Check out the Aprilia Tuono 457 specifications, features, ground clearance, seat height, engine cc, gearbox, kerb weight, power, torque, and fuel tank capacity.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The
        Aprilia Tuono 457 is a street-focused naked bike with sporty handling and sharp
        styling in a compact, approachable package. Its responsive engine, lightweight
        chassis, and aggressive looks make it great choice for urban fun. The Tuono 457
        rivals the KTM Duke 390 and the Yamaha MT-03 for lightweight sport-naked
        dominance.</p>

<p>
The Aprilia Tuono 457 is the naked twin of the RS 457 – the motorcycle that shook up India’s entry-level supersport segment with its seductive Italian design, hot-blooded performance, and razor-sharp handling, which explains why it won autoX’s ‘Best of 2024’ award, along with the Indian Motorcycle of the Year (IMOTY) title later that season.</p>

<p>Now, as brilliant as the RS 457 is, it’s also unapologetically sporty and aggressive. That’s why Aprilia decided to bring out an easier-on-the-wrist naked version of it this year – the Tuono 457. With its wide and tall handlebar and noticeably more relaxed rider’s triangle, it’s an easier bike to ride for sure. Mechanically, it’s unchanged – you still get the 457cc parallel-twin engine producing 47bhp and 43.5Nm, meaning it’s every bit as punchy and addictive as its faired sibling. Aprilia has, however, tweaked the final drive ratio with an extra tooth on the rear sprocket for quicker intial acceleration, but the trade-off is that it is about a second slower to reach 100km/h. The missing (and slippery) bodywork also plays a part in slightly compromising the top end. And, of course, being a naked, you’ll be fighting through a fair bit of wind blast at triple-digit speeds.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/2025-aprilia-tuono-457-india-first-ride-review-new-king-of-street-naked-bikes-autox-120382/">2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 India | First Ride Review | New King of Street Naked Bikes | autoX</a></p>

<p>That brings us to its styling, or the lack of it. In this area, the Tuono 457 is a bit of a mixed bag. While the overall stance is muscular and purposeful, the front end lacks the sharp, predatory appeal of the larger Tuonos.</p>

<p>On the track, though, the Tuono absolutely redeems itself. The front end feels planted and composed around corners. The only problem during our track test was noticeable handlebar vibrations beyond 5,000rpm.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-tuono-457-vs-rs-457-key-differences-explained-119950/">Aprilia Tuono 457 vs RS 457: Key Differences Explained</a></p>

<p>Overall, the Tuono 457 is a phenomenal naked machine that nails the essentials – a thrilling engine, a dynamic chassis, and everyday usability. It just misses out on being as stellar as the RS 457. And, lastly, Aprilia’s after-sales service and long-term reliability have recently come under scrutiny. Naturally, that dents its score in the practicality category.

Aprilia Tuono 457 at autoX Awards: Best Bikes of 2025 Ranked

With its wide and tall handlebar and noticeably more relaxed rider’s triangle, the Aprilia Tuono 457 is an easier bike to ride for sure.

<p>
One of the newer entrants in the performance scooter segment, the Aprilia SR 175 hp-e is an easy machine to understand. Light, agile, and purpose-built, it has a single mission – to feed your need for speed. And it does that with surprising ease, especially when unleashed on a racetrack, where it truly comes alive. It makes 13bhp and 14.14Nm of torque – enough to cross the triple-digit mark on the digital speedometer. Even at 80–90 km/h, the engine doesn’t feel strained, making the SR 175 a surprisingly capable companion for long-distance riding. The digital instrument cluster offers crisp graphics, a clear layout, and plenty of useful data, making it one of the better ones in this class.</p>

<p>On the track, the SR 175 holds its line beautifully around corners, thanks to its relatively long wheelbase and 14-inch wheels. They give it a reassuring sense of stability, whether you’re blazing through bends or gunning it on the highway. The only downside is that direction changes at low speeds can feel a bit lazy. While it lacks traction control, the inclusion of single-channel ABS adds a welcome layer of safety and confidence.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/aprilia-sr-175-first-ride-review-the-performance-scooter-to-get-121814/">Aprilia SR 175 First Ride Review: The Performance Scooter to Get?</a></p>

