The motorcycle retains the sharp streetfighter design seen on the standard model, featuring an aggressive front fascia, muscular fuel tank, and exposed bodywork. The signature LED headlamp setup gives it a modern and premium appearance while improving visibility.
The bike is equipped with a 5-inch full-color TFT instrument cluster that supports smartphone connectivity and provides access to ride-related information.
The display is crisp and easy to read under various lighting conditions. The Tuono 457 is built around an aluminum frame that helps keep weight under control while improving handling characteristics. Its upright riding posture and wide handlebar make it suitable for both city riding and highway touring.

The motor produces 47.6 bhp of maximum power and 43.5 Nm of peak torque, paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox. The engine delivers strong low-end and mid-range performance, making it enjoyable in both urban traffic and open-road conditions.
The motorcycle benefits from a 270-degree crankshaft configuration, giving it a distinctive exhaust note and improved character. Performance remains one of its strongest selling points, with quick acceleration and excellent throttle response. Aprilia has also tuned the engine to offer refined highway cruising capabilities.
