Top Block for Aprilia Tuono 457
French specialist Top Block has a range of accessories for Aprilia's compact A2 license friendly Tuono 457 roadster. This new model shares its engine with the RS 457 and is clearly aimed at A2 license holders.
Among a range of road and track use "essentials" entirely manufactured in-house at their French headquarters, Top Block crash pads are machined from a single block of 'Ertacetal C' - a high-performance polyacetal copolymer ('engineering plastic') known for its excellent mechanical strength, rigidity, and hardness.
This material also offers superior shock and wear resistance, while promoting controlled sliding in case of impact. The sleek, compact design blends seamlessly with the bike's lines.
The pads are mounted on 8 mm thick steel brackets, laser-cut and folded, then finished with a black epoxy coating. Each bracket uses three mounting points for enhanced durability. The complete pad-and-bracket system integrates perfectly with the sharp design of the new Aprilia roadster.
For those who want to refine the bike's look, a high-mount license plate holder is also available. Once installed in place of the original unit, it gives the rear end a much cleaner appearance - retaining only the small indicators and taillight. The bracket is laser-cut from an aluminum sheet, then precision shaped and finished with a black epoxy coating.
It has a removable reflector mount, fits OEM or aftermarket indicator installations (adapter kit included), comes with a road-legal SMD LED unit by TBR (Top Block Racing) and meets license plate angle regulations. Many Top Block products are backed by a 5-year warranty.
