While sales of the Aprilia Tuono V4 remain relatively small in comparison to the most popular of today’s naked sports bikes it’s arguably still the most aggressive of them all – closest in spirit to its superbike sibling. While the 2019-spec Tuono V4 1100 RR remains largely unaltered, there’s a notable update to the higher-spec Tuono V4 1100 Factory, which gains semi-active electronic suspension courtesy of Ohlins. The Smart EC 2.0 system acts on both the forks and the rear shock via a pair of modes; semi-active or manual. In semi-active mode, the system uses data from the suspension, brakes, throttle and IMU to constantly adjust its settings to suit both the road surface and your riding style. Manual switches that off, leaving the suspension working in a more conventional way, but still with access to the trio of riding modes – track, sport or road – which can be applied in the semi-active setting. As well as the suspension, the Smart EC 2.0 system acts on the Ohlins steering damper, calibrating it to match the shock and fork settings, which can all be accessed via the Tuono’s colour TFT dashboard. Physically, the semi-active suspension system on the Factory also increases the fork travel from last year’s 117mm to 125mm, while the Ohlins TTX semi-active shock is lighter than its predecessor. The rest of the bike’s already-impressive electronics suite remains. It includes traction control, wheelie control, launch control, quick-shift, pit-lane limiter and cruise control, not to mention cornering ABS. Both the Factory and the RR share all those features, but the new electronic suspension helps give the more expensive Factory a bigger distinguishing feature.
