Hello riders! Aprilia has finally taken the wraps off its much-anticipated Aprilia SR 175, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons. This brand-new scooter from the Italian two-wheeler giant combines aggressive styling, sporty performance, and cutting-edge features—all while targeting practical everyday use. If you’ve been looking for a performance scooter that offers both looks and substance, the Aprilia SR 175 might just be your next ride.
Aprilia SR 175 Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the Aprilia SR 175 is powered by a 175cc air-cooled engine that produces a maximum power output of 9.5 kW (approx. 13 PS) at 7,200 RPM and torque of 14.14 Nm at 6,000 RPM. This means it delivers strong acceleration and quick throttle response, offering more initial punch compared to the Yamaha Aerox 155.
While it’s an air-cooled engine (and not liquid-cooled), the SR 175 is still tuned for city rides and moderate long-distance commutes, though it might face heating issues in prolonged traffic jams or extended highway rides.
Design & Build Quality
The design DNA stays true to Aprilia’s racing spirit. With its aggressive stance, sharp lines, and sleek body panels, the SR 175 looks like a proper street machine. It rides on 120/70-14 tyres—the same tyre profile seen on the SR 150 and SR 160—which ensures a good grip and confident handling, even on Indian roads.
From the left profile, it presents a clean, premium look with a sporty edge. The scooter skips a kick start and is self-start only, emphasizing its modern appeal.
Features: TFT Display, Bluetooth & More
One of the biggest highlights of the Aprilia SR 175 is its brand-new TFT display, which is around 80% similar to the one on the Aprilia RS 457. This high-resolution unit offers:
- Smooth animations
Premium interface
Bluetooth connectivity
Night mode themes
Hybrid analog-digital layout
This is a segment-first feature, adding a high-tech edge to the scooter, especially for urban riders who want style and utility combined.
Exhaust Note and Emission Tech
Another standout element is the refined and sporty exhaust note. It doesn’t just sound good—it’s smart too. The SR 175 is equipped with dual O2 sensors, one in the muffler and one in the bend pipe, which:
Helps in precision fuel tuning, Enhances emission control, Offers better engine performance in various conditions
This setup aligns with BS6 Phase 2 emission norms, making it both performance-friendly and environmentally responsible.
Ride Quality and Handling
With its wide tyres, tuned suspension, and well-balanced chassis, the Aprilia SR 175 offers responsive handling and strong initial acceleration. It’s been built for sporty yet practical riding, making it ideal for city commutes, quick highway runs, and even weekend joyrides.
The strong initial pull will impress anyone switching from a lower CC scooter, while the stability ensures a confident ride even at higher speeds.
