At the heart of the 2013 Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC naked motorcycle, Aprilia pairs a 999.6 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 167.3 HP (122.1 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 111.5 Nm (82.2 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 167.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (9,500 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Tuono V4 R APRC measures 183 kg (403 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.91 HP/kg (1.09 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 8.07 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 211 km (131 miles) between fill-ups.
