Good enough to satisfy my desired scooty
As of now I'm riding this from about 6-7 months, now I can definately say it's good enough to give you your desired comfort. Incomparable with the other scooters in this segment. Battery performance is good but wish the should be more long lasting. But it has some laging features like a noise from the front case of the scooty and moreover they didn't provide the foot pad. Incase you wish to ride with a lady wearing saree, it slightly can be a problem for you.

Unique Beast
I’ve travelled 4300kms in 6 months. Loved riding it in and around Bengaluru. Very comfortable. Wish the battery options would allow us stretch to 150 kms. The acceleration in exp mode is pretty low but the ride mode is perfect! The body protection is very well designed that no fall would impact the body.

Aprilia SXR 160 is built for better comfort
Aprilia SXR 160 can be considered as the successor to the older Kinetic Blaze and enters the Indian maxi scooter space right where the latter left off. Aprilia SXR 160 is built for better comfort and features than the SR 160 and promises to fill the niche that exists between a traditional Indian scooter and a proper maxi scooter.
