Spyshots reveal heavily updated 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 super-naked... and it now has wings

Aprilia look set to reveal a next-generation Tuono V4 super-naked family in the coming weeks, following fresh spy shots capturing a pair of development bikes on the road with changes including integrated aero winglets. 

While the machines seen here are still sporting camo liveries in a bid to hide changes, it’s likely we’ll see the finished article at early November’s EICMA tradeshow in Milan. 

The Tuono V4 is a firm favourite here at MCN, thanks to its blend of composed handling, style, and performance courtesy of its yowling 65-degree 1077cc V4 and race-inspired chassis. 

Producing one of the sweetest standard engine notes of any motorcycle, it was last updated for 2021 and looks set to change again for 2025, as the industry transitions into more stringent Euro5+ regulations. 

This is backed up by the four-figure discounts currently being offered by Aprilia on the existing standard and Factory models, with the Noale outfit attempting to shift as much old stock as possible. 

Although wearing slightly tweaked engine case covers, the development bikes appear to use the same overall motor and main chassis as the current V4 family. The lack of bellypan does however seem to show an additional catalyser in the exhaust plus tweaks to the radiator, and it’s likely that internal revisions will have taken place as a result. 

It would also be fair to expect some kind of horsepower increase, with the KTM 1390 Super Duke R now producing 187bhp and other rivals eclipsing 200 horses (just what you need with no fairing). 

The model seen here in the riding shots is likely to be a full-spec Factory edition, thanks to what looks to be semi-active electronic Öhlins front and rear. 

The big changes come in the looks department, with revised bodywork throughout. Up front sits a pair of integrated winglets, clearly inspired by the firm’s RS-GP MotoGP bike, and bearing a stark resemblance to the limited run RSV4 X Ex3ma. 

Rather than simple bolt-ons like those found on rivals such as the BMW M1000R, they are more elegant and should provide hefty downforce.

Alongside the new winglets, Aprilia look to be giving the Tuono a new tail piece inspired by the RSV4, too. 

As is the trend these days, the rear lights look set to be integrated into the indicators, which would be helpful for converting the bike into a track-only set up. 

Although the riding shots show only one Tuono in testing, an additional photograph shows a second bike with more road biased tyres – suggesting a standard and Factory edition will remain. 

MCN approached Aprilia, but they declined to comment.
