Tuono 660

Aprilia Tuono 660 – The Middleweight Streetfighter That Does It All

Strip away the fairings from the acclaimed RS 660, add a more upright riding position, and you get the Tuono 660—a naked bike that proves you don’t need a litre-class engine to have serious fun. This is Italian streetfighter character distilled into a middleweight package that’s equally at home carving canyons, commuting through traffic, or devouring highway miles. It’s the versatile, everyday weapon that never compromises on excitement.

Performance with Purpose

The Tuono 660’s 659cc parallel twin produces 70 kW (95 HP) at 10,500 rpm and 67 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm—figures that deliver genuine performance while remaining manageable and exploitable on real roads. This isn’t about overwhelming power; it’s about usable performance that’s accessible everywhere. The broad, flat torque curve means strong acceleration from any revs, making overtakes effortless and corner exits thrilling.

At just 183 kg kerb weight, the Tuono is impressively light, translating to flickable handling that makes every road feel more engaging. The sophisticated engine management and ride-by-wire throttle deliver smooth, predictable power delivery, while the slipper clutch eases aggressive downshifts when you’re riding hard.

Rider-Focused Tech

The Tuono 660 comes equipped with Aprilia’s full APRC electronics suite featuring five riding modes—three fixed and two fully customizable. Traction control, wheelie control, engine brake control, and settable ABS give you comprehensive electronic assistance that adapts to conditions and riding style. Cruise control makes highway miles effortless, perfect for this bike’s versatile mission.

The Kayaba suspension is adjustable for both preload and rebound at both ends, letting you dial in the perfect setup whether you’re riding solo or two-up. Brembo radial calipers with dual 320mm front discs and metal braided lines provide stopping power that’s both powerful and confidence-inspiring. The clear instrumentation keeps you informed without overwhelming you with data.

Design: Aggression Meets Elegance

The Tuono 660 embodies pure streetfighter aesthetic—minimal bodywork that showcases the mechanical beauty of that parallel twin engine, aggressive angular design, and a stance that announces intent. Available in Concept Black, Iridium Grey, or Acid Gold, each color emphasizes the muscular proportions and purposeful lines. The exposed engine, sharp lighting, and compact dimensions create a bike that’s distinctive and unmistakably Aprilia.

The upright riding position with 820mm seat height offers comfort for all-day riding while maintaining enough forward lean to feel sporty when you want to push. It’s a sweet spot that makes the Tuono equally capable whether you’re navigating city traffic or attacking your favorite backroad.

Is It for You?

The Tuono 660 is the perfect choice for riders who want a do-everything motorcycle that never feels like a compromise. It’s comfortable enough for daily commuting, powerful enough for spirited riding, efficient enough for touring (4.9L/100km fuel consumption), and light enough to be genuinely fun everywhere. Whether you’re an experienced rider looking for a more practical alternative to a supersport or someone seeking their first serious naked bike, the Tuono 660 delivers Italian character with real-world versatility.
