Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory aPRC Detailed Overview & Review (Aprilia Performance Ride Control)

- In this video, I break down the various rider aids and helpful features that are components of the aPRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) suite of electronics. This video explains what each rider aid, or feature is, and how it works. This is relevant for all 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 Aprilia Tuono V4 models and RSV4 models, with the exception of the Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active electronic suspension found on the 2019 and 2020 Factory trims of these bikes.
If you want to learn how to adjust aPRC items on your 2017-2020 Tuono V4 or RSV4, or anything else within these bikes' digital dashes, check out this overview of the dash and user interface I made by clicking the following link: • Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 ...
The Tuono V4 1100 will be my next bike. Thanks for all the info on it! Definitely been leaning towards the Factory after your reviews since getting the Factory.
Hey Wick! Glad to hear my video have helped you to arrive at that conclusion. 🙂 How do you like your MT09?
@@hiimchad I love the MT09. The suspension needs a lot of help, especially being 6'-2" and 220lbs. The torque is great and is a fun bike around town. On the track 600s pass me on the straight with ease, so I miss that extra hp sometimes. I love sound of that V4, you can't beat it, even with the crossplane 3 cylinder.
@@chadwick929 the triples definitely have a great sound, but I agree a V4 is just a little bit sweeter. 🙂
The suspension does seem to be a weak point from Yamaha on the MT09. I’m about the same size as you, so I’m sure it would feel similar. I’d ask if you planned to upgrade it, but realize that’s unlikely if you’re shopping for a Tuono 😂
How soon do you think you’ll buy one?
There is no better production bike out there. By a mile. It is such a great bike. About to get my third Tuono.
Hey Drew, I totally agree, and congratulations! Are you going for the 2021 this time around? Also, wouldn’t that make you more of an Aprilia Drew? 😉
I was looking to buy this year a new aprilia, thank you to share this. super Informative!
Happy I could help! 🙂 Are you looking for one of the new 2021 Tuonos, or a bike that's a little older like mine?
@@hiimchad I really love the look of the 2017/2019 but I dont really know yet. Any advice from you? of wich one i should choose and why? Thank you!
@@akainazuma9957 The only significant difference between the 2017 and 2019 Tuono Factory is the graphics, and that the 2019 has electronic semi-active Ohlins suspension, whereas the 2017 Factory (my bike) does not.
I've read and watched people say a lot of great things about the semi-active suspension and the range of conditions it can be set to perform in. Some you can set it to be just as firm and grippy as the static Ohlins on the 2017/18, but then even softer than the Tuono RR's Sachs suspension.
That said, and this is all a matter of opinion, but I absolutely love the 2017 graphics with the black, silver, and red with the little bit of green on the tail. One of the best looking bikes, in my opinion. I'm not as much of a fan of the 2019's graphics, but to each their own.
So, to sum it up, the 2019 is the better-performing because of the semi-active suspension, but may not be as nice to look at, depending on your preferences for visual themes. If you think the versatility of the bike is more important to you, I'd recommend the 2019, but if you want something that looks a little prettier, share my opinion, and can live without the electronic suspension, I'd recommend the 2017. I can never go out into my garage without stopping to admire it for at least a couple minutes. 🙂
Thanks Chad very informative video
Thanks, great video! I think it might also be worth mentioning that on ABS level 1 you no longer have cornering ABS or rear wheel lift mitigation activated, according to the manual.
Interesting, I was not aware of that! Would explain why I can still pull stoppies coming up to red lights with ease.. 😅 Thanks for sharing! I should probably take another look at my manual. It's been a while.. Glad you appreciated the video! Thanks for the compliment. 🙂
Very informative video! making it easy to understand!
Damn it man! im so close to buying one, only problem is there is none available hahah...
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and am glad it was helpful! 🙂 I know that feeling all too well! It's tough waiting around for the right one to pop up on the market. What model year are you looking for?
@@hiimchad No problem man! :)
I cant be picky, so i'll get what I can get!
But do you got some recommendations?
@@AVKmoto Sure! I would definitely recommend a 2017 or newer, as a lot of the electronics you see in this video my bike were introduced (autoblipper, digital dash, cruise control, ABS) or significantly improved (traction control, wheelie control, ABS) for that model year. The next most significant improvement came in 2019 with the semi-active electronic Ohlins suspension on the Factory model, that remained for 2020. Outside of these things, the only other differences are the graphics. I like 2017's graphics the most, but I am also a bit biased. 🙂
@@hiimchad Thats awesome!!
Great so a 2017 or newer model, noted!
But honestly its the engine and the looks that i want! :) so if i can get a hold of an older model i'll be fine too :) anyways thanks man!
@@AVKmoto happy to help! Best of luck finding the right Tuono for you. 🙂
Thanks for another great and informative video with great sound from the exhaust 👍🏻👍🏻. Mirrors are looking great.
Hey Ken, glad you enjoyed! Very happy to have the mirrors back where they’re actually helpful 😁 I love that you appreciate the exhaust! Those notes are definitely one of my favorite things about the bike.
Chad, thanks for your detailed response to my Aprilia reliability question.
I hope to get a test ride when they are available and I will go from there.
Look forward to your next video.