<p>That said, the SR 175 struggles in terms of practicality. The seat is on the firmer side, and the suspension feels rather stiff, both of which make riding it on pothole-ridden city streets a bit of a challenge. </p><p>The headlight is also very disappointing, with both its throw and intensity leaving much to be desired. You’ll need to be extra careful while riding at night, especially when the SR 175’s headlight is the only source of light illuminating the road ahead.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/piaggio-india-cuts-prices-of-vespa-zx-aprilia-sr-175-and-more-after-gst-20-update-121829/">Piaggio India Cuts Prices of Vespa ZX, Aprilia SR 175 and More After GST 2.0 Update</a></p>

<p>Unlike most scooters, the under-seat storage is also quite limited, and there are no utility pockets behind the apron either. And the engine, while spirited, transmits some vibrations through the floorboard. But, then, the SR 175 was never meant to be a sensible scooter with mild manners. It’s a scooter with attitude – raw, spirited, and built for those who value excitement over comfort and convenience. And in that regard, Aprilia has nailed it once again.

Aprilia SR 175 at autoX Awards: Best Bikes of 2025 Ranked

<p>Jorge Martin’s MotoGP 2025 season has suffered another major blow at the Japanese GP, with the Spanish rider forced to withdraw following a crash in Saturday’s sprint race at Motegi. While battling for position, Martin lost control and collided with his teammate Marco bezzecchi, sustaining a displaced fracture to his of the collarbone, forcing withdrawal and dealing a major blow to his 2025 MotoGP Champaign. The accident immediately ended his sprint effort, with trackside medics attending to him before transferring him to the circuit’s medical centre for assessment. The incident left Martin in clear discomfort, sparking concern among his Aprilia Factory Team and supporters who had expected him to mount a strong challenge in Japan. The setback comes at a key stage of the season, turning what was supposed to be a chance to recover lost ground into yet another difficult weekend for his title ambitions.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-japanese-gp-heres-when-where-and-how-to-watch-2025-motegi-race-in-india-121844/">MotoGP Japanese GP: Here’s When, Where and How to Watch 2025 Motegi Race in India</a></p><p>Further medical examinations confirmed that the injury was too severe for Martin to continue racing, with doctors advising against any participation in Sunday’s main race.

This positions the Aprilia portfolio as a strong choice for riders who value Italian design influences and sporty ride characteristics in the mid-capacity scooter space.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-sr-125-launched-at-rs-120-lakh-gets-new-55-inch-colour-tft-display-and-more-121297/">Aprilia SR 125 Launched at Rs 1.20 Lakh; Gets New 5.5-inch Colour TFT Display and More</a></p><p>Piaggio expects the revised pricing to help strengthen its market presence by appealing to a broader customer base, particularly younger buyers choosing style-oriented and performance-focused scooters.

Piaggio India Cuts Prices of Vespa ZX, Aprilia SR 175 and More After GST 2.0 Update

Piaggio lowers Vespa and Aprilia scooter prices, including SR 175 and Vespa S Tech 149, following GST 2.0 reforms, making premium scooters affordable nationwide.

