STYLING NEW 2011 2012 TUONO 1000 R OVERVIEW, PRICE, REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION

The style of the bike is unmistakably Aprilia, and unmistakably Tuono. The Tuono 1000 R maintains a close look at the family with a previous model and the RSV 1000 R from which it derives. The new aggressive front fairing, with closely mounted twin headlights, has been developed in the wind tunnel to provide effective protection for the driver and to kill lift at high speeds, ensuring maximum precision and control.

The Tuono 1000 R has been designed with performance and comfort. All parts are designed for stunning looks and maximum functionality. The two lateral spoilers, for example, not only look great, but also an important aerodynamic purpose. They help keep the bike stable at high speed and keep the wind off the rider's legs. And 'thanks to these spoilers that the Tuono 1000 R provides better aerodynamic protection than any other naked. NEW 2011 2012 TUONO 1000 R OVERVIEW, PRICE, REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION

The design team has also gone to great lengths to ensure that, unlike other naked, the Tuono 1000 R benefits from race-tuned engine breathing. The Tuono 1000 R is the only naked with a dynamic air intake located directly under the dome, and a duct to channel ram air through the frame to the airbox. further evidence of uncompromising racing soul, the Tuono 1000 R!

On the Tuono 1000 R, ergonomics is one of the strengths of the bike. The seating position is carefully designed to give the pilot maximum control on the front end. The handlebar risers are lower and the footrests have been moved further back, so that the riding position is sportier and more effective. Despite this, overall comfort has even improved, so that driving is less tiring.

The sleek tail with its integrated direction indicators is similar to that of the RSV but points upwards to improve the dynamic style of the Tuono 1000 R. The bike can be rapidly transformed from single to dual seat by an official Aprilia kit (optional).

The V60 Magnesium Evolution engine

The latest 1000 cc V 60 Magnesium Evolution engine is derived from the RSV 1000 R Factory, with only some minor changes to improve torque and muscle at low revs. The engine has been completely redesigned to maintain its reputation as the best twin cylinder engine production. Thus, performance is more amazing than ever, with 100% usable power and, of course, that proverbial Aprilia reliability.

Engine breathing has been improved with new, bigger exhaust valves (enlarged from 31 to 33 mm in diameter) and the new, larger diameter exhaust header pipes. With these improvements, the V60 Magnesium Evolution that drives the Tuono 1000 R puts out more power than ever before, 139 hp at 9,500 rpm, while also boosting torque to an impressive 10.9 Kgm at 8,500 rpm, a figure that tells you all you need to know the muscle that Aprilia's V twin can deliver even at low speeds.

The silencers have catalytic converters and closer to the collectors. This solution has reduced converter activation time by 50% while further reducing the level of exhaust emissions, keeping temperatures well within the strict limits required for Euro 3 homologation.

Optimization of fluid dynamics inside the cylinder heads have been enhanced with improved mapping of the ignition and fuel injection systems combined for greater power at all engine speeds useful.

So, let's take a look at the features of the new V 60 Magnesium Evolution engine:

· New optimized cylinder heads with larger valves and one spark plug per cylinder
· 57 mm throttle bodies with one injector per cylinder
· High strength connecting rods
°, thanks to its light weight and the general widespread use of magnesium
• Close-gear ratios

· Dry sump lubrication with double pump trochoid, separate oil tank and oil cooler

° gear mixed and distribution chain. The drive gears (one per timing chain) are located inside the base to keep the cylinder head as compact as possible.
· AVDC (Anti Vibration Double Countershaft).
· April patented PPC (Pneumatic Power Clutch) hydraulically operated, power assisted clutch to control rear wheel bounce climb

Tuono 1000 R inherits the RSV's dynamic air intake, locating it just under the headlight in the middle of the bike where ram air pressure is higher. The Air Runner duct (which also supports the fairing and instruments) channels the air to a 10.3 liters airbox, designed to allow the engine to develop its full potential. The Air Runner duct ensures that pressure in the airbox increases with speed, and generates a 3% increase in engine power at maximum speed.

An engine control unit developed in conjunction with Siemens VDO provides integrated engine management. The ECU receives all essential engine parameters in real time from 15 different sensors, processes the data and, again in real time, controls the various actuators that keep the engine functioning perfectly at all times.

The EPROM flash drive comes with the mapping for unrestricted racing exhausts ready loaded. Aprilia Technical Assistance Service can therefore enable race mapping in no time at request
