-
Image
The Aprilia Tuono 457 brings the RS 457’s capable performance to a more upright and comfortable package. Based on the same platform as its fully-faired sibling, the Tuono ditches the fairing and clip-ons in favour of a more practical setup. If you’re considering one, here are answers to some of the most common questions. What is the price of the Aprilia Tuono 457 in India? The Aprilia Tuono 457 is priced at Rs 4.24 lakh (ex-showroom, Maharashtra). The bike comes in a single variant and is positioned Rs 27,000 below the RS 457.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 is powered by the same 457cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine as the RS 457, producing 47.6hp and 43.5Nm of torque.

Hero Xpulse 210 long-term review, 3,600km report

-
Image
My last few months with the Xpulse 210 have been fun to the point that I am now convinced that this was my favourite bike of 2025. Not the fastest/most exciting, not the best value, not even the best off-roader, but still my favourite, and that’s because it comes across as an honest, characterful and thoroughly enjoyable motorcycle. The plush suspension irons out my irritation with the appalling state of our roads, and the comfy riding position only amplifies that. Then there’s the fizzy little engine that constantly cheers me up, not only with its crisp sound and throttle connection but also its zippy performance. Super short gearing also makes it easy to ride through crawling traffic in second and even third gear with no issues, and that flexibility again helps ease the frustrations of Indian big-city traffic.  The engine sounds good, feels crisp, and is an entertaining performer. The downside with the short gearing is that the engine will be screaming away if you like hol...
