Aprilia Launches More Powerful SR 175 Scooter in India

Aprilia has launched the new SR 175 in India as a replacement for the SR 160. This updated model brings a more powerful engine, added features, and subtle design enhancements while retaining the sporty appeal of its predecessor.

The SR 175 carries over the same design language, offering a sporty look enhanced by dual LED headlamps, a flat floorboard, single-piece seat, grab handle, and upswept exhaust.It is available in two new colour schemes: Matt Primatic Black and Glossy Tech White. Other features include full LED lighting and a USB charging port for added convenience.

While the overall styling remains familiar, the most noticeable upgrade is the new 5.5-inch full-colour TFT display, a unit also seen on Aprilia's 457 twins. This digital console offers multiple display layouts and comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, enabling smartphone integration for call alerts, notifications, and music control via the Aprilia app.

The SR 175 gets a  larger 174.7cc engine, delivering 13.08 bhp at 7,200 rpm and 14.14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. This marks a modest increase of 2 bhp and 0.7 Nm over the outgoing SR 160. The engine is paired with a CVT transmission. 

In terms of mechanicals, the SR 175 retains the same underpinnings as its predecessor. The frame, suspension, and braking components remain unchanged. It features telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock, with braking managed by a front disc brake with single-channel ABS and a rear drum brake. The scooter rolls on 14-inch wheels wrapped in 120-section tyres at both ends.
