5 Fast Facts About 150cc Aprilia RS & Tuono

1) Design and Style

Replicas of 1000cc Aprilia Sport Bikes

The design is highly or you can say purely inspired by the litre-class Aprilia RSV4 and Tuono 1100. The scaled versions look perfect and deal with both sport and street bike lovers of India. Aprilia RS 150 is a perfect R15 rival while Tuono 150 comes with huge front fascia and exposed engine bay.

2) Engine and Gearbox

Decent Amount of Power and Torque

Aprilia combo comes with a powerful 150cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled and fuel injected motor producing 18 HP at 10,000 rpm and 14 Nm at 7,500 rpm. This makes it the second most powerful option after Yamaha R15 Version 3.0. As they have not revealed the weight for both these bikes, the power-to-weight ratio can still surprise us.

3) Safety and Brakes

Comes with Standard 2-Channel ABS

Dual Channel ABS comes as standard on Aprilia RS 150 and Tuono 150. Unlike other bikes with optional single channel ABS, Aprilia will use dual channel unit through its 300mm front and 218mm rear disc. It will surely raise the pricing to some extent.

4) Equipment

Dual Discs, USD Forks & Quick-Shifter

If Aprilia brings Upside Down forks as standard on both these models, this would make them the segment first options to carry such impressive performance enhancing feature. Setup of suspension is also expected to stay more track focused on Aprilia RS 150. An optional quick-shifter on both these bikes would mean pro-level track spec riding experience for the buyers. It saves time between gear shifts and results in better use of the gearbox potential. Even the faired front section of Tuono 150 will help buyers stay away from wind blast.
