In India, scooters are usually considered convenient, easy to ride, and good for everyday use. But the Aprilia SR 160 is one of the few exceptions that adds fun and excitement.
Aprilia, an Italian company, makes the sporty scooter called the SR 160. It replaced the Aprilia SR 150 in India when it came out in 2020.
Even before it came out, the Aprilia SR 160 was an interesting and unique product. It has a strong engine, handles sharply and precisely, and has great brakes. And with the new changes, it’s even more appealing.
The price is high, especially after the recent price hike, which is a big deal. But Piaggio has always meant for its products to be more expensive.
The front of the scooter is sharp and angular, with a two-tone paint job and sleek LED headlights. The front frame is also made to look sporty and gives the vehicle a strong stance.
The Aprilia SR 160 has a sharp side profile with sharp lines and a carved body. The contoured leather seat is shaped to be both comfortable and sporty.
At the back, the scooter incorporates a chunkier grab rail, an X-shaped LED tail light, and an aerodynamic mudguard that adds to the stylish look. The exhaust is also made to look athletic, which adds to the scooter’s aggressive look.
The Aprilia SR 160 is available in five colour options:
The Aprilia SR 160 is available in three variants:

The bore and stroke dimensions are 58 mm x 60.6 mm, with an 8.8:1 compression ratio. The engine is equipped with an electronic fuel injection (EFI) system and is mated to a CVT gearbox.

The front telescopic fork with 30 mm inner tube suspension handles the bumps and shocks on the road, making the bike easier to control and more stable. The rear monoshock suspension is adjustable, so riders can change how smoothly the ride suits their tastes.
