## Aprilia SXR 160 — Pros & Cons

**What We Like**
- ✓ ABS (not just CBS) - among the very few scooters in India under Rs 1,50,000 with anti-lock braking
- ✓ Ventilated front disc with twin-pot caliper - the highest braking specification in Aprilia's Indian scooter lineup
- ✓ 7-litre fuel tank - the largest in any Aprilia scooter in India
- ✓ Full digital instrument cluster with USB charger and lockable glove box
- ✓ Maxi-scooter ergonomics - more comfortable upright riding position for longer commutes

**What Could Be Better**
- ✗ 35 kmpl ARAI - lowest mileage in Aprilia's Indian scooter lineup; real-world figures approximately 30-35 kmpl
- ✗ 129 kg kerb weight - 21 kg heavier than the SR 160, the heaviest Aprilia scooter sold in India
- ✗ No Bluetooth connectivity at Rs 1,32,000 while the Yamaha Aerox 155 offers Bluetooth TFT at a similar price
- ✗ Reported discontinuation - confirm availability with a Piaggio dealer before purchasing
- ✗ Piaggio India service network concentrated in top metros - limited outside major cities

## Should You Buy the Aprilia SXR 160?
The Aprilia SXR 160 makes the strongest technical case of any Aprilia scooter in India: ABS, ventilated disc with twin-pot caliper, a 7-litre tank, full digital cluster, and USB charging are features that no rival in this displacement and price range matches as a complete package. The absence of Bluetooth is the one meaningful gap at Rs 1,32,000. The fundamental challenge is the discontinuation question - if confirmed, parts availability and resale value will decline over time, which changes the ownership calculus significantly. For buyers who can confirm stock availability and are in a Piaggio-served metro, the SXR 160 is a compelling premium scooter for its ABS braking and maxi-scooter practicality.

## FAQs

**Is Aprilia SXR 160 discontinued in India?**
There are reports that Piaggio India has removed the Aprilia SXR 160 from its official website and dealers may have stopped receiving new stocks. However, existing dealer inventory may still be available for purchase. Before visiting a showroom, contact your nearest Piaggio-Aprilia authorised dealer directly to confirm whether new SXR 160 units are currently in stock. If the SXR 160 has been formally discontinued, future spare parts and service availability may be affected over the long term.

**Does Aprilia SXR 160 have ABS?**
Yes. The Aprilia SXR 160 is one of the very few scooters in India priced under Rs 1,50,000 to offer ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) on the front wheel. The front brake is a ventilated disc with a twin-pot caliper and ABS - a significantly higher specification than the CBS (Combined Braking System) found on most 125cc-160cc scooters including the Aprilia SR 160, SR 125, and TVS NTorq 125. The rear brake is a drum without ABS.

**What is the difference between Aprilia SXR 160 and SR 160?**
The Aprilia SXR 160 and SR 160 share the same basic 160cc air-cooled engine but are fundamentally different scooters. The SXR 160 is a maxi-scooter with upright ergonomics, a 7-litre fuel tank, ABS (vs CBS on SR 160), ventilated disc with twin-pot caliper (vs standard disc on SR 160), a full digital instrument cluster, USB charger, and lockable glove box. It weighs 129 kg vs SR 160's 108 kg and costs Rs 1,32,000 vs SR 160's Rs 1,28,900. The SR 160 is lighter, more sporty in posture, and more fuel efficient (43.5 kmpl ARAI vs SXR's 35 kmpl). The SXR 160 is the correct choice for riders who prioritise comfort, braking safety (ABS), and practicality. The SR 160 is the choice for sporty urban riding with less weight.

**What is the real-world mileage of Aprilia SXR 160?**
The Aprilia SXR 160 delivers approximately 30-35 kmpl in real-world city and highway riding against the ARAI-rated 35 kmpl. In dense stop-start city traffic, expect 28-32 kmpl. On open roads, 33-36 kmpl is achievable. The 129 kg kerb weight and larger maxi-scooter body both contribute to higher fuel consumption than the SR 160. The 7-litre tank at 30-35 kmpl gives approximately 210-245 km of range per fill-up.

**What is the on-road price of Aprilia SXR 160 in Delhi?**
The Aprilia SXR 160 on-road price in Delhi is approximately Rs 1,55,000-1,60,000. This includes ex-showroom price of Rs 1,32,000, RTO registration (approximately 11% in Delhi), third-party insurance, own-damage insurance, and dealer handling charges. As there is only one variant (STD), there is no trim-level variation in the on-road price calculation.

**Aprilia SXR 160 vs Yamaha Aerox 155 - which is better?**
The Yamaha Aerox 155 wins on performance (15.3 PS liquid-cooled vs SXR 160's 10.99 PS air-cooled - a 39% power advantage), Bluetooth TFT display, lighter weight (115 kg vs 129 kg), and Yamaha's far wider service network. The Aprilia SXR 160 wins on braking (ABS vs Aerox's CBS), fuel tank size (7L vs 5.5L), and USB charging with lockable glove box. For outright performance, the Aerox 155 is the more capable scooter. For braking safety and long-range practicality, the SXR 160 has specific advantages. If current availability of the SXR 160 can be confirmed, it is a legitimate choice for the ABS-focused buyer; otherwise, the Aerox 155 is the more rational pick.

**What is the fuel tank capacity of Aprilia SXR 160?**
The Aprilia SXR 160 has a 7-litre fuel tank - the largest of any Aprilia scooter sold in India. This is 1.5 litres more than the SR 160 (5.5L), 1.2 litres more than the TVS NTorq 125 (5.8L), and 0.5 litres more than the Aprilia Storm 125 (6.5L). At real-world mileage of 30-35 kmpl, the 7-litre tank provides approximately 210-245 km of range per fill, reducing refuelling frequency compared to smaller-tanked alternatives.

**How many variants does Aprilia SXR 160 have?**
The Aprilia SXR 160 is available in a single variant (STD) priced at Rs 1,32,000 ex-showroom Delhi. It comes in four colour options. There is no higher-trim Race or Extrema variant within the SXR 160 lineup - all buyers get the same ABS, ventilated disc, digital cluster, USB charger, and lockable glove box regardless of colour choice.