Always happy to help, Doug! 🙂 Definitely let me know how it goes, I an very curious to get opinions on what it’s like. More videos next week, stay tuned 😁

Thanks Robert for the info but I live in Australia so I will try local dealers
here.
@@robertmarschall3597 I appreciate the recommendation! I’m not as far away from Florida as Doug, but am on the other side of the country. I’ll keep them in mind in case I’m ever in Florida, though. Thank you! 🙂
Thanks Chad, another quality vid mate 👍. YOU did influence me buying my recent 2019 Tuono Factory and I love it ❤ !! Now I turn onto your channel and can get more informative information (you're going to be my 'go to Aprilia Team mechanic 🤣). I enjoy when ppl talk about the bike's functions etc (same you haven't got the Active Suspension - I'd love to get the feedback on these countless changes - it's got everything but the 'kitchen sink'). I wait for your NEXT informative vid 👌. Brett
Hey Brett! Always appreciate you tuning in and sharing your thoughts. Glad I was able to help with that decision as well. 😁
I love making the technical videos, as I'm a bit of an engineering nerd myself. It would be awesome to put together a comparison of the semi-active vs. static Ohlins and see how they stack up against each other! I know my dealer has a few 2019s and 20s still on the showroom floor. Maybe they'd be willing to loan me one for an afternoon..
Hay Chad, it would not surprise me if you just ended up buying 'another Tuono" 🤣 just so you can have one for each and every occasion 😁. I can just see it now.....you sitting in your garage surrounded by bikes, and there all yours !!!
@@brettw8664 After selling my Tuono RR a few weeks back, I don’t think a second Tuono will make it way into the garage, at least not before an RSV4 does 😈
@@hiimchad yes, I see you on this, ABSOLUTE 'TRACK WEAPON'. Right up your alley Chad 🏍
Great vid. Think I’ll be trading in my Street Triple for one of these.
New subscriber 👍
Thank you, and I appreciate your subscription! Glad to have you on board. 🙂 That will be a nice upgrade! I love Triumph’s triple engines (currently have a 2012 Daytona 675R track bike and owned a 2006 Daytona 675 a while back as well). The Tuono has an awesome handling chassis definitely on par with Triumphs. Prepare to feel like your arms are being ripped off the first few times you open the throttle hard 😁👊✊
@@hiimchad I love my 2015 Street Triple RX. Love the sound and lightness of it. Wish I could have two bikes !
@@flippflopps4026 Having owned multiple bikes for almost a year now, I don't see why you couldn't one day! Just takes time, patience, and work. 🙂
I also use the race throttle map all the time on my 2019 Tuono RF, but for me the sport map is much more agressive and tbh. a bit to much for normal driving, race and track is much more linear and controllable. (there was no noticable difference between the stock and race ecu flash, the throttle maps are identical for me). Thanks for making these videos!
Hey Foss! Apprecite your comment! I agree the Race map provides the smoothest ride. My understanding is that Race and Track actually produce more midrange power than Sport, and that was what I meant when I said those were more aggressive than Sport. In the sense of how jerky and clunky Sport is in comparison, I agree it makes the bike feel more aggressive and more challenging to control. Thank you for watching! I love making these, and will continue to post more next week! 🙂
Chad, another brilliant video, very informative.
I am considering buying a new 2021 updated Tuono Factory (heavily influenced by you) but I am a little nervous about Aprilia reliability.
What are your thoughts on this ?
Hey Doug! Always appreciate your kudos and you checking out the videos! 🙂
I'm delighted to hear you're considering one, and that I played a role in it 😁
As far as reliability goes, I have been happy thus far. Neither the Factory nor my old RR have ever let me down or left me stranded. The only strange thing that ever happened was one day, after riding in extremely windy conditions, I found a small stream of what seemed to be oil running down the side of the Factory while out on a ride. From what I gather, it is possible it came from the spark plug breather hole in the block on that side. I did stick a q-tip in there and got some residue, and what looked to be copper anti-seize as well. Down side is the only way to know for sure is to pull the cam covers and retainers to replace the little o-ring that seals the retainers against the head around the spark plug wells. Upside is it hasn't happened since that one time 😅 I just make sure to give the bike a good look over before heading out on a ride, something I'd be doing anyways 😉
Obviously I can't speak from experience with the 2021, but I think you'd be right to go for a test ride and see if that sells you. You'll never have the same peace of mind you get with a Honda, but I know I'm a lot happier than I would be on any other bike. The 1100 V4 seems to be pretty reliable across the board, especially in later model years, and since the 2021 uses the same engine, I think it would be even better built, if anything.
How do you like the electronics on track. Any setup advice? Asking for a friend
Hey Jhonny! I think they seem like they work pretty well, assuming they are working. The bike definitely makes me feel confident on track the way I have it. With the Diablo Rosso IIIs that are currently on the bike, I am running ATC 4, AWC 1, and ABS 1, and feel those work pretty well for the bike the way it is now. I had ATC on 3 when I had the bigger rear end slide in the video, and turned it up after that happened. I ran ATC 3 on my Tuono RR at the track on the Dunlop Q3+s and that worked great, given they are a bit stickier than the Rosso III. I also had the suspension set up for me, so that increases confidence and grip as well. What year is your friend's Tuono?
