Beyond its aesthetics, the Tuono V990 boasts a robust and well-engineered package. Its liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-twin engine produces a claimed 125 horsepower and 79 lb-ft of torque, making for exhilarating acceleration and strong midrange performance. The bike's aluminum frame and adjustable suspension (Showa forks and an Sachs rear shock) deliver precise handling and impressive stability, making it equally adept at carving corners and tackling winding roads. The Tuono V990's braking system, featuring twin 320mm discs with Brembo calipers, provides strong stopping power and confidence-inspiring control. With its striking looks, potent performance, and focused riding character, the Aprilia Tuono V990 carved a niche for itself as a thrilling and uncompromising naked sportbike, offering a captivating blend of raw power and streetfighter attitude.
