Aprilia 2026 Special Edition Tuono 457Amidst thousands of bike enthusiasts, Bollywood film icon John Abraham has launched Aprilia 2026 Special Edition Tuono 457 at World Motorcycle Day celebrations conducted by Association of Biking Community India (ABC India) in Bangalore.

Since its market debut last year, the Aprilia Tuono 457 has transformed expectations for what a mid-performance motorcycle can deliver. It has proven that the sophisticated engineering and technical prowess of a world-renowned brand can be perfectly tailored for the demands of the open road and the urban landscape.

Available in the striking Mamba Black and Puma Grey, the special edition is an evolution of the original concept, focused entirely on elevating comfort and rideability. Distinctive New Colorway: The Mamba Black and Puma

Speaking on the launch, Diego Graffi, Chairman and Managing Director, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt. Ltd., said: “The Special Edition Tuono 457 has been developed with a clear focus on enhancing rider comfort and everyday usability while preserving the high performance, precision and character that define Aprilia motorcycles. With the plethora of enhancements like the aerodynamic flyscreen, revised suspension setup, upgraded saddle, raised handlebar position and adjustable brake lever, the motorcycle is more comfortable and confidence-inspiring across urban rides and longer journeys.”

Priced at INR 3.99L ex-showroom Maharashtra, the new special edition Tuono457 in Mamba Black and Puma Grey liveries is now open to prebooking at select Aprilia showrooms across India.

“The new Mamba Black and Puma Grey liveries add an even stronger visual identity, making this a distinctive expression of Aprilia’s naked DNA. At the attractive pricing we are launching it, we believe this is most value-for-money naked twin cylinder mid-performance motorcycle available to Indian riders.”

With its segment-defining 47.6 hp twin-cylinder engine, electronic ride-by-wire throttle, and multi-level traction control, the Special Edition Tuono 457 firmly re-establishes itself as the absolute technical benchmark for the naked segment.”
