Aprilia enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for the arrival of the smaller capacity maxi-styled SXR 125 in India. Why so? Well, it’s expected to be a lot cheaper than its older sibling, the SXR 160. Or so we thought. We’ve managed to get our hands on the price of the scooter, and it’s a bit of a letdown. The SXR 125 is priced at Rs 1.16 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) which is Rs 11,000 cheaper than the SXR 160 but almost Rs 27,000 more expensive than its arch rival, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125. In fact, you could save around Rs 38,000 and get yourself the TVS Ntorq 125.
Pre-bookings for the scooter have already commenced via the company’s website for a token amount of Rs 5,000. Expect the scooter to be launched by the end of this month or in the early weeks of May 2021.
The Aprilia SXR 125 follows the same maxi design styling as its elder sibling. In fact, the only way to tell the two apart is to ride them since both the models feature the exact same colour options. The engine, of course, is the only difference. This smaller SXR is powered by a 124.45cc 3-valve mill that puts out 9.9PS and 9.6Nm, just like the Storm 125. Although, expect Aprilia to tune the CVT a bit differently, as it did on the SXR 160 for better bottom-end performance.

Thankfully, the suspension on the SXR 160 isn’t as stiff as the SR160. In fact, it’s one of the best riding Aprilias, something we noticed while testing the scooter. And the same can be expected from the SXR 125. It uses 12-inch wheels shod with the same chunky and grippy MRF tyres as the SXR 160. It does get a disc brake at the front but will only get CBS.
The pricing of the scooter is still on the premium side and a lot more than we had anticipated. How Aprilia intends to justify the price is up to anyone’s guess. What do you think, is Rs 1.16 lakh for a 125cc scooter acceptable? Let us know in the comments.
Aprilia SXR 125 User Reviews
As a 6.2 feet tall person, Aprilia SXR 125 is the best scooter for me. The headlight is very bright. The experience of riding this bike is good. While riding at higher speeds, I heard a small sound from the engine. Pricing for service is reasonable. Brakes push inwards or work in the other direction. Suspension is a bit stiff. I am disappointed as I was waiting for the Bluetooth feature.
I have been using Aprilia SXR 125 since April of 2023. Good handling, Nice design, Bad fuel efficiency, High Maintainace (service advised every three months, which is not the case with other scooters). I have ridden less than 1300 Km in a year. Last week, the clutch of the scooter broke while i was getting it to the service center for the 5th service. The parts were replaced, but all expenses are out of my pocket, the 5 years warranty which was offered does not cover this repair. The explanation I was given is that the clutch was damaged because I rode the scooter with the brake engaged. This made no sense to me as I have owned two other scooters with no one else operating the vehicles. For 15 years I had a TVS scooty pep+ without such clutch issues. And under 1300 km usage, damaged the Aprila scooter's clutch in my use. I am thinking of going to the consumer court. I would like to know if any other Aprilia customer has faced the similar situation.
My commute has been totally transformed by the Aprilia SXR 125. Smooth and strong, its 125cc engine is ideal for city traffic. Often riding with me, my sister likes the cozy seats and the roomy luggage storage. Though first dubious about its contemporary features, my father now appreciates its computerized console and effective braking system. Every ride has been pleasurable because of the sophisticated features and stylish look of the SXR 125. It's more to me than simply a scooter; it's a performance, comfort, and style combination that makes my everyday commute easy and pleasurable. On the highway, it is a dependable travel buddy.
