The Aprilia Tuono 457 has just received a series of important updates for 2026, and they could make a BIG difference to how this performance naked bike works in the real world. Meet the 2026 Aprilia Tuono 457 Special Edition. Priced at ₹3.99 lakh (ex-showroom), it gets a revised suspension setup, a taller handlebar, improved seat padding, an adjustable brake lever, a new flyscreen and fresh Mamba Black and Puma Grey colour schemes. But do these changes actually make the Tuono 457 better? In this detailed review, we ride the new Tuono 457 Special Edition on real roads to find out how much the revised suspension improves ride quality, whether the taller handlebar makes it more comfortable in everyday riding, and whether these changes affect the bike’s sporty character in the twisties. We also look at the unchanged 457cc parallel-twin engine, the bike’s performance, handling, comfort, highway manners and whether the Tuono 457 still delivers the engaging riding experience Aprilia is known for. And there’s one BIG question for existing Tuono 457 owners: can you retrofit these updates to your older bike? We break down which parts are backwards compatible, including the windscreen, adjustable brake lever, seat and handlebar risers, and explain why upgrading the suspension could be a considerably more expensive proposition. Is the 2026 Aprilia Tuono 457 Special Edition worth the extra money? Should you buy the new bike or save money with the older Tuono 457? And should existing owners consider upgrading? Watch the full review to find out.
