Aprilia Storm 125 — Overview

The Aprilia Storm 125 is a scooter available at a starting price of Rs. 1,14,613 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 2 colours. It is powered by a 124.45 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 36.5 kmpl. With front disc and rear drum brakes, the Aprilia Storm 125 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Storm 125 scooter weighs 118 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 6 liters. It develops a power output of 9.97 bhp and a torque of 10.33 Nm.

The Aprilia Storm 125 (officially the Aprilia SR Storm) is a 124.49cc adventure-crossover scooter priced at Rs 1,14,613 ex-showroom Delhi - the most affordable scooter in Aprilia's Indian lineup. It stands apart from every other 125cc scooter with 12-inch alloy wheels shod in knobby Vee Rubber tyres, a 3-valve air-cooled FI engine producing 9.92 PS, and a 6.5-litre fuel tank - the largest in the Aprilia 125cc range. ARAI-rated mileage is 50.08 kmpl. The Storm 125 is available in a single variant (STD) in two colours - red and yellow - with front disc and CBS as standard. It has no Bluetooth connectivity. Made in India at Piaggio's Pune facility.

What We Like

  • Only adventure-crossover scooter in the 125cc segment - unique positioning with 12-inch knobby tyres
  • 6.5-litre fuel tank is the largest in the Aprilia 125cc lineup, giving approximately 230-260 km range
  • 50.08 kmpl ARAI - best mileage rating in Aprilia's 125cc lineup
  • Front disc brake with CBS standard on the only variant
  • 775mm seat height - lower than SR 125, more accessible for shorter riders

What Could Be Better

  • No Bluetooth, no digital instrument cluster - analogue twin-pod display is dated at this price
  • 118 kg kerb weight - same as NTorq 125 Race XP but priced Rs 10,600 more without any connectivity features
  • 12-inch knobby tyres compromise highway stability and wet-road precision
  • Piaggio India service network thin outside top metros
  • Real-world mileage (~36-38 kmpl) falls significantly short of ARAI's 50.08 kmpl claim

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Aprilia Storm 125?

The Aprilia Storm 125 is India's only 125cc adventure-crossover scooter, and that uniqueness is both its greatest strength and its central challenge. The knobby tyres, upright stance, and Italian brand identity create a scooter that looks and feels like nothing else under Rs 1,20,000. The 6.5-litre tank and front disc standard are genuine ownership advantages. But the analogue instrument cluster, absence of Bluetooth in a segment where the NTorq 125 has SmartXonnect, and real-world mileage that underdelivers against ARAI's figure are meaningful weaknesses. Buy the Storm 125 if its crossover character speaks to you and you are in a metro with Piaggio service access. If technology, smart connectivity, or service network outside metros matter, the TVS NTorq 125 is the more rational choice for less money.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the on-road price of Aprilia Storm 125 in Delhi?▾
The Aprilia Storm 125 on-road price in Delhi is approximately Rs 1,35,000-1,38,000. This includes ex-showroom price of Rs 1,14,613, RTO registration (approximately 11% in Delhi), third-party insurance, own-damage insurance, and dealer handling charges. There is only one variant (STD), so on-road price is uniform for the Storm 125 in Delhi.
QWhat is the real-world mileage of Aprilia Storm 125?▾
The Aprilia Storm 125 delivers approximately 36-40 kmpl in real-world city and highway riding, against the ARAI-rated 50.08 kmpl. In dense city traffic with frequent stops, expect 34-37 kmpl. The knobby Vee Rubber tyres increase rolling resistance compared to slick road tyres, which contributes to the gap between ARAI and real-world figures. On open roads, 38-42 kmpl is achievable. The 6.5-litre tank gives approximately 230-260 km per fill-up in mixed riding.
QWhat is the difference between Aprilia Storm 125 and Aprilia SR 125?▾
The Aprilia Storm 125 and SR 125 are two different 125cc scooters with distinct characters. The Storm 125 is an adventure-crossover scooter with 12-inch alloy wheels fitted with knobby Vee Rubber tyres, a 6.5-litre fuel tank, 775mm seat height, an analogue twin-pod instrument cluster, and 118 kg kerb weight. The SR 125 is a sporty scooter with 14-inch front wheels, road-biased tyres, a 5.5-litre tank, 790mm seat height, a full digital instrument cluster, and 102 kg kerb weight. The SR 125 base has drum front brakes; the Storm 125 STD has front disc as standard. The Storm 125 is priced Rs 1,287 lower than the SR 125 base at Rs 1,14,613 vs Rs 1,15,900.
QDoes Aprilia Storm 125 have Bluetooth?▾
No. The Aprilia Storm 125 does not have Bluetooth connectivity on its only available variant. There is no smartphone app connectivity, navigation hints, or call notifications. The Storm 125 uses an analogue twin-pod instrument cluster - unlike the SR 125 and SR 160 which use full digital displays. At Rs 1,14,613, this is a meaningful gap versus the TVS NTorq 125 Race XP (Rs 1,03,990) which offers SmartXonnect Bluetooth and three riding modes.
QAprilia Storm 125 vs TVS NTorq 125 - which is better?▾
The TVS NTorq 125 is the more practical and feature-rich choice: Bluetooth SmartXonnect connectivity, three riding modes (Race XP variant), lighter or equal kerb weight, a wider TVS service network, and lower price (Rs 95,500-1,03,990 vs Storm 125's Rs 1,14,613). The Aprilia Storm 125 wins on fuel tank size (6.5L vs 5.8L), Italian brand identity, unique adventure-crossover styling, and front disc as standard on its only variant. For most buyers, the NTorq 125 delivers more for less money. The Storm 125 is the correct choice only if its distinctive crossover character is specifically what you want.
QIs Aprilia Storm 125 worth buying in 2026?▾
The Aprilia Storm 125 is worth buying if its adventure-crossover identity is the specific reason you are considering it - there is no other 125cc scooter in India with this combination of knobby tyres, upright stance, and Italian brand identity. It is not worth buying if technology features (Bluetooth, digital display, riding modes), service network accessibility outside metros, or value-for-money are the primary decision factors. At Rs 1,14,613, the TVS NTorq 125 Race XP at Rs 1,03,990 offers significantly more features for less money.
QWhat is the fuel tank capacity of Aprilia Storm 125?▾
The Aprilia Storm 125 has a 6.5-litre fuel tank - the largest in the Aprilia 125cc lineup (the SR 125 and SR 160 both have 5.5-litre tanks). At real-world mileage of 36-40 kmpl, the 6.5-litre tank delivers approximately 230-260 km per fill-up. This gives the Storm 125 meaningfully longer range than the SR 125 (approximately 210-230 km) and better range than the TVS NTorq 125 (approximately 245-255 km with its 5.8L tank).
QWhat tyres does the Aprilia Storm 125 use?▾
The Aprilia Storm 125 uses 12-inch alloy wheels fitted with knobby Vee Rubber tyres - the same tyre type used on light adventure motorcycles and crossover scooters. These tyres provide better grip on unpaved surfaces, kerb climbing, and broken city roads compared to the road-biased slick tyres on the SR 125 and SR 160. The trade-off is increased rolling resistance on smooth highways, slightly reduced top-speed stability, and marginally lower real-world fuel efficiency compared to what the ARAI test cycle measures.
