2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Euro 5, thrills galore
The Tuono V4 features all the characteristics you would expect of a sporty road bike, making it perfect for short trips and long adventures. The raised handlebar and a more protective fairing are designed to ensure greater comfort, while passengers haven’t been forgotten either, with a comfy new pillion and lower foot pegs.
Add a pair of side panniers and the Tuono V4 is ready to accompany you to new horizons in style and comfort.
State-of-the-art electronics
The Aprilia electronics solutions continue to evolve and set the benchmark for even the most demanding riders. The new generation APRC, a control systems suite derived from the race world, is integrated with Ride-by-Wire throttle control, while electronic settings for Cruise Control and Traction Control are easier than ever to manage thanks to handy new buttons on the handlebars.
Instant feeling and maximum control
The Tuono V4’s spectacular aluminium frame is more manageable and stable than ever. As always, it harnesses the strength and flexibility of the welded forged and moulded elements, with the result being improved feeling and riding control.
The same constructive technology is employed on the new swingarm but is simplified, with just three welded components instead of the previous seven, and now features a lower reinforcement brace.
A clear and simple-to-use instrument panel
The color 5-inch TFT instrument panel makes information easy to read, whatever the time of day or night, and is a breeze to activate and manage via intuitive buttons.
Improved ergonomics, more enjoyable riding
The new design puts the focus on ergonomics with a new fuel tank, and the seat lowered by 9 mm, increasing spaciousness and creating a more comfortable fit with the fairing and a more natural and relaxed riding position, even for taller riders.
Happy rider, happy passenger
A raised handlebar, larger windshield and spacious saddle are clues, if needed, that the Tuono V4 is designed for travelling, while passengers also enjoy a more comfortable trip with a separate, comfy cushion, a functional handgrip and lower foot pegs so their legs can find a more comfortable position.
The new design is a contemporary, bold expression of the stylistic language that is typical of all Aprilia bikes, and is characterised by compact, pared-back shapes which enhance its sporty appearance. As is traditional, the new Tuono V4 models also feature the fairing attached to the frame, which is essential in order to ensure a lightweight, precise and responsive front end. Now, however, the design has been totally overhauled to offer more protection from the air flow, and now accommodates two overlapping wing surfaces which can increase the vertical load by 2.5kg at 250 km/h. The layout of the winglets, inspired by Aprilia’s experience in MotoGP, was developed in the wind tunnel, and enables increased road adherence and thus more precise cornering, an area in which previous versions of the Tuono V4 already excelled, as well as stability at high speeds. In addition, the new design helps to improve heat dissipation thanks to the presence of more powerful radiator fans, as well as increasing rider comfort, diverting the hot air flows away from the legs. The design of the side panels is also new; they are now better integrated with the style of the new tailpiece. The rear light cluster is lighter and simpler in its design, and is integrated into the license plate holder; all of the lighting functions are performed by the turn signals. This means that the license plate holder simply needs to be removed in order to prepare the bike for use on the track.
The set-up of the new Aprilia Tuono V4 models includes the lightweight lithium battery, the TFT 5” colour instrument panel with new graphics, and the backlit electric control blocks on the handlebar.
The Tuono V4 and Tuono V4 Factory are powered by the famous and multi-winning Aprilia four-cylinder 65° V engine with unique features. The narrow V shape has enabled the creation of an engine with an incredibly small longitudinal footprint, enabling the masses to be centralised and facilitating a compact chassis design. There is no other engine out there that can boast a success story spanning more than a decade. A platform that can meet the requirements of the most advanced sports rider, as well as representing an outstanding basis for the development of a racing engine. The Noale-made V4 has been increased from 1077 to 1099 cc, and now features a set of 52-mm throttle bodies. The exhaust system is also new, with the catalytic converter located in a different position, decreasing the heat that reaches the rider and making it easier to fit the type-approved slip-on exhaust, part of Aprilia’s extensive range of accessories. In accordance with the new Euro 5+ standard, the maximum power has now been increased to 180 hp at 11,800 rpm, with exceptional maximum torque values (121 Nm at 9,600 rpm), for even more efficient, adrenaline-fueled riding on both road and track.
The chassis of the Tuono V4 has always served as a point of reference within the category. Aprilia’s expertise in creating exceptional chassis is key here, and on the new Tuono V4 bikes, the design has reached an extraordinary level of maturity. For the first time ever, the aluminium dual-beam frame is painted in an edgy matte black shade on the Tuono V4.
