Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2024 Aprilia Tuono 660, a remarkable entry into the sport motorcycle arena that seamlessly blends raw power with agile handling. Known for its aggressive styling and cutting-edge technology, the Tuono 660 stands out as a versatile machine designed for both spirited street riding and track-day adventures. This naked sportbike carries the legacy of Aprilia's racing pedigree while appealing to riders seeking a blend of performance and everyday usability. With a weight of just 183 kg (403.4 lbs) and a seat height of 820 mm (32.3 inches), it offers an approachable yet exhilarating ride that caters to a broad spectrum of motorcyclists. At the heart of the Tuono 660 lies its powerful 659 ccm engine, featuring a 270-degree crank that delivers a thrilling output of 95 HP at 10,500 RPM and a robust torque of 67 Nm at 8,500 RPM. The engine's state-of-the-art fuel injection system and a pair of 48 mm throttle bodies ensure a responsive throttle that translates rider intentions into instantaneous acceleration. With a compression ratio of 13.5:1 and a 6-speed gearbox, the Tuono 660 promises exhilarating performance across the rev range, while its slipper clutch enhances stability during aggressive downshifts. Fuel efficiency is commendable, averaging 4.90 liters per 100 km (48 mpg), making it a practical choice for those who relish both spirited rides and efficient commuting. The Tuono 660 is equipped with advanced features that elevate the riding experience. Its aluminum dual beam frame not only contributes to the bike's lightweight design but also provides exceptional rigidity and stability. The suspension setup, featuring 41 mm USD forks at the front and an asymmetrical aluminum rear arm, ensures precise handling and comfort, with adjustable preload and rebound settings for the rear shock absorber. Stopping power is equally impressive, courtesy of Brembo brakes that deliver confidence-inspiring performance, thanks to their dual-disc setup at the front and single disc at the rear, both equipped with ABS for added safety. Riders can also choose between striking color options like Torque Red and Rush Grey, further personalizing their machine. **
