Competing with the Best
In the Indian market, the Aprilia Tuono 457 takes on some fierce rivals, including the KTM Duke 390, BMW G310R, Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, and the Kawasaki Ninja 500. While each of these bikes has its own strengths, the Tuono 457 brings a unique blend of Italian design, cutting-edge features, and exhilarating performance that sets it apart.
The Big Launch and Expert Opinions
At the grand launch event, Bollywood actor and biking enthusiast John Abraham expressed his excitement, saying, “Like many other bikers, I was also hoping for a Tuono 457 to be introduced in India. The Aprilia Tuono has a legendary portfolio, and I am sure the new Tuono 457 will completely dominate the naked segment. The bike is agile, powerful, and looks distinct and incredible, all things that one expects from Aprilia. I think this will be the perfect city and urban riding bike, and I can’t wait to get this bike home.”
Diego Graffi, Chairman and MD of Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd, also shared his thoughts, stating, “I am thrilled to introduce the Aprilia Tuono 457 to India, a year after we launched the segment disruptor Aprilia RS457. There were a lot of inquiries for a naked sibling to the RS, and Tuono 457 is the latest heir to a tradition of excellence in high-handlebar sports bikes, offering a superb, adrenaline-filled ride. The Tuono 457 has a number of differences that render it all the more exclusive: it is the only bike in the range that does not have a fairing integrated into the frame. In its place—for the first time on a Tuono—is a pared-back light cluster, worthy of a true naked bike. It’s the most non-conformist and rebellious Tuono ever, retaining the core features of all Tuono bikes but with an all-new look designed to satisfy the needs and desires of the youngest generation.”
The Perfect Urban Companion
If you’re looking for a bike that blends style, performance, and practicality, the Aprilia Tuono 457 is a fantastic choice. Its lightweight frame, advanced electronics, and powerful engine make it a dream ride for city commutes as well as highway sprints. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a young enthusiast, this bike promises an exciting experience that stands out from the crowd.
So, what are you waiting for? If the Tuono 457 has sparked your interest, book your test ride soon and experience the thrill yourself. This naked sportbike is all set to make waves in the Indian market, and you wouldn’t want to miss being a part of it!
