For 2019, the Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory gets new semi-active suspension, and subtle changes in the colour schemes. The talking point on the new updates is the new Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic semi-active suspension system, which offers two modes - semi-active and manual. On the semi-active mode, the bike's electronics will aid the rider in everything, while the manual setting allows the rider to pick their own settings and disable the electronics. The semi-active mode constantly evaluates the feedback from the front and rear suspension, and the rider's inputs to the throttle and brakes, and adjusts responses accordingly.

Also available is an advanced Object Based Tuning Interface (OBTi) which allows even further personalisation to the settings.
