Before 2024 ends, Italian bike maker Aprilia has made some great updates to its popular 125cc sports bike range. The company has launched the 2025 models of the Aprilia RS125 and Tuono 125 for the European market. From new engines to attractive color options, efforts have been made to make these bikes even better and more interesting. However, it is difficult for them to come to the Indian market. Let’s know about these bikes in detail.
Big update in engine
Aprilia has made the biggest change in its RS125 and Tuono 125 in their engines. Because these bikes have been given a new 125cc liquid-cooled engine, which is now built on the Euro 5+ standard, due to which this engine now generates 15bhp power at 10,500rpm and 12Nm torque at 8,500rpm. Also, it has been paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Apart from this, you will also get the option of some optional quick shifters in the market, which makes the riding experience even better.
No change in mechanical features
There has been no change in the mechanical features of both Aprilia’s RS125 and Tuono 125 bikes because the mechanical parts like chassis, tyres, brakes and cluster in these bikes have been kept the same as the old model but in terms of safety, standard features like traction control and ABS have been provided in it. Also, LED lights have been provided everywhere in these bikes, which makes them look more modern.
New colour option has increased the beauty
Aprilia has also added new colour options to make these bikes even more attractive, so now you will get two new options of Kingsnake White and Cyanide Yellow in RS125. At the same time, you have also been given great colour options like Viper Yellow and Mamba Grey in Tuono 125.
These bikes will not come to India
At present, there is no update on the launch of RS125 and Tuono 125 in India because we have come to know from sources that it is not possible to launch these great bikes in India at the moment. The reason for this is their production cost. Until Aprilia makes them completely in India, it is difficult to decide their price according to the Indian market. This is the reason why no update has been given by the company regarding the launch of these bikes in the Indian market.

Great option for new riders
RS125 and Tuono 125 have always been considered the perfect option for new riders in the segment of 125cc bikes. These bikes are very popular in the European market due to great performance, modern looks and safety features.
Aprilia has updated the RS125 and Tuono 125 in a great way. Be it a new engine or attractive color options, these bikes now look better than before.
