2021 Aprilia Tuono 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2021 Aprilia Tuono 125 naked motorcycle, Aprilia features a 124.2 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.9 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 8,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120.8 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (8,250 rpm) and peak power (10,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Tuono 125 measures 144 kg (317 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.71 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 535 km (332 miles) between fill-ups.

Within MotoLibrary's Aprilia archive, this model family spans 11 indexed model years from 2004 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
