Aprilia Tuono V4 R 1000cc unique characteristics

The Tuono V4R is the only naked powered by a narrow V (65°) 4 cylinder engine with unique characteristics. Extremely compact, as slim as a twin-cylinder and installed in an ultra-compact chassis, the 65° V4 engine is the epitome of Italian engineering ingenuity. The Tuono gives away very little to its RSV4 sibling in terms of pure performance, but in exchange offers a greater fluidity that make it more enjoyable and rewarding to ride on the road and when carrying a passenger.

Power  167.3 hp at 11,500 rpm

Torque  111.5 Nm at 9,500 rpm

Rev limiter  12,300 rpm in all gears

To achieve these results, a number of different modifications were made to the Aprilia V4 engine:

• New valve timing diagram.

• Fixed intake ducts now 20 mm longer.

• Crankshaft flywheel with increased inertia for improved smoothness and overall balance.

• Shortened gear ratios for the first three gears.

• Engine speed at maximum power reduced to 11,500 rpm on the Tuono V4R
