Free Test Rides On The Aprilia Tuono V4r APRC

Press Release:

Be one of the first to ride the stunning Aprilia Tuono V4R APRC at your local Aprilia Dealer on May 21st & 22nd.

Aprilia are holding a free national test ride weekend to celebrate the launch of the critically-acclaimed Tuono V4 R APRC. Contact your local dealer [www.apriliadealers.com] to book your ride now.

Visitors to Aprilia dealers that weekend will also be able to enter a free prize draw to win a full set of Alitalia Aprilia race wear and 2 Aprilia Alitalia VIP passes to Silverstone WSB.

The prize pot includes a soft shell jacket, fleece, polo shirt, work shirt and t-shirt worth a total of £300, as well as the chance to enjoy money-can’t-buy VIP treatment in the Aprilia Alitalia hospitality suite.

This test ride event marks the arrival of the Tuono V4 R APRC in Aprilia dealerships across the UK, so for many it will be the first opportunity to see the all-new Italian super naked in the flesh.

The Tuono V4 R is available with or without class-leading Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) technology, but to give riders a chance to experience this amazing system first hand, all test rides will be on APRC-equipped models.

What is APRC? - Aprilia Performance Ride Control is an engine torque control system that helps improve performance and enhance safety for the rider. It includes:
  • Aprilia Traction Control (ATC) – the most advanced traction control system on the market. It’s the only motorcycle TC system that can be adjusted on the move instantly without shutting the throttle and automatically adjusts to suit if you change your tyres. Features 8 level settings, so you can turn it down for track use or up for wet road riding on the go.
  • Aprilia Wheelie Control (AWC) – Identifies the start of wheelie and controls it to maximise acceleration whilst keeping the front end down. Features 3 settings.
  • Aprilia Launch Control (ALC) – Optimises acceleration from a standing start. For track/race use, with 3 settings.
  • Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS) - for ultra-fast clutchless up-shifting.

The Tuono gives away very little to its RSV4 sibling in terms of pure performance (167bhp @ 11,500rpm) but a host of engine tweaks make it more flexible for the road.

Changes include new valve timing, 20mm longer fixed intake ducts, crankshaft flywheel with increased inertia for improved smoothness and overall balance and shortened gear ratios for the first three gears. Plus the Tuono V4 R features latest generation Ride by Wire throttle control with three rider-selectable maps (Track, Sport and Road).

The RSV4 frame has also been modified specifically for use in the Tuono V4 R. This led to changes in chassis geometry, including modifying the trail and lowering the engine in the frame to lower the centre of gravity, for exceptional high speed stability.

The Tuono V4 R comes equipped with some of the best components on the market: Brembo brakes with radial calipers and 320mm floating discs at the front (220mm at the rear), aluminium wheels with an all-new three spoke design (2kg less than the five spoke version), fully-adjustable Sachs USD 43mm front forks and a Sachs shock absorber with a separate piggy back nitrogen canister (adjustable for spring preload, compression & rebound damping).

The Tuono V4 R is £10,628 (OTR) while the Tuono V4 R APRC version is £11,628 (OTR).
