<p>Jorge Martin has officially ruled out a potential Honda switch and confirmed he will stay with Aprilia Racing for the 2026 MotoGP season. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Brno Grand Prix, Martin ended weeks of speculation about his future. While he had earlier indicated plans to activate a release clause in his contract, Aprilia maintained he was still committed to them for next year. Now, the Spanish rider has decided to continue with the Italian team.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-ten-years-later-how-jules-bianchi-changed-the-sport-forever-121281/">F1: Ten Years Later, How Jules Bianchi Changed the Sport Forever</a></p><p>Martin, who is returning to action after a long injury break, spoke openly about the difficulties he has faced this season. The 2024 MotoGP World Champion struggled with the Aprilia  RS-GP's performance and slipped outside the top three in the standings, prompting him to consider a move, reportedly to Honda. But with a renewed focus and recovery behind him, Martin is now ready to push forward with Aprilia.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Jorge-Martin-On-RS-GP-1747913631791.webp" alt="Jorge Martin On RS-GP.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The contract situation became tense when Martin attempted to leave after just one year with the team. Aprilia claimed this was a violation, pointing out that he had only raced once in Qatar before his injury. The manufacturer insisted that the contract still held, and even threatened legal action to block any move to a rival team, including the speculated Honda deal.</p><p>Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta also got involved, saying Martin wouldn’t be cleared to ride for another team unless the dispute with Aprilia was resolved. That added pressure likely played a role in Martin’s final decision to stay. With the legal and contractual hurdles now out of the way, both Martin and Aprilia can shift their focus back to the 2025 season.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-marc-marquez-cruises-to-69th-win-at-sachsenring-in-chaos-filled-german-gp-121212/">MotoGP: Marc Marquez Cruises to 69th Win at Sachsenring in Chaos-Filled German GP</a></p><p>As the MotoGP paddock heads into the Brno GP weekend, attention turns to Martin’s performance on track. With the Honda switch off the table and his future with Aprilia confirmed, he can now concentrate on racing, regain his rhythm, and fight to return to the top of the standings.</p>

MotoGP: Jorge Martin to Stay with Aprilia for 2026 Season

MotoGP Champion Jorge Martin confirms Aprilia stay for 2026 after contract dispute. Returning to Brno, he looks to bounce back after injury setback.

<p>Aprilia has launched the SR 175 in India as a new model in its scooter range. It replaces the SR 160 and is priced at Rs 1.26 lakh (ex-showroom). The design remains similar to the previous model, but Aprilia has added two new colour options—Matte Prismatic Dark and Glossy Tech White. The scooter also gets new decals to mark its entry as an updated version.</p><p>The SR 175 gets a larger 174.7 cc engine, which produces 13.08bhp at 7,200 rpm and 14.14Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. This is an increase of 2bhp and 0.7Nm compared to the SR 160. Aprilia has retained the CVT gearbox, which helps maintain a smooth and steady power delivery. The engine update puts the SR 175 closer to other scooters in the 160-175cc segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-rs-457-tuono-457-get-extended-warranty-coverage-in-india-120914/">Aprilia RS 457, Tuono 457 Get Extended Warranty Coverage in India</a></p><p>A major feature of the SR 175 is the 5.5-inch TFT instrument cluster. This unit comes from Aprilia’s RS 457 series and supports multiple layouts and Bluetooth connectivity. Riders can connect their smartphones to the display, access calls and view navigation. This update makes the scooter more usable for riders who prefer connected features.</p><p>The SR 175 continues to use the same suspension and frame setup as before. It rides on 14-inch wheels fitted with 120-section tyres. The braking setup includes a disc at the front and a drum at the rear, with single-channel ABS. The suspension includes a telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear, giving the scooter a setup suitable for daily use.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-tuono-457-vs-yamaha-mt-03-spec-comparison-whats-different-120054/">Aprilia Tuono 457 vs Yamaha MT-03 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>With the engine upgrade and the addition of new features, the SR 175 now enters the same space as the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160. While the price is higher than some rivals, the combination of power, technology, and design may appeal to users looking for a functional and feature-rich scooter.</p>

Aprilia SR 175 Launched at Rs 1.26 Lakh; Replaces SR160, Gets RS 457-style TFT and More

Aprilia SR 175 launched in India with a 174.7 cc engine, TFT display, Bluetooth, and updated styling to rival Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160.

