- Expect the upcoming scooter to get a similar design language as the SXR 160.
- It could be powered by the same 125cc fuel-injected motor as the Aprilia SR 125 BS6.
- The scooter is likely to cost around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 over the SR 125.
Aprilia stood as a small ray of hope amidst an otherwise dull auto expo with the unveiling of the SXR 160. The Italian brand is likely to introduce a smaller-engined version too, which will presumably be called the SXR 125. It is likely to cost around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 over the SR 125. It may be launched after the SXR 160 goes on sale in mid-2020.
Just like how the Aprilia SR 125 and the SR 150 share underpinnings and design language, the brand could replicate the same in the SXR range too. That means it is likely to get the same design as the SXR 160, complete with LED lighting system and a large LCD instrument console with optional smartphone connectivity.
It could be powered by the same 125cc fuel-injected engine as the SR 125. This BS6-compliant motor makes 10PS at 7700rpm and 9.7Nm at 6000rpm.
The underpinnings could be similar to the SR 125 BS6, with a telescopic front fork and a single rear shock absorber. However, instead of the 14-inch units on the SR 125, it could ride on 12-inch ones. To keep the costs competitive, Aprilia could also offer a front drum brake variant apart from the disc-brake-equipped model.
The upcoming SXR 125 will essentially carry the genes of the SXR 160 but in a more affordable package, without compromising on the style and features. Once launched, it will be a direct competitor to the Suzuki Burgman Street BS6, which is set to be launched soon.

Aprilia SXR 125 User Reviews
- Aprilia SXR 125 is the best scooterAs 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.Read More
- Detailed review of Aprilia SXR 125I 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.Read More1