For all new Aprilia V4s, a new chapter has begun when it comes to the on-board electronics which manage the active rider assistance systems. A new generation of control systems, which can also be bought as “in-app purchases” which do not require a visit to the dealership, offer the best electronic configuration to meet the rider’s requirements and riding style. For the first time, Aprilia has introduced a series of electronics packages that represent the optimal combination of performance and safety, adding various new features and adjustments to the Tuono V4 equipment, which is already impressive. The system helps the rider to reach their limits in total safety, thus enabling gradual improvements. This has been made possible by the introduction of new adaptive/predictive components on the wheelie, traction and yaw controls.
The predictive component of the algorhythm processes the vehicle parameters in real time (speed, lean angle, gears, throttle opening etc.) in order to prepare for the system intervention in advance, in a gradual, targeted manner. In addition to this, the cutting-edge software continuously analyses the vehicle’s dynamic responses and the individual riding style, offering even more refined, effective control.
The six-axis inertial platform, Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle and 3 riding modes which manage the 3 levels of Cornering ABS come as standard on both models, as well as the controls that are offered by the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control), the notable package of control systems directly derived from racing. This includes the following:
– ATC, Aprilia Traction Control, the traction control system that can be adjusted across 8 levels whilst riding without closing the throttle. This system now offers more effective intervention, and works in synergy with the new ASC (Aprilia Slide Control) system, which can be adjusted across 3 independent levels.
– (New) AWC, Aprilia Wheelie Control, the new wheelie control system that can be adjusted across 3 levels, with predictive functions: the intervention does not abruptly step in to mitigate a wheelie that has already started, but rather acts gently before the event occurs, to the benefit of performance. The adaptive function, dedicated to track sessions, learns the rider’s characteristics and adjusts the level of intervention required to ensure the best possible performance.
– AEM, Aprilia Engine Map, with 3 different mapping options to change the character and the way the engine delivers power.
– AEB, Aprilia Engine Brake, the engine braking control system that can be adjusted across 3 levels, with a specific algorhythm that optimises function whilst taking the lean angle into account.
– AQS, Aprilia Quick Shift, the electronic gearbox for super-fast shifts without closing the throttle or using the clutch, with a downshift function that lets the rider downshift without having to press the clutch. Also allows downshifting with the throttle open.
The Track Pack, which comes as standard on the Tuono V4 Factory, features the following:
– Race Dashboard, the instrumentation configuration dedicated to the track.
– ALC, Aprilia Launch Control, the launch control system for track use only, adjustable across 3 levels, with highly efficient operation strategies.
– APL, Aprilia Pit Limiter, the system that makes it possible to select and limit the maximum speed permitted in order to ride along the pit lane of racetracks, or to enable easy adherence to the speed limits on normal roads.
– (New) ASC, Aprilia Slide Control, the new adjustable function that can prevent and limit the lateral slide of the rear wheel. Like the new AWC, the ASC also features predictive functions.
The Comfort Pack, which comes as standard on the Tuono V4 Factory, features the following:
– Bending lights, the pair of additional headlights in the reflectors that illuminate the inside of the curve, increasing visibility when leaning.
– ACC, Aprilia Cruise Control, very convenient during longer rides, as it allows the rider to maintain the set speed without having to touch the throttle.
The Race Pack, only available on the Tuono V4 Factory, includes the GPS Module that also enables automatic detection of lap times on the track, just like in racing motorcycles. The Race Pack offers:
– Corner-by-corner function: as on the most advanced racing bikes, this system automatically changes the electronic ATC and AWC settings in accordance with those enabled by the rider before going out on the track. It is the most advanced version of the corner-by-corner electronics management system that Aprilia first introduced back in 2015.
The Suspension Pack, which requires the GPS Module, is only available on the Tuono V4 Factory, and offers:
– Corner-by-corner suspension function: This system automatically changes the electronic settings of the Öhlins Semi-Active Smart EC 2.0 suspension, in accordance with the settings enabled by the rider before going out on the track.
The Race Pack and the Suspension Pack use the new fourth-generation Aprilia MIA, Aprilia’s multimedia platform (offered as an accessory on both models) which enables smartphone connection to the bike, extending the functions of the instrumentation.
At the end of each track session, the data from the ECU can be downloaded and analysed on the computer – a telemetry system worthy of the best racing bikes.
