The SR150 Race Edition gets retuned engine for better performance and revised graphics to visually distinguish itself from the standard Aprilia SR150

Aprilia SR150

The Aprilia SR150 was without a shadow of doubt among the most important new two-wheeler launches of 2016. The SR150 shattered the stereotype that scooters are slow and not fun to ride with its performance and brilliant handling dynamics. At the launch, Piaggio India boss Stefano Pele had indicated that they were working on a sporty scooter and true to his word, Aprilia will launch the SR150 Race Edition. The new Italian scooter will be launched on February 9. The new Aprilia SR150 Race Edition will be powered by the same motor as seen on the stock scooter but has been retuned for better power output figures. The exact number or the performance gain hasn’t been disclosed yet but we are sure that acceleration of the new SR150 Race Edition will be better than the stock scooter.

The stock Aprilia SR150 draws its power from a 154.4cc air-cooled, single-cylinder motor which puts out 11.5PS at 7,000rpm and peak torque of 11.5Nm at 5,500rpm. The engine used in the SR150 is the same as the one seen on the Vespa 150 currently sold in India. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a CVT transmission. The sports scooter comes with a fuel tank capacity of 6 litres. To distinguish the SR150 Race Edition from the standard model, it sports a new maze grey colour, revised graphics, aggressive exhaust muffler while the rear wheel and monoshock spring are finished in red. The front alloy wheels is black while the front disc caliper gets golden colour. It is also suspected that the SR150 Race Edition might feature a digital instrument cluster but we can confirm that and other details after the launch. The Aprilia SR150 was launched at Rs 65,000 ex-showroom Delhi and we expect the Race Edition to carry a premium between Rs 3,000 and 5,000. We will be reporting live from the press conference on the morning of February so do follow our social media accounts and the website for updates.
