2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 2021 2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 Pros, Cons, Recalls & Verdict

βœ“ 5 Positive Owner Reviews (Pros)
  • Magnificent 1,077cc 65-degree V4 engine delivers 175 hp of visceral power and unrivaled acoustic character
  • Enhanced road-touring ergonomics with a taller windscreen, raised handlebar risers, and more spacious passenger accommodation
  • Advanced APRC electronic package featuring six distinct riding modes, multi-level traction control, and cornering ABS
  • MotoGP-derived inverted underslung swingarm increases rear chassis stiffness and mechanical grip
  • Full-color 5-inch TFT instrument display with intuitive navigation and smartphone connectivity compatibility
! 5 Negative Owner Reviews & Known Issues (Cons)
  • Engine generates massive thermal output that warms the rider's legs uncomfortably in city gridlock
  • High rate of fuel consumption results in relatively frequent fuel stops during spirited journeys
  • Still retains a firm, performance-focused ride despite its touring-oriented ergonomic tweaks
  • Optional side panniers and touring accessories carry a substantial price tag from the manufacturer
  • Wide turning circle and heavy clutch pull make tight low-speed maneuvers in traffic somewhat taxing
β˜… Editor's Technical Verdict (2021)

The 2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 represents a brilliant reimagining of the standard Tuono formula, purposefully differentiating itself from the track-focused Factory version with road-touring ergonomics and enhanced weather protection. By incorporating a larger windscreen, elevated handlebars, and a more generous passenger seat alongside the thunderous 175 hp V4 engine, Aprilia created the ultimate long-distance sport touring weapon. While its thermal heat dissipation and high fuel consumption remain factors in urban environments, its cornering prowess and open-road velocity are breathtaking. It is designed for the high-mileage sport rider who demands superbike thrills without sacrificing all-day touring comfort.

In factory specification, peak output is rated at 175 HP (128.7 kW) at 11,350 rpm while maximum torque reaches 121 Nm (89.2 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed transmission, a multiplate wet clutch with mechanical slipper system clutch, chain final drive. Internal cylinder geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 52.3 mm (3.2 x 2.1 inches), a 13.6:1 compression ratio, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel delivery managed via injection, airbox with front dynamic air intakes, 4 weber-marelli 48-mm throttle bodies with 4 injectors and latest generation ride-by-wire engine management that the rider can select on the fly: t (track), s (sport), r (race). With a specific output of 162.5 HP per liter and a 2,350 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (11,350 rpm), the engine character places it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing and high-RPM overrun dominate.

On the scales, the 2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.95 HP/kg (1.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and dimensional geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height β€” resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced cornering agility and high-speed highway composure, and 125 mm (4.9 in) of minimum ground clearance. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated fuel consumption of 7.71 L/100 km (30.5 US mpg) provides an estimated theoretical touring range of roughly 240 km (149 miles) between fill-ups.
