One can pre-book the vehicle via the e-commerce site or at any Aprilia dealership across the nation. Production of the scooter is already underway at the company’s Baramati based facility in Pune. The company says that the SXR125 delivers “a great combination of style, performance and extraordinary comfortable riding experience, coupled with great ergonomics”. It’s the first scooter designed in Italy for the Indian market.

Powering the Aprilia SXR 125 is a 125cc, single-cylinder engine that does duty to the SR 125. It’s a BS6-compliant, three-valve fuel injected motor that’s tuned for generating a peak power of 9.4bhp and 8.2Nm of torque. The scooter will be assembled with 12-inch, 5-spoke alloy wheels. It will have disc brake at both ends along with the CBS (Combined Braking System). There will adjustable rear suspension.

In terms of design, the SXR 125 looks similar to the Aprilia SXR 160. Styling bits such as a tall visor, a wide front apron and long under seat panel seem borrowed from its bigger sibling. The scooter carries Aprilia’s latest global design language. Its wrap around LED headlamps with daytime position lamps and taillamp design are inspired by RS660.

Some of its other key features include signature Aprilia graphics, a dark windscreen, a raised handle bar and LED tail lights, a digital instrument cluster with mileage indicator and Bluetooth mobile connectivity, split glove box with USB charger and lit-up underseat storage. The SXR 125 will be offered in four colour options, namely, Matt Blue, Glossy White, Glossy Red and Matt Black.
