Pricing too high for this scooter

The looks and design of Aprilia SXR 160 are similar to Aprilia SXR 125 but performance is upgraded and boosted. the engine is now more powerful and smooth and the handling is also made very soft. the mileage offered in urban areas is around 33-38 kmpl. the suspension is little bit stiff and the brakes are not much responsive. The main demerit of this scooter is it's pricing as it is very high than other scooters of this segment.

High speed stability

The premium and maxi style Aprilia SXR 160 scooter has every feature you could possibly need. While the suspension design provides excellent high speed stability and the longest seat in the class, it is an uncomfortable ride. The brakes could be improved, but the acceleration is very smooth and handles well in traffic. The scooter functionality and fit and finish are all very good, but its comfort and spacing are not. The engine is expensive even though it is powerful and provides a good package.

exceeding the limits

Aprilia sxr 160 has a similar design of sxr 125 but the performance is an enhanced. my experience with this scooter is moderate as the mileage is not appreciable and the maintenance cost is also little bit costly. the only thing I liked is it's design otherwise on the basis of performance, comfort and durability I will not prefer to buy such expensive two wheeler for daily commuters.

Uncomfortable and low mileage

The comfort and space in this scooter is not good because it is a maxi style scooter and my uncle feels uncomfortable riding with this scooter. In terms of performance it performs really well and is also very responsive but the brakes are not good. At around 100 to 120 kmph of speed it is very stable but the suspension is not good and absorbent so the ride quality is not good. For city rides it is good but for the highway it performs bad and the mileage is also low.

Aprilia SXR 160 Pros and Cons

SXR 160 Positives Points: Striking maxi-scooter styling; Smooth and responsive performance; Great overall high-speed stability

SXR 160 Negatives Points: Stiff suspension setup leads to uncomfortable riding experience; Brake lever feel could have been better; Not much comfort and space for a maxi-scooter

Zigwheels 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.

I've been riding an Aprilia

3.0

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.

Every trip is entertaining

I own an Aprilia SXR 160 with a friend, and we really like riding it to work every day! Every trip is entertaining and fun because to the scooter's performance and stylish appearance. The SXR 160 never lets us down, whether we're travelling to college or just touring the city. It certainly stands out on the road because to its fashionable appearance. The presence of front disc brakes and rear drum brakes provides dependable braking control for increased safety. It seems light to handle and manoeuvre at 129 kg. It's appropriate for our regular journeys with a gasoline tank size of 7 gallons. The Aprilia SXR 160 is an excellent scooter all around that makes our travels interesting and fun.

Problems in SXR 160

njust lazy

Bought in April 2021. Covered ~5k km as of 21 Feb 2022. A bigger than average-sized scooter is good for taller people. Changed fuel injection system under warranty just after 2.5k km. Extremely unreliable and issues with quality control - ABS is temperamental and only works when it wants to, Squeaky suspension noise, Plastic panel misalignment, Indicator button malfunction. Service centre folks are either clueless or just lazy. Overall, a pretty bad experience. Honestly, It's an amazing scooter to ride when everything works as it should.

Delightful package ride

The Aprilia SXR 160 is a delightful mix of style and performance, sporting Italian design and massive engineering. The 160cc engine gives a nice pickup while consuming less fuel. The roomy seat and additional storage cater for practicality, the ideal choice for urban riders. On the other hand, a firm suspension can be uncomfortable on rough roads, and excessive price might deter some customers. Overall, the SXR 160 gives you a good riding experience with its appealing design and exciting performance. It therefore is a good option if you want both a good looking and good performing scooter.

A Stylish Commuter

Having owned the Aprilia SXR 160 for the past few months, I had a mixed bag of experiences. Right off the bat, this scooter commands attention with its sleek Italian styling and impressive build quality. Powered by a vigorous 160cc ,3 valve engine it churns out about 10 HP which makes it one of the most powerful scooters in its segment. The pickup is remarkable and it cruises smoothly at high speeds without much vibration.However, while it excels in performance, it is equally heavy on the pocket. Clocking in at around 40 km/l, the fuel efficiency is not going to win any awards.

Best Scooter

Got this vehicle a week ago, and the red color is really amazing. The riding experience is very nice, and the looks are also good. It roughly gives a mileage of 45 kmpl per liter while riding on highways and 38 kmpl while riding within the city. There is plenty of space in the boot, and leg space is more than sufficient for a person with a height of 5'9. It has a stunning display that shows time, temperature, rpm, etc. I reckon this vehicle has a lot of features like Bluetooth connectivity ( text, call notification, etc.) which will be updated in the future.