<p>Aprilia has announced that it will not increase prices for the RS 457 and Tuono 457, even though both are now subject to a higher 40% GST under the revised tax regime effective&nbsp;from September 22, 2025. This strategy aligns with other manufacturers,&nbsp;including KTM, which has similarly absorbed the tax hike for its 390cc range.&nbsp;While buyers of motorcycles under or up to 350cc benefit from a reduced GST&nbsp;rate of 18%, those considering larger-capacity models now face a steeper tax, up from&nbsp;the earlier 31% (28% GST + 3% cess). With the festive season underway,&nbsp;many automakers have opted to shield customers from the impact of this increase,&nbsp;and Aprilia is one of them. Here's what you need to know about the RS 457 and Tuono 457.</p><h2>Aprilia RS 457, Tuono 457</h2><p>The ex-showroom price of the Tuono 457 in Maharashtra remains unchanged at Rs 3.95 lakh. Meanwhile, buyers of the RS 457 enjoy&nbsp;benefits worth over Rs 35,000, effectively offsetting the revised GST&nbsp;hike. This comprises a direct Rs 15,000 price absorption and a complimentary&nbsp;quick shifter valued at Rs 20,500, offered across all RS 457 models in India. As a result, the RS 457 is now available in Maharashtra at an ex-showroom price of Rs 4.35 lakh, with the quick shifter included as standard.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-sr-125-launched-at-rs-120-lakh-gets-new-55-inch-colour-tft-display-and-more-121297/">Aprilia SR 125 Launched at Rs 1.20 Lakh; Gets New 5.5-inch Colour TFT Display and More</a></p><p> The Aprilia Tuono 457 and RS 457 are built on the same platform, but their styling is different. The RS 457 targets track enthusiasts with its fully-faired body.&nbsp; Meanwhile, the Tuono 457's naked streetfighter look focuses on urban&nbsp;commuting and longer rides by prioritising rider&nbsp;comfort and versatility. Its exposed frame, aggressive radiator&nbsp;shrouds, and compact LED headlamp distinguish it from the&nbsp;RS 457’s signature triple-pod headlights. The Tuono’s riding posture&nbsp;also shifts from the RS 457’s low clip-ons to a higher, single-piece handlebar,&nbsp;resulting in a more upright and relaxed position.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-rsv4-x-gp-debuts-as-limited-edition-motogp-inspired-track-only-superbike-121716/">Aprilia RSV4 X-GP Debuts as Limited-Edition MotoGP-Inspired Track-Only Superbike</a></p><p>On the mechanical front, both Aprilia motorcycles have the same unit, a 457cc parallel-twin engine that produces&nbsp;47bhp and 43.5Nm and is paired with a six-speed transmission and an assist-and-slipper clutch. Both bikes come equipped with a 41mm inverted front fork and a rear monoshock, both&nbsp;of which can be adjusted for preload.</p>

No Price Change for Aprilia RS 457 and Tuono 457 Following GST Update

Aprilia has confirmed that the prices for the RS 457 and Tuono 457 will not change after GST 2.0. The bikes feature a 457cc parallel-twin engine with 47bhp and 43.5Nm. 