<p>MotoGP champion Jorge Martin is preparing for his long-awaited return to racing at the Czech Grand Prix later this month. The Spaniard completed 64 laps during a private test at Misano, marking a major step in his recovery. Aprilia confirmed his performance was encouraging, although a final medical check will determine if he can race in Brno from July 18 to 20. This comeback follows a difficult few months for Martin, who was sidelined after a crash during his debut race weekend with Aprilia in Qatar, suffering a collapsed lung and bruised ribs.</p>

<p>Martin’s 2025 season has been anything but smooth. His troubles began with a pre-season crash that left him with wrist and ankle fractures, forcing him to miss the first three rounds. When he returned in Qatar, he finished 16th in the Sprint but crashed out of the main race. So far, he has only one race appearance this season.</p>

<p>Off the track, Martin’s situation remains tense. He has openly expressed his wish to leave Aprilia before the 2026 season, despite being under a two-year contract. Aprilia, however, insists on honouring the deal and has even threatened legal action if Martin tries to leave early.</p>
<p>Aprilia has faced a challenging season without Martin. His teammate Marco Bezzecchi is sixth in the championship, 186 points behind leader Marc Marquez, who has dominated the season with 307 points. The team had high hopes for Martin, but his absence has left them scrambling for results. He will also miss the German Grand Prix, marking the season’s halfway point.</p>

Jorge Martin targets Czech GP return after injury layoff, but contract tensions with Aprilia and missed races cast uncertainty over his 2025 MotoGP season.

<p>Jorge Martin, the reigning MotoGP champion, is finally set to ride a MotoGP bike again. He’ll be testing the Aprilia RS-GP25 at Misano in a private session on Wednesday, July 9. This will be his first time back since his brutal crash in Qatar on April 13, where he fractured ribs and suffered lung damage. That Qatar crash changed everything for Martin. It ruled him out of multiple races and disrupted what was supposed to be a strong title defence. He only returned to the track last week, riding a Superbike in Barcelona—his first time on two wheels in three months. While he’s still not fit enough to race at this weekend’s German Grand Prix, doctors have given him the green light to ride at Misano.</p>

<p>The timing of Martin’s return is interesting. Off the track, he’s in talks with Aprilia about a possible 2026 exit clause in his contract. The 27-year-old’s season has been stop-start, having already missed pre-season testing and early races due to separate crashes in Sepang and a Supermoto training accident. For Martin, the Misano test is more than a recovery ride, it’s a chance to show he’s still got what it takes.</p>

<p>This year has tested Martin’s resilience. From his first crash at Sepang to the Supermoto fall that followed, he’s barely had a chance to race. The Misano test could help him find his rhythm again. Though his Superbike outing in Barcelona went well, MotoGP is a different beast, and many will be watching to see how his body holds up under pressure.</p>

Aprilia RS 457, Tuono 457 Get Extended Warranty Coverage in India

Aprilia has increased the warranty coverage to four years or 48,000 km, up from the earlier three years or 36,000 km, following customer feedback.


<p>Aprilia is under pressure as the RS457 motorcycle faces multiple customer complaints in India over engine failure issues. Many owners have reported problems on social media, calling for full replacements. These claims have sparked concern and damaged the reputation of the RS457. Positioned in the mid-capacity sportbike segment, it was initially well-received for its lightweight design and solid performance. However, repeated reports of engine trouble have emerged in recent months, forcing Aprilia India to release an official statement. The rising number of complaints has shifted focus from its successful launch to its long-term reliability.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/aprilia-rs-457-vs-kawasaki-ninja-500-vs-yamaha-yzf-r3-117116/">Aprilia RS 457 vs Kawasaki Ninja 500 vs Yamaha YZF-R3: 300km Road Trip Comparison</a></p><p>The statement states: 'At Aprilia, our commitment extends beyond delivering exhilarating motorcycles; we are equally dedicated to providing unparalleled after-sales support and service.

