction control, engine braking,
anti-wheelie, and cornering ABS. A new and larger TFT instrument cluster is
also a part of the new electronics package.
The new Tuono V4 will be available in the
US by the end of March 2021. The base model will cost USD 15,999 whereas the
Factory edition, that gets Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension and
exclusive Black colour option, will retail at USD 19,499.