<p>I still remember the first time I rode the Aprilia SR 150,
almost a decade ago. Back then, I wasn’t particularly interested in scooters –
like most young riders, I only wanted to ride motorcycles. Yet the SR 150
impressed me like no other scooter at the time. With its compact proportions
and punchy performance, it made me realise that scooters could be thrilling
too. So, nine years later, when I found myself holding the keys to the SR 175
hpe – the latest in the SR series – I was really excited to don my helmet, hit
the streets, and rekindle that same spark of awe I’d felt all those years ago.</p><h2>Aprilia SR 175 Review: What’s Good?<br></h2><p>It does exactly what it’s meant to do — go fast. <em>Really</em>
fast.</p><p>
      <br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/Aprilia-SR-175-WEB-5-1758541594265.webp" alt="Aprilia SR 175 Riding front right.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The new 175cc engine packs enough punch to easily reach and
even surpass the 100 km/h mark, despite the company’s modest claim of a 95 km/h
top speed. Twist the throttle, and the scooter surges ahead with smooth yet
brisk acceleration. Even while going up flyovers, it shows no hesitation or
loss of pace. And if you’re cruising at 40 – 50 km/h and suddenly decide to
overtake, the SR 175 responds eagerly, almost as if it’s been waiting for the
command.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/tvs-ntorq-150-first-ride-review-the-best-150cc-scooter-121751/" target="_blank">TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review: The Best 150cc Scooter?</a></p><p>A fast scooter also needs an equally capable braking setup, and
the SR 175, thankfully, has it covered. The front disc, paired with
single-channel ABS, offers sharp, confidence-inspiring stopping power. The bite
is strong, and it helps the scooter shed speed quickly. Even the rear drum brake
impresses – it’s easily among the better ones in this segment.</p>
<p>Ride quality, too, deserves praise. Sudden potholes or
uneven stretches rarely unsettle the scooter; even at speeds north of 70 km/h,
the SR 175 maintains its composure and balance while going over potholes.</p><p>And then there’s the design – a definite head-turner. The SR
175 has a confident and composed demeanour, accentuated by its racy paint
schemes (Glossy Tech White, in our case) that draw curious glances wherever you
go. For the rider, the 5-inch TFT instrument cluster is equally satisfying – crisp,
well-laid-out, and featuring a Day / Night mode for improved visibility.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/Aprilia-SR-175-WEB-14-1758541806496.webp" alt="Aprilia SR 175 instrument cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>What I particularly like is the bi-directional toggle switch
on the right handlebar – it works much like the indicator switch. You can use
it to scroll through the different readouts, and if you happen to skip past the
one you wanted, just flick it in the opposite direction to go back. A small detail,
yes, but a thoughtful one nonetheless.</p><h2>Aprilia SR 175 Review: What’s Bad? <br></h2><p>The seat.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/Aprilia-SR-175-WEB-12-1758541756255.webp" alt="Aprilia SR 175 seat.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>A real letdown! The cushion is uncomfortably firm, and you
start feeling it within 10 – 15 minutes of riding. Its shape doesn’t help
either – the aggressive forward slope makes it hard to stay seated comfortably,
while the sharp hump in the middle prevents you from sliding back. Even the
pillion will start complaining after 20 – 30 minutes on the saddle. Simply put,
this is the worst seat I’ve experienced on any two-wheeler. Aprilia seriously
needs to fix this.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/hero-xoom-160-first-ride-is-it-truly-the-super-scooter-it-claims-to-be-121697/" target="_blank">Hero Xoom 160 First Ride: Is It Truly the 'Super Scooter' It Claims to Be?</a></p><p>Combine that with a stiff suspension setup, and you have a
scooter that delivers a noticeably harsh ride. Granted, a sporty scooter is
expected to have firm suspension for sharper handling – and to its credit, the
SR 175 manages bumps and speed breakers fairly well. The problem is that it’s <em>too</em>
tightly sprung. Even on relatively smooth tarmac, you can feel every tiny
imperfection through the handlebars.</p>
<p><span>Ergonomically, there are a few missteps, too. The
short floorboard will be uncomfortable for taller riders – anyone above 5’11”.
Practicality also takes a hit: there are no storage pockets on the apron, and
while there is a bag hook, the limited gap between the apron and the seat makes
it nearly useless for larger bags. The fuel filler is tucked under the seat,
which means removing the key from the ignition to open a separate slot on the
right side – a small but annoying inconvenience. And once you lift the seat,
you’ll find that the underseat storage isn’t spacious enough to fit even a
half-face helmet.</span>
      <br></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/Aprilia-SR-175-WEB-13-1758541700594.webp" alt="Aprilia SR 175 headlamp.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The headlamp is more ornamental than functional – it barely
illuminates the road ahead. Even with the high beam engaged, visibility remains
poor, and the LED’s limited throw makes night riding on unlit roads genuinely
troublesome. During the test, I also felt that the buttons on the left handlebar were oddly placed and required a stretch to reach comfortably.</p>
<p>Handling-wise, the larger tyres make the scooter slightly
hesitant to respond to quick steering inputs. Then there are vibrations – persistent
and noticeable. You can feel a constant buzz through the floorboard and the
handlebars, which only grows more apparent the longer you ride.</p><h2>Aprilia SR 175 Review: Verdict <br></h2><p>The SR 175 absolutely nails its primary brief of being a
fast scooter – it’s fast, thrilling, and unapologetically so. Twist the
throttle, and it rockets forward like it has something to prove. The brakes
match the performance, giving you the confidence to push it hard. But when it
comes to practicality, the SR 175 starts to lose ground. A comfortable seat is
the bare minimum any scooter should offer, and Aprilia’s failure in this regard
is a flaw too glaring to be ignored. But if you can, it’s a fantastic machine
for those who chase speed and excitement. And with its pricing, the SR 175
makes a seriously tempting case for itself.</p>
