Two exciting new Aprilias showcased

-

Aprilia showed off two 150cc bikes and let us tell you that they were very special. The two bikes, Tuono 150 and the RS 150 share the same liquid cooled motor which churns out 18bhp and 14Nm of torque and sends power to the wheels via a 6-speed gearbox. The bikes also use 40mm

USD forks up front and a monoshock at the back. Both bikes also feature alumiunium frames which according to the company makes it ultra expensive. While the RS is a fully faired sport bike offering, the Tuono sports a half fairing and exposed engine. The instrument panel is also a mix of digital and analogue displays and at the same time is informativ­e as well.

The company has received a very positive feedback for both these bikes and is strongly considerin­g them for production. We just hope that Aprilia is able to put them into production in 18 months as promised.
