The brakes are one of the great strengths of the Aprilia Tuono V4R APRC ABS. Quick to react in spite of the wet, snappy but easy to dose and modulated by a finely regulating ABS, they instill absolute confidence in the driver.

In sport mode – the sharp driving mode is called “Track” – you can gently pull the accelerator at the apex of the wet bends and pull you forward with a deep hum.

Simulated everyday operation on a wet racetrack

It rained. Sometimes stronger, sometimes lighter, but the piste on the test track from San Martino del Lago near Cremona always stayed wet. This is important because it determines the driving impressions of the Aprilia Tuono V4R APRC ABS.

In order not to make the laps with her an incalculable risk, the hard-working Pirelli technicians had put on racing rain tires. They offer sensational grip in the wet, but impair steering precision and straight-line stability. At the same time, when it rains, properties of the engine come to the fore that are hardly relevant on the dry race track, everyday operation with the A.prilia Tuono V4R APRC ABS but simulate well.

Straight-line stability is the critical point with the Tuono

Shortly afterwards, the steering damper is in demand. Reinforced by the rain tires, bumps, a low crest in the middle of the straight, the performance of the Aprilia Tuono V4R APRC ABS and the difficulty of the driver shifting his weight forward caused by the wide handlebars make the steering uncomfortable. To mitigate this, the Aprilia mechanics installed Ohlins dampers for this test drive, and not only in connection with the rain tires, which are actually reserved for the factory. Therefore, the prognosis is daring: The directional stability should remain the neuralgic point of the Tuono even with series tires.

In sporty driving, it demands no less physical effort than an RSV4 – in the form of committed weight shifting.

The brakes are one of their great strengths. Quick to react in spite of the wet, snappy but easy to dose and modulated by a finely regulating ABS, they instill absolute confidence in the driver. The other components of the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control), i.e. traction control, wheelie control and the control of the engine braking torque in push mode, work discreetly and effectively.

After getting used to the conditions, you can use the electronic helpers quite freely. When braking, when engaging the clutch after shifting down several gears, when accelerating – some “control” is always working. And helps the driver to concentrate on the essentials: the route and what’s next. However, this privilege is not cheap; including ancillary costs, the Aprilia Tuono V4R APRC ABS is available for 15,490 euros.