The Aprilia RS 457 – don’t even get me started on how much I adore that motorcycle, or I’ll end up rambling about it like a broken record.

<p>So, why haven’t I taken the plunge yet? Well, as much as I love the RS 457, there’s no denying that it’s a bit too racy and committed to be an everyday companion.</p>

<p>Aprilia is well aware of this conundrum – one that I, and many others like me, find ourselves in. In fact, if Aprilia is to be believed, they knew it from the get-go, which is why they started the development of a more street-friendly version of the RS 457 almost simultaneously with the fully-faired version. The result? The arrival of the brand-new Aprilia Tuono 457 in just over a year after the RS 457 made its market debut.</p>

<p>Now, the question is – does this spine-friendly upright roadster version of the RS 457 offer the same soul-stirring riding experience of its fully-faired counterpart? We took it for a spin around Nandi Hills in Karnataka to find out.</p>

<h2>Bare It All</h2>

<p>The naked version comes without the fairing – a rather obvious fact, but one that makes a huge difference. You see, while the RS 457 mimics the bigger RS versions in the family, the Tuono 457 doesn’t quite share the same family resemblance with other Tuono models. It follows a completely different design philosophy, featuring a bug-eyed face instead of the semi-faired design of the current Tuono 660 and 1100. Aprilia says the Tuono 457’s face is inspired by older Tuonos – there’s definitely a hint of the 1000R in its design, especially with that chin spoiler. But if I’m being honest, it doesn’t quite do it for me. That Anglo-Indian face of the Tuono, well, it’s an acquired taste for sure.</p>

    </div>
  
<p>The next big change is the wide, tall handlebar, which replaces the racy clip-ons of the RS 457. This provides more leverage and room for the rider. That said, the foot-peg position and the seat haven’t been updated, which means that you still sit in a slightly forward-leaning posture. At 5’9” (or thereabouts), I didn’t find this to be a problem, but taller riders may find the rider’s triangle a bit tight.</p>

<p>The tank has been redesigned, although it has more or less the same capacity (12.7 litres vs 13 litres). The kerb weight remains unchanged at 175kg. This may come as a surprise to some, but Aprilia says that the headlamp unit and handlebar offset the weight savings from losing the fairing. Plus, the exhaust now houses extra sensors to comply with OBD2B regulations.</p>

    </div>
  
<p>The quality of switchgear is impressive – just like on the RS 457 – and the Tuono also retains the same 5.0-inch TFT display as its fully-faired sibling. It also gets the same set of electronics, including three riding modes, switchable ABS, and three levels of traction control. Unlike the RS 457, which gets three liveries to choose from, the Tuono comes in only two shades – Piranha Red and Puma Grey. Between the two, I prefer the latter, for it does a better job of highlighting the Tuono’s design elements.</p>

<h2>Thunder-current</h2>

<p>On the mechanical front, the Tuono is powered by the same 457cc parallel-twin engine as the RS 457, churning out identical power and torque figures – 47bhp and 43.5Nm. The 6-speed gearbox – with the optional bi-directional quick-shifter – is the same, and so are its ratios. What has changed crucially though is the final drive – the Tuono’s rear sprocket features a tooth more than the RS 457’s (44T vs 43T), giving it snappier acceleration at low revs. According to Aprilia, the Tuono is quicker to hit 50km/h from a standstill than the RS, although its 0 – 100km/h is slower by around a second.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  
<p>Once on the move, the Tuono offers the same heady performance that made us such big fans of the RS 457. The parallel-twin motor has a bottomless pit of torque – or so it seems – because every time you twist the throttle, it all comes gushing out. Not to mention, the throaty induction noise and the deep baritone of the exhaust make for a spine-tingling experience. The acceleration is brutal, and the Tuono lunges forward like a scalded cat after each gear shift. And since it’s a naked bike, you can feel the front end go light every time you crack open the throttle after a shift. It’s a lively, mischievous thing, this!</p>

