Aprilia Revamps Motorcycle Range for 2025
Most attending motorcycle companies introduce upgrades and new bikes at the EICMA show. Aprilia, however, went a step further and revealed a revamp of its entire current motorcycle lineup.
The highlight of the announcement is likely the all-new Aprilia Tuareg Rally. Inspired by the victorious Aprilia bike in the Africa Eco Rally, the Tuareg Rally is promised to be as close as you can get to a full rally bike while still remaining street legal.
Yet, the company also announced upgrades to all of its current offerings, from the standard Tuaregs to Tuonos and more. Let’s take a look at what changes we’ll see in the 2025 Aprilia range.
2025 Aprilia Tuareg
The 2025 Tuareg Rally is the new addition to the Tuareg line. As mentioned, it’s closely derived from the competition version to offer a capable rough rider to demanding enduro motorcyclists.
Looking at the motorcycle, its thicker aluminum skidplate and high mudguard make it immediately clear this is a serious off-road machine. The bike boasts a new chain guard to keep the final drive in place even in the most demanding conditions.
Aprilia has raised the seat height by 0.8 inches to give riders an easier time transitioning from a sitting to a standing riding position. Together with the seat, the handlebar is taller for improved handling, and it comes with metal-cored hand guards to protect your mittens.
The spoked wheels feature Ergal narrow rims and come shod with treaded tires with inner tubes. Aprilia has kept the suspension identical to a standard Tuareg (Kayaba components with 9.4 inches of travel) but has tuned them to be stiffer. What you lose in riding comfort, you gain in improved handling on rough terrain.
The Rally also features an SC Project exhaust system with a titanium silencer. With the exhaust and revamped wheel assembly, the Rally version’s weight has dropped from 449 to 438 pounds.
Finally, we have the unique colorway that’s a close replica of the paint job Aprilia’s winning Africa Eco Rally bike sported. The look is completed by gold details on the fork, rims, and handlebar.
Although the Tuareg Rally hogged the spotlight, the regular Tuareg range also received updates. They (along with the Rally) now have unique engine mapping to provide instant throttle response. Additionally, the throttle bodies of the 660 twin engine now have a 52mm diameter instead of the old 44mm.
Aprilia has slightly changed the look of the Tuareg’s iconic horizontal headlamp assembly, which now has a slightly slimmer structure without the previous lower lip for a more streamlined look. The bikes are available in two new colorways: Tornado Green and Hailstorm White, both with a red frame.
2025 Aprilia RSV4
Aprilia’s RSV4 was already a powerful track bike, but the 2025 upgrade pushes things even further. The company has upgraded the bike’s Noale V4 engine, and it now produces 220 hp at 13,100 rpm and 92 lb-ft of torque at 10,800 rpm.
According to Aprilia, these changes make the RSV4 the world’s most powerful homologated production superbike.
Together with the new engine, the RSV4 and the up-spec RSV4 Factory have received next-generation engine control and performance control systems in the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) package. As is the style of the times, they come as individually bought in-app purchases. We suppose that at least lets you activate only the systems you really need.
The bikes now feature predictive rider aids that continuously monitor the bike’s performance, with the system including traction control, engine mapping settings, engine braking, and a quickshifter. As new additions, the standard RSV4 has three-level wheelie control settings, while the RSV4 Factory also gets slide control to limit rear wheel slip.
For controlling the new electronics package, the RSV4 features a five-inch TFT screen with upgraded graphics, a fuel gauge (at long last), and backlit handlebar controls. The RSV4 Factory adds a track-specific instrument cluster configuration.
Good aerodynamics are essential for true speed, and Aprilia has upgraded the RSV4’s styling to reduce drag. You’ll now find two stacked winglet configurations under the windshield—derived from MotoGP bikes—which should not only improve acceleration but also direct engine heat away from the rider.
To stop the greased lightning, the Brembo brakes now sport Hypure calipers, which Aprilia says improve stopping power while being lighter than the previous Stylema calipers.
The standard RSV4 is available in Poison Yellow (confusingly, mostly gray with yellow accents) and Stingray Blue with red highlights. The RSV4 Factory comes in Dark Kraken.
