The Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR is a direct descendant of the Superbike RSV4 – and yet it can drive country roads. Actually very good.

The pimped-up 65-degree V4 hangs cleanly on the gas and can be gently opened after a smooth load change at the corner exit. The engine displacement did not spoil the usual good nursery.

When you sit up, the first thing you notice is the softer, padded bench. It sits much nicer than the previous model on the chest of drawers foam rubber.

New boss at the naked bikes?

Content of

With more power, more torque and – above all – more displacement, Aprilia freshened up the Tuono, which was renovated just two years ago. The first impression of the new Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR: Thunder.

The V4 engine responds to every throttle with a bassy rumble. Full, sonorous, aggressive. As if he wanted to shout the message out of his stainless steel silencer. People, listen up: more displacement, more peak power, more torque. I’m the boss again. It was only last year that the 173 hp KTM 1190 Super Duke stole the board position in the power-naked bike segment from the previously 170 hp Aprilia. And now? Owns the new one A.prilia Tuono V4 1100 RR 175 HP.

New boss at the naked bikes?

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR from 1000 to 1077 cm³, and each of the four connecting rods lost an impressive 100 grams. When it comes to the chassis, shorter suspension elements reduce the ride height by 20 millimeters (front) and 10 millimeters (rear), the swing arm has been lengthened by 4 millimeters, the handlebar width has been reduced by 16 millimeters and modified brake pads have been installed. Ultimately, the lamp mask received a revised look and is said to have starved 1.5 kilograms.

Pimped 65-degree V4 hangs cleanly on the gas

But despite all the diets or strength programs: First and foremost, the softer, padded bench is noticeable. The foam rubber chest of drawers sits much nicer than the previous model – and thanks to the lower ride height, it is also 15 millimeters lower. That creates sympathies that the engine immediately picks up. The pimped-up 65-degree V4 hangs cleanly on the gas and can be gently opened after a smooth load change at the corner exit. No hard scratching, no over-motivated performance boost, the engine displacement did not spoil the good nursery that this propellant has so far been used to. On the contrary. The Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR gets going as freshly as never before, pushing forward confidently and first-classly with the smallest twist of the throttle. Clack, clack, clack, the gearbox can be seamlessly stitched with the shift assistant and thus reinforces the feeling of lightness that the quadruplet constantly conveys. 

But ultimately, the lively appearance in the middle speed range only means the prelude for the second wind. Because from 7000 tours the V4 takes another deep breath. Up to 20 hp more than before should then be available at 8000 rpm. And this promise is made for the technicians. Seldom before has it been so easy to catapult yourself out of the bends with a wheelie as with the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR. Open the accelerator and hit 7000, the front becomes light and rises a hand’s breadth over the asphalt. The power wheelie can then be pulled through effortlessly and weightlessly. If it should, until the rev limiter puts an end to the eruptive experience of 12,000 tours. What a feeling! However, only if the Tuono driver leaves the traction control, which can be easily adjusted using a handlebar paddle in eight stages while driving, and the three-stage wheelie control in the most aggressive setting. If not, the experience is reduced to shy baby wheelies, which are already slowed down by the electronics.

ABS of the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR sporty tuned

Speaking of electronics. It takes a while for the Tuono driver to come to terms with the bits and bytes. The response behavior and drag torque can be regulated using the Sport, Track and Race driving modes, while ABS tuning can be done separately using the menu. It is not surprising that the anti-lock device in the sleek Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR is basically sporty. Even on the tamest level, the Italian still lifts her pretty bottom when the brakes come hard. It’s just a shame that the Aprilia, which is so upgraded in terms of electronics, does not yet have the blipper function, which is currently so popular with new developments, i.e. the downshifting without clutch supported by the on-board computer with double-declutching.

Be that as it may, because when it comes to the chassis it is also noticeable that the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR has become easier to handle. Much more velvety than the predecessor model, the noticeably softer coordinated Sachs spring elements absorb bumps and potholes, strike the right compromise between the necessary feedback and the comfort that makes sense for the hunt on bumpy country roads. OK then. Especially since the rest of the fine work again emphasizes the sporty attitude of the Tuono. Together with the less cranked handlebars, the lowered front also moves the driver a bit forward and puts a little more strain on the front wheel.

Always at the forefront on the country road

And so the domesticated Italian stabs precisely in the hairpin bends, holds the line precisely and neutrally. Enjoyment without regrets. Which also applies to the revised brakes. With the more aggressively designed pads, it is possible to brake into the corners with slightly less manual force and a more defined pressure point, and in this respect, too, enjoy the fine-tuning of the new Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR.

And forget that it is actually of secondary importance whether the finely honed Tuono on the data sheet is now back in the position of chief of the power-naked bikes. On the country road she is always right at the front. However, also on the price list. At 16,490 euros, the sleek Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR costs exactly one thousand more than for its predecessor. Or another 1500 euros more for the factory version. With fork, strut and steering damper from Ohlins, a 200 mm rear tire, the rear fairing of the RSV4 and elaborate paintwork, it costs 17,990 euros. The following applies to both: The temptation is great.
