Aprilia SR 175 Design and Features.
From the showroom images that have surfaced, it is clear that the Aprilia SR 175 looks similar to its predecessor, the SR 160. The sharp, aggressive, and sporty styling still feels quite fresh, even if the design looks a little dated.
But this time, Aprilia has made the scooter a little more dynamic with new graphics and RS 457 & Tuono 457-inspired colour schemes. The most noticeable upgrade is the new TFT digital display, which is the first time an Aprilia scooter has been given.
This screen feels quite premium, and according to the leaked videos, it also displays a lot of information along with Bluetooth connectivity. In place of the old LCD console, this TFT unit looks a lot more modern and sporty.
Engine and Performance: More Muscle Under The Hood.
Aprilia has made a big jump in the power department as well. The Aprilia SR 175 now gets a bigger 175cc air-cooled engine that produces more power and torque than the 160.03cc unit on the SR 160. While the exact figures haven’t been officially confirmed yet, it is clear that this scooter is made for performance freaks.
For reference, the SR 160 produced 11.11 bhp and 13.44 Nm of torque – so the SR 175 will bring better output than that. Engine refinement and pick-up are also expected to get better, especially since Aprilia is pitching this as a flagship sporty scooter.
Hardware and Ride Quality: No Major Changes Here.
If we talk about the hardware setup of the scooter, there are no major mechanical changes here. SR 175 still comes with 14-inch alloy wheels, telescopic front forks, and rear monoshock – the same as the SR 160.
The braking system also gets the familiar setup – single-channel ABS with front disc and rear drum brakes. That means the ride dynamics are expected to be similar to the SR 160, but with more power, the riding experience could get more engaging.
SR 175 Launch Date in India: Official Reveal Coming Very Soon.
Now that the scooter has reached the showrooms, it means the launch is almost here. Dealership sources say that the official launch of the Aprilia SR 175 will be announced in the next few days.
The company will also officially roll out variant-wise pricing and full specifications. If you are planning to buy a performance scooter, then this is the perfect time to wait for Aprilia’s announcement.
Aprilia SR 175 Price in India: More Power, Same Tag.
The most surprising thing is that the starting price of the Aprilia New Upcoming Model SR 175 is the same as that of the SR 160 – ₹1.31 lakh (ex-showroom). That means there’s no major price jump despite the extra power, extra tech (like the TFT screen), and new colours.
The move puts Aprilia in a strong position, pricing-wise, against rivals like the Yamaha Aerox 155. The company has made a good move to grab customers by not changing the price.
For those looking for a premium scooter, this could be a value-for-money performance option, especially for those who are fans of Aprilia’s European styling and ride feel.
Should You Wait for This Bike?
If you are looking for a performance-oriented, stylish, and tech-loaded scooter, then the Aprilia SR 175 should be on your list. More power, better screen, sporty design, and same price point – this combination is quite rare.
So now my question is, are you excited for the SR 175? Will it offer better value than the Aerox 155? Or are you waiting for some other rival? Let us know in the comments – and if you like scooter updates, do share the article!