2025 Aprilia Tuono 457
The Tuareg Rally wasn’t the only new motorcycle Aprilia announced at EICMA 2024. With the 2025 Aprilia Tuono 457, the company is looking to entice new riders to jump into the Italian marque’s stable.
The Tuono 457 is a naked street bike, designed from scratch to have a sporty, aerodynamic look. Within the body panels is encased the only aluminum motorcycle frame in this segment.
The frame is relatively slim, and the 31.5-inch seat is tapered to enhance rider control of the machine. Using the engine as a load-bearing element, Aprilia promises the frame makes the bike lightweight for speed yet rigid for easy handling for beginners.
Speaking of the engine, the Tuono 457 relies on the same 457cc powerplant as the RS 457. The liquid-cooled parallel-twin generates 47.6 ponies at 9,400 rpm and 32 lb-ft of torque at 6,700 rpm. In terms of pure numbers, that puts it toward the top of its class performance-wise.
The suspension components consist of a 41mm fork with 4.7 inches of travel and a rear shock with 5.1 inches of travel. Both are adjustable for preload.
For brakes, the Tuono 457 comes with a 320mm radially-mounted front disc and a 220mm rear disc with Brembo ByBre calipers. A switchable Bosch ABS system assists in braking duties.
Other electronic rider aids include three ride modes, including Eco, Sport, and Rain. The modes control the degree of traction control interference (which can be adjusted independently as well). The systems can be controlled through the five-inch color TFT display, which can be upgraded to support smartphone connectivity.
The Tuono 457 comes in Piranha Red and Puma Gray colorways.
2025 Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory
Traditionally, the Factory models have been up-spec versions of standard Aprilia bikes. Now, the company has broken from precedent and axed the standard Tuono 660 from its catalog. In 2025, the Tuono 660 Factory is the only available version of the motorcycle.
With the status change, the Tuono 660 Factory (does it really need the Factory tag anymore at this point?) has received some performance and component upgrades. The 660cc twin-cylinder engine now produces 105 horsepower, thanks to new throttle bodies and other engine upgrades.
The suspension components have been swapped for Öhlins models. In the front, we have a 43mm NIX 30 fork, while the STX 46 rear shock features a built-in reservoir. Both units are adjustable for rebound, compression damping, and preload.
In electronics, the bike has gained launch control, swiped from competition motorcycles. Otherwise, the electronics package remains the same, boasting such things as traction control, cruise control, multi-map cornering-ABS, a quickshifter, and wheelie control, among others. Like with the other models, the systems can be adjusted with the new five-inch TFT screen.
2025 Aprilia Tuono V4
The big boy of the Tuono family, the Tuono V4, has received a slew of upgrades as well. The changes are essentially the same that we saw on the RSV4, with an upgraded engine, new design, and additional electronic goodies.
The V4 powerplant now puts out 180 hp at 11,800 rpm and 89 lb-ft of torque at 11,800 rpm. To get the most out of the engine power, the Tuono V4’s upgraded design now features dual wing surfaces (like the RSV4) that reduce wind resistance and aid in heat dissipation.
Also, similar to the RSV4, the Tuono V4 models have received the next-generation predictive APRC ride control system. The standard bike got the wheelie control feature, while the Factory model also adds slide control.
A unique optional feature on the Tuono V4 Factory is the Race Pack, which adds a GPS module for automatic lap-time detection and corner-by-corner automatic traction and wheelie control. The additional Suspension Pack further adds automatic suspension setting adjustment.
The standard Aprilia Tuono V4 is available in Shark Gray and Scorpion Yellow, while the Factory model is painted the distinctive Dark Kraken.
2025 Aprilia RS 660
Last, but not least, we have the 2025 RS 660 models. Their upgrades echo those seen in the RSV4 and Tuono V4.
To reiterate, the RS 660 bikes now have redesigned bodywork with the same under-windshield winglets as the V4 models for enhanced aerodynamics and heat dissipation. Engine upgrades bump the power output to 105 horsepower.
Now sporting the same APRC electronics package, the RS 660 comes with the same launch control system as the Tuono 660. Like the others, it has received the five-inch TFT screen and backlit handlebar buttons.
The 2025 Aprilia RS 660 is available in Venom Yellow and Blue Marlin, while the RS 660 Factory (boasting an up-spec Öhlins suspension system) features new graphics on its black-and-red body.
