TUONO NAKED MUSCLE - Aprilia

TUONO
NAKED
AGILITY
As agile as an idea, as powerful as an
emotion, the Tuono 1000 R simply has
no rivals when it comes to handling. And
handling is the secret of its adrenalinepumping
racetrack victories and its total
ridability on the road. The Tuono’s agility
is the result of perfect balance, perfect
symbiosis between rider and bike, and a
perfect mix of lightness and rigidity in the
frame. Instant response and intuitive control
is always yours, at all times and under all
riding conditions.
• The frame is a clever combination of aluminium-silicon
castings and Peraluman 450 pressings, a solution that
gives superior structural rigidity and a total weight of less
than 10 Kg. The aluminium swingarm, with its double
banana design to provide space for the new exhaust
system, is extremely lightweight and robust.
• The suspension creates the ideal balance between
racetrack performance and road-going comfort, and is
fully adjustable for a completely personal setup. The 43
mm upside down fork provides adjustments for spring
load and hydraulic damping. The monoshock at the rear
offers adjustments for extension damping and spring
preload.
• The new Brembo Gold front brakes feature four-piston
radial calipers with two pads per side for improved
braking control with no extra effort at the lever. Both
the front and rear brakes incorporate aeronautical metal
braided hose for maximum precision.
• Super-lightweight alloy wheels mean less gyroscopic
effect, something you are sure to appreciate when total
control means total domination of the field.
