Aprilia today launched its most affordable scooter yet, the Storm 125. At Rs 65,000 (ex-showroom, Pune), it is around Rs 8,000 more affordable than the Aprilia SR 125. This price point gets the Aprilia Storm new rivals in the form of the Honda Grazia, TVS NTorq 125, Hero Maestro Edge 125 and Suzuki Burgman Street. How does Aprilia’s new scooter stack against these 125cc scooters? We find out by comparing them on paper.

Powertrain:

Here the Aprilia Storm makes the most power while the Grazia makes the most amount of torque here. So on paper, the Grazia should offer better acceleration while the Storm could offer better performance at higher speeds. The Storm also has the biggest fuel tank here and should easily offer the best range among all the scooters here.

Underpinnings:

Here, all scooters get telescopic forks and a single rear shock absorber. The NTorq 125 though gets a gas charged rear shock absorber. It also has the largest front disc brake setup here. The Storm disappoints by missing out on a front disc brake, even as an option. It, however, gets the fattest tyres here along with the largest rear drum brake. All scooters here now come with CBS. In terms of safety though, the NTorq 125 is the clear winner.

Features:

In terms of features, the TVS NTorq 125 is head and shoulders above the competition, followed by the Burgman and Grazia. If it is looks you are after, nothing stands out more than the Aprilia Storm with its sharp bodywork, bright colours and chunky wheels. It, however, misses out on tech features to keep costs low.

Verdict:

When it comes to value-for-money, no one does it better than the TVS Ntorq 125. This 125cc scooters the best in terms of features and suspension kit. The fact that it costs just Rs 300 more than the Aprilia makes it a no brainer. If you want a 125cc scooter to stand out of the crowd, it simply has to be the Aprilia Storm. The Honda Grazia will appeal to a mature audience. The Maestro Edge 125 doesn't really impress on paper but if you are considering this scooter, we would recommend the slightly more expensive FI version. The Suzuki Burgman Street is the most expensive scooter here and offers a unique and premium riding experience.
