Aprilia have gifted their top-of-the-range Tuono some trick electronic suspension, so we trekked over to Trento to test it out.

Since 2002, Aprilia have set the bar in the super naked sector, despite their current model not having had a proper design overhaul since way back in 2012, when it received a sexy new V4 motor and Aprilia’s APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control).
In 2015 it was given another 79cc and now, for 2019, Aprilia have gone all techno on us and splashed out on some fancy Öhlins electronic suspension for their chart topping Tuono, the Tuono V4 1100 Factory.
