What’s New on the Aprilia SR 175?
Aprilia’s back in the spotlight with a fresh upgrade – the SR 175 is here to shake things up for sporty scooter fans.
Set to launch by July 2025, the SR 175 takes what worked with the SR 160 and dials it up — stronger engine, smarter tech, and bold new colors.
Engine & Performance Upgrade
The biggest highlight is what’s under the bonnet. The SR 175 packs a 174.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, churning out 12.92 hp at 7200 rpm and 14.14 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm.
That’s a big jump over the SR 160 and should translate to quicker acceleration and stronger mid-range pull for both city sprints and long hauls.
Tech Takes a Leap
Goodbye basic LCDs. The SR 175 gets a full-color TFT display like what you’d find on Aprilia’s bigger bikes like the RS 457.
Expect Bluetooth connectivity, call alerts and music playback right from the cockpit features that make everyday life easier.
Design Still Stands Out
Styling remains the same SR DNA edgy panels, sharp cuts and 14-inch alloy wheels.
What’s new are the color options White/Red and Purple/Red inspired by Aprilia’s race machines. It still looks like it belongs on a track.
Price & Value
Initial dealer whispers suggest a price of ₹1.31 lakh (ex-showroom) which is just above the SR 160’s starting price.
For what it adds, this seems like a good deal.
Under the Body
The underpinnings carry forward what worked well: telescopic forks, rear monoshock, and front disc brake with single-channel ABS a setup known for a stable and confident ride.
Should You Upgrade?
If you’re riding the SR 160 or looking for a sporty scooter that combines performance and tech, the SR 175 is a clear upgrade.
More power, smarter display and aggressive looks without burning a bigger hole in your pocket.