<p>Now, while we didn’t time the Tuono 457’s 0-100km/h acceleration, it was evident that it’s a wee bit slower compared to the RS 457, thanks to its slightly compromised top-end in each gear because of the bigger rear sprocket, and minimal wind protection. However, Aprilia claims that the overall top speed remains unaffected, which means that you should still be able to hit 180km/h or thereabouts, provided you find a long, empty stretch of road. That said, brace yourself for an unforgiving windblast.</p>

    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  
<p>As for NVH levels, the Tuono’s parallel-twin motor is a smooth operator until about 6,000rpm. Post that, it does tend to jingle and jangle, with vibrations creeping through the handlebar and even levers. However, if you ask me, I’d say these are good kinds of vibrations – ones that add to the bike’s character. Besides, when you’re wringing this twin motor’s neck at 10,000rpm, the rush of speed is so intoxicating that the vibrations are the last thing on your mind.</p>

<h2>Friendly Fire</h2>

<p>The Tuono features the same aluminium frame, along with the pre-load adjustable front and rear suspension comprising a 41mm upside front fork &amp; a rear monoshock, respectively. The wheel size, tyres, wheelbase, rake, and trail also remain unchanged. Yet, despite these similarities, the Tuono’s handling feels markedly different, all thanks to its handlebar and upright ergonomics.</p>

<p>The Tuono is an easy motorcycle to get to grips with, especially when you’re riding in the city. The seat height of 800mm – identical to that of the RS 457 – allows shorter riders to flat-foot with ease, while leverage from the handlebar makes slicing through tight gaps effortless. The ride quality isn’t exactly plush, since the suspension setup hasn’t been altered much, but it does feel relatively more absorbent on our bad roads. The ride quality is jittery at low speeds, especially when the road surface isn’t silky smooth.</p>
 
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741844849696-mekq-Aprilia-Tuono-457-rear-light.webp" alt="Aprilia Tuono 457-rear-light.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
    
<p>Throw the Tuono around a bend, and it doesn’t disappoint. The front end offers incredible feedback, the turn-in is scalpel-sharp, and it tracks corners with near-telepathic precision. Compared to the RS 457, which sometimes feels twitchy, I found the Tuono to be more planted and composed. Similarly, mid-corner bumps don’t upset the motorcycle – something that I have noticed and experienced with the RS 457 on multiple occasions. Frankly speaking, I found the Tuono’s handling to be more confidence-inspiring on our imperfect roads than the RS 457’s keep-you-on-the-edge theatrics.</p>

<p>As for its braking performance, it has the same hardware as the RS 457 – 320mm front disc with a 4-piston calliper and 220mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. I found the brakes to be adept at halting the momentum confidently as and when needed. During the ride, some riders / journos reported brake fade, but honestly, I didn’t experience any. And trust me I was riding it hard and fast in the hills, for it is a motorcycle that begs to be ridden fast and redlined at every opportunity.</p>

<h2>Verdict</h2>

<p>The Tuono 457 builds on the same virtues as the RS 457, so it was almost a foregone conclusion of sorts that it would be a stellar motorcycle. And after riding it, I can confirm – that’s exactly the case. At ₹3.95 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s substantially more affordable than the RS 457 (₹4.20 lakh). And if you think about it logically, it gets all the goodies of the RS 457 but in a friendlier, more useable package.</p>

<p>So, would it be fair to say that the Tuono 457 is better suited for our riding conditions? Absolutely! But does that mean I would pick it over the RS 457? Well, that’s where it gets tricky. Objectively, it’s the better motorcycle of the two, but it doesn’t quite have the appeal of its fully-faired sibling. And that face? Well, let’s just say that it will take some time to grow on me.</p>

<p>As luck would have it, I find myself in love with both these Aprilias – yet still unable to decide which 457 to buy. And if I wait any longer, my dilemma is going to get even worse, for the Tuareg 457 is already in the works. Although, if I have to be honest, it's a pretty good problem to have, isn't it? </p>

<p>----</p>

<p>The turn-in is scalpel-sharp, and it tracks corners with near-telepathic precision</p>
