Aprilia RS 457 Price Hiked
The Aprilia RS 457 is a sporty, mid-sized motorcycle that tries to give you a good mix of performance, sharp looks, and a reasonable price. As for the latest price hike, it was announced back in December along with the quanta of the increase.

Aprilia Tuono 457 ADV Launch Soon
The Aprilia Tuono 457, which we first saw at EICMA in Italy back in 2024, has now popped up on Aprilia's Indian website, which is a confirmed hint that it's heading your way. And to add to that, some dealers are already taking pre-bookings, even before its official launch here in India. Underneath the skin, the Tuono 457 is basically the same as the RS 457, sharing the same chassis, engine, frame, wheels, and brakes. Feature-wise, this naked bike comes with traction control, full LED lighting, different riding modes, ABS, and a nice color TFT screen with Bluetooth. It's likely that we'll see it make its official Indian debut at the Auto Expo in the coming days.
Verdict
Aprilia is expanding its portfolio on the back of the success of the Aprilia RS 457, which in its class, is a solid performer and a head-turner with its looks. While the price hike was nothing out of the blue, the eyes are now on the incoming Aprilia Tuono 457, which has a lot of anticipation as buyers are eager to see how the brand pulls off an ADV, and if its could nail the demanding aspects of it, when launched.
