In a bid to make a mark in India's motorcycle scene, Aprilia introduced four motorcycles yesterday - the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, the Aprilia RS 660, the Aprilia Tuono 660, and the Aprilia Tuareg 660. These models will be sold alongside the company's 400cc offering, the Aprilia RS 457, recently launched. Let’s take a closer look at each.

Aprilia RS 660

The larger sibling of the Aprilia RS 457, the 660cc motorcycle is priced at Rs 17.74 lakh (ex-showroom) and comes in three colours: Racing Black, Acid Gold, and Tribute.

Aprilia Tuono 660

Priced at Rs 17.44 lakh (ex-showroom), the Tuono is the naked version of the RS 660, featuring a half-fairing and is available in Torque Red and Rush Grey.

Aprilia Tuareg 660

For off-road enthusiasts, Aprilia offers the Tuareg 660, starting at Rs 18.85 lakh (ex-showroom), with a premium variant, the "Evocative Dakar Podium," priced slightly higher at Rs 19.16 lakh (ex-showroom). 

All three motorcycles in the 660 range are powered by the same 659cc parallel-twin engine. The RS 660 delivers 100PS and 67Nm, the Tuono 660 offers 95.1PS and 67Nm, while the Aprilia Tuareg 660 produces 81PS and 70Nm. The RS 660 features a 6-speed transmission with a slip-and-assist clutch and standard bi-directional quick-shifter, while the Tuono 660 and Tuareg 660 come with a similar transmission setup but lack the quick-shifter.
