Styling
Bicycles styling is unmistakably Aprilia, and unmistakably Tuono. The 1000 R Tuono maintain close family look with the previous model and the RSV 1000 R from the origin. That’s, newly aggressive nose fairing, with closely mounted twin lights, have been developed in wind tunnel testing to provide effective protection for the rider and to kill lift at high speeds, ensuring maximum precision and control.
The Tuono 1000 R has been designed with performance and comfort in mind. All parts are styled for stunning looks and maximum functionality. The two lateral spoilers, for example, not only looks great but also serve an important aerodynamic purpose. They help keep the bike stable at high speeds and keep the wind from the rider’s legs. This was partly thanks to these spoilers that the Tuono 1000 R aerodynamics provide better protection than the other naked.
The design team has also been trying hard to ensure that, unlike other nakeds, Tuono 1000 R benefits from race-tuned engine breathing. The Tuono 1000 R is the only naked with dynamic air intake located directly under the nose fairing, and channel to channel ram air through the frame to the airbox. Yet more evidence of the soul racing in 1000 without compromising the Tuono R’s!
In 1000 Tuono R, ergonomics is one of the stronger points bike. Seating position has been carefully designed to provide maximum control of the rider on the front end. The addition to the handlebars are lower and the footrests have been moved farther back, thus riding position is sportier and more effective. Nevertheless, the overall comfort and even increased, so the ride is less tiring.
Slender tail with integrated direction indicators is similar to RSV, but the points to increase the dynamic styling Tuono 1000 R’s. Motorbikes can also be quickly changed from double to single seat by an official Aprilia kits (optional).
The V60 Magnesium Evolution engine
Latest 1000 cc V 60 Magnesium Evolution engine from the RSV 1000 R Factory, with only some minor changes to improve torque and muscle at low revs. Machine has been thoroughly redesigned to maintain its reputation as the best twin cylinder engine in production. So performance is more amazing than ever, with power that can be used 100% and, of course, that proverbial Aprilia reliability.
Engine breathing has been improved by the new, larger valves (enlarged 31-33 mm in diameter) and a new exhaust header pipe diameter is greater. Thanks to this increase, the V60 Magnesium Evolution that drives Tuono 1000 R puts more strength than ever, 139 HP at 9500 rpm, while also increasing the torque to an impressive 10.9 kgm at 8500 rpm, a figure that tells you all you need to know about muscle Aprilia’s V twin can provide even at low revs.
The silencers have catalytic converters installed nearer the collector pipes. This solution has reduced converter activation time by 50%, while further reducing the rate of emissions, keeping tem well within the strict limits required for Euro 3 homologation.
optimized fluid dynamics inside the cylinder head has been improved by mapping the refinement of the combined ignition and fuel injection systems to achieve higher power throughout the useful range of rotation.
So let us look at the main characteristics of the new engine V 60 Magnesium Evolution:
· New optimized cylinder heads with larger valves and one spark plug per cylinder
· 57 mm throttle bodies with one injector per cylinder
High Strength conrods ·
· Lighter overall weight thanks to the extensive use of magnesium
· Close-ratio gearbox
· Dry Flood trochoid lubrication with double pump, separate oil tank and oil cooler
· Mixed gear and chain valve timing. Drive gear (one for each timing chain) located inside the crankcase to maintain the cylinder head as small as possible.
· AVDC (Anti Vibration Double countershaft).
· Aprilia’s patented PPC (Pneumatic Power Clutch) hydraulic-operated, power assisted clutch system for controlling rear wheel under the mental slowing
The Tuono 1000 R inherits the RSV’s dynamic air intake, the location was just below the light cluster, in the middle of the bike where ram air pressure is highest. Air Runner duct (which also supports the nose and instrument prize) to the airbox air channels, 10.3 liters designed to allow the engine to develop its full potential. Air ducts Runner ensure that the pressure in the airbox increases with speed, and produces 3% increase in engine power at maximum speed.
Engine control unit developed in conjunction with Siemens VDO provides integrated engine management. ECU receives all essential engine parameters in real time from 15 different sensors, processes the data and, again in real time, controls the various actuators that keep the engine functioning perfectly at all times.
Flash EPROM unit is equipped with mapping for unrestricted racing out ready to load. Aprilia Technical Assistance Service can therefore enable race mapping in next to no time on request.
FRAME
Do you ride on the street or on the track, Tuono 1000 R’s chassis brings you the top performance and control. Every aspect of the frame, suspension fork and have been refined according to the perfect weight distribution. In accordance with Aprilia traditions, the frame is a combination of aluminum-silicon foundry alloys and Peraluman 450 pressed parts. A highly sophisticated structure is not only more rigid than the previous version but lighter too. Latest frame weighs under 10 kg (9650 grams) setting an impressive new record for its class. wheelbase is shorter too, and at 1410 mm – the record for the category – accounts for the Tuono 1000 R rack’s than the handling and more instinctive ride.
The new double banana suspension gives a clear section for exhaust system and weighs only 4860 grams, well under the 5 kg figure considered by experts as a reference weight for this component.
SUSPENSION
fork is a Showa upside down unit, with a 43 mm cage for the perfect balance between precision on the racetrack and comfort on the road. And to ensure that the ideal setup can be achieved for all styles and conditions, on the road and on the same line, the fork is fully adjustable in spring preload and in compression and rebound damping. The Sachs monoshock at the rear is also regulated in spring preload and rebound damping.

Braking System
Braking system has undergone some major changes. The new Tuono 1000 R is equipped with Brembo radial calipers Gold featuring two separate sintered pads. The two 320 mm floating steel discs feature a narrower braking band to minimize inertia and weight and stay in place by Aprilia exclusive six spoke flange.
rear braking system is Brembo Gold too, with 220 mm stainless steel disc and the caliper with the two 32 mm pistons.
The front and rear brakes both use aeronautical metal braided hoses to eliminate the sponginess definitely associated with conventional brake hoses and to ensure maximum braking precision.
COMPONENTS
What makes the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R stand out from the competition is the care and attention that Aprilia has paid incredible to every small detail. The design team doing the best they have to ensure that every component on the bike to improve performance and functionality, reduce weight and improve the quality and completion.
The following components deserve special attention.
- Dashboard is a unit (digital-analog) mixture. This uses the data received from the CAN line to perform functions essential for autodiagnostic which also has a special memory. New dashboard control unit performs the same function as the previous unit (including the 40 lap timer) but is more compact and modern in design and extremely lightweight. User friendliness has improved too, with all functions controlled from two practical push-buttons on the left hand light switch.
