The upcoming Aprilia SXR 160 was first showcased in India earlier this year at the 2020 Auto Expo.

However, the launch of the maxi-scooter was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. But now, the launch is finally happening very soon. Talking about its looks, so as the Aprilia SXR 160 is a maxi-scooter, it looks quite handsome and has a macho appeal. The new Aprilia SXR 160 is longer, broader and more spacious than almost all the other scooters currently on sale in India. At the front, it gets big twin LED headlamps with LED DRLs.

Talking about the powertrain, so the all-new 2021 Aprilia SXR 160 will most likely share the motor with the Aprilia SR 160 ABS.

The motor will churn out around 11.01 PS of maximum power at 7600 RPM and 11.6 Nm of peak torque at 6000 RPM. The engine will come mated to a CVT and the company might tune it slightly differently to match its maxi-scooter characteristics. The braking duties on the scooter will be performed by disc brakes at either end and it will get a single-channel ABS too. For suspension duties, it will get telescopic forks at the front and spring-loaded dual shock absorbers at the rear.
