Aprilia SXR 160 Pros and Cons

  • SXR 160 Advantages

    Striking maxi-scooter styling; Smooth and responsive performance; Great overall high-speed stability

  • SXR 160 Disadvantages

    Stiff suspension setup leads to uncomfortable riding experience; Brake lever feel could have been better; Not much comfort and space for a maxi-scooter

  • Expert's Conclusion

    The Aprilia SXR 160 is a sporty 160cc scooter that will turn heads wherever it goes. But it is not a very practical scooter, despite being a maxi-style one. The Suzuki Burgman Street is a better option as it offers more space, comfort and is more affordable too.

Aprilia SXR 160 Expert Review

The Aprilia SXR 160 does stand out in the Indian two-wheeler market with its maxi-scooter design and striking visuals. But, how is it like to ride and experience as a daily commuter? Let’s take a look:

Design

The SXR 160, being of Italian origin and a creation from Aprilia, looks very appealing. It captures attention with its sporty design and the cool colour schemes on offer. Notably, it comes equipped with split LED headlights and DRLs inspired by the Aprilia RS 660. The integration of turn indicators into the headlights looks very good. The scooter's presence is highlighted by the big apron and the tall smoked windscreen.

While the SXR 160 is not an entirely new scooter, being based on the Aprilia SR160, it has a very striking look from the front. However, the rear-end appears disproportionate compared to the rest of the design.

Beyond the looks, the scooter stands out for its exceptional fit and finish quality levels. The Y-shaped alloy wheels look really stylish. Tight panel gaps add to the overall neatness of the design.

Engine, Performance and Mileage

The maxi-scooter is powered by the SR160 derived air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, generating 11PS at 7,200rpm and 12.13Nm at 5,500rpm. The revised gearing to improve the bottom-end performance is felt and the acceleration is very smooth, delivering a lively feel up to 60kmph, after which the performance tends to tone down a bit. Notably, the engine's refinement stands out, with minimal vibrations even at speeds exceeding 90kmph.

It reached a top speed of 98kmph in our tests (in a controlled environment) and the high-speed stability remains impressive up to 90kmph. However, beyond this point, the handlebar starts shaking slightly when dealing with imperfections on the road but that is because of the stiff front suspension.

Ride and Handling

Compared to the SR 160, which gets 14-inch wheels, the SXR 160 gets smaller 12-inch wheels. The steering on the maxi-scooter is not as swift and reactive as that of the SR 160, but it works well with the scooter's character. Despite this, the SXR 160 is enjoyable to navigate through corners and remains quite stable even when cornering at higher speeds. The 11kg increase in weight doesn't significantly hamper its agility, allowing it to move smoothly through traffic.

Regarding the brakes, the SXR 160 is equipped with a disc/drum brake setup. The disc brake offers a good bite, yet there's room for improvement in terms of lever feedback. Noteworthy is the inclusion of ABS, making it one of the few scooters in India with this feature. 

Comfort

The handlebar and instrument console are positioned low and away from the line of sight. The footboard space is also cramped, and doesn’t have much space to comfortably place your legs on it.

The floorboard is aligned upwards to place your feet in a comfortable way but it often requires the rider to intrude into the pillion seat for that. Despite Aprilia's claim of having the longest seat in the segment, the seat's hard cushioning, combined with the stiff suspension, creates a harsh riding experience.

Features

The SXR 160 comes equipped with an LCD digital display with lots of readouts such as average mileage, range, overall mileage, ambient temperature, max speed recorded, two tripmeters, tachometer, engine oil temperature, battery voltage, and more laid out in an organised manner. The addition of a mode button helps in navigating through various information smoothly while on the move.

A key appeal of maxi-scooters lies in the generous space they offer. The SXR 160 has a glovebox below the handlebar with two separate compartments. The left compartment has a USB charger, but the overall space in these compartments is somewhat limited. This extends to the underseat storage, which is not that much and can’t store even a half-face helmet.

One drawback worth mentioning is the absence of an external fuel filler cap and a multi-function key slot for seat access. Opening the seat requires the rider to get down from the scooter and slot the key on the side panel. Additionally, the lack of an engine kill switch is disappointing.

Verdict

The Aprilia SXR 160 is a good choice if you want a sporty and premium maxi-style scooter that looks and feels different from any other scooter in the market. However, the Aprilia SXR 160 falls short in delivering on the fundamental principles of a maxi-scooter, notably in the comfort and space departments. If you're in the market for a practical maxi-style scooter, then the Suzuki Burgman Street might suit you better as it not only provides more space, comfort, and mileage but also comes with a more affordable price tag.

    Aprilia SXR 160 is a maxi style scooter that is popular for its design and is a proper sporty and aggressive style scooter that really look like a bike but the rear mirror view is not good. The seat has enough space and it has a very linear torque and power and the performance is brillant but give some vibration and the seat is not comfortable. It is quite smooth and the tyre grips actually well but the suspension is hard for that feel bumps and for comfort this scooter is not good.

  • enjoy a legendary drive all the way

    This sporty scooter with sharp design and funky colors. Performance is zippy, thanks to the 160cc engine. It's got good pick-up and cruises comfortably at 60-70 kmph. Experience is enjoyable for city rides. The handling is sharp and it maneuvers well in traffic. But highway rides can be tiring for me. Overall, if you're looking for a stylish scooter with good performance and don't mind compromising a bit on mileage and storage space, the Aprilia SXR 160 could be a suitable choice.

    I've been riding an Aprilia

    I've been riding an aprilia sxr 160 for two years now, And clocked 20k kilometers.This is my honest take on the so-called maaxi scooter from the italian manufacturer.The vehicle is an instant head-turner for its unique style.I personally don't like the whole package but loves the look from the front, Especially the glowing head.Positivs first: it has amazing ride comfort, Beautifulstance, Economical if you drive under 40.Cons: they don't sell a lot of this model, So it's incredibly difficult to find parts.The after sales service is pathetic; i changed the service stations (in kerala) three times because technicians are careless, Clueless, Unresponsive, And unethical.One service center broke my bike's visor replacement of which is non existant.The key loose issue is prevalent across all aprilia vehicles.It could cause your vehicle stop abruptly during ride, Super dangerous.Batteries died like after 8 months, After i didn't able to ride the bike for like 4 days straight.The seat storage buckle is easily gets damaged and you cannot close the lid because the seat is designed to drag you to the tip.Fuel meter is ridiculous, It never shows the exact fuel.Sometimes you start riding and it shows 3 bars and 1 kilometers in, It goes back to low fuel.So you need to make a lot of calculations to get the fuel right.The pass light button is bit hard to use and sometimes malfunctions.And the fuel economy is terrible, Probably under 30 kmpl if you drive over 48kms if you're going to buy this vehicle, I'd suggest going through this checklist1.Check all the service stations ratings on google maps.If the ratings is below 4, Please bear in mind, You're going tonhabe a pathetic aftersales service.2.Parts are not easily available.To an extent it's not available at all.So, If you are buying this to daily commute that results in the vehicle with wear and tear, Don't buy.3.Be prepared for the loose keyset.The vehicle will stop, Won't self start, Would stop all in a sudden putting you in real danger.4.This is not economical at all.Expect frequent visits to petrol stations.
