Aprilia also has a tradition of linking a sporty Tuono naked to its sports models.
The Tuono 660 is a worthy descendant of the legendary Tuono 1100 and the brother of the last year introduced, surprising RS 660.
A naked bike, unique in its segment, is born: light and powerful, with a 95 hp twin-cylinder engine, advanced electronics and a chassis that lives up to its name.

The Tuono 660 has the aggressive and sporty style of the Tuono family.
Like the RS 660, the new Tuono also uses the innovative concept of the double fairing with built-in aerodynamic function and the triple front headlight group with LED lamps and DRL daytime running lights.

With an output of 95 hp in combination with a curb weight of 183 kg, the Tuono is slightly less powerful than the RS 660, but it is also slightly lighter.
This must therefore ensure a distinctly sporty driving behavior for public roads.
The bicycle part resembles that of the RS 660, but differs from it in a number of areas.
The Tuono 660 features a magnificent lightweight structure consisting of a cast aluminum frame and swingarm.
The higher handlebars and offset are different from the RS 660 and therefore the Tuono is perhaps a bit more comfortable and even more stable.

That electronics is top in its class, with ride-by-wire, selectable mapping, six-axis IMU, APRC (anti-wheelie, cruise control, traction, adjustable engine braking) and five riding modes.
The Kayaba suspension is adjustable.

The Tuono 660 is available in three color variants: Concept Black, Iridium Gray and the fascinating Acid Gold, which we already admired on the RS 660.
