The Aprilia SXR 160 was one of the most awaited two-wheelers of 2020. The stylish maxi-scooter was finally launched in the Indian market in December last year. Thanks to its attractive design, interesting features, and peppy performance, it has been able to establish itself pretty well here in our country. Now, after achieving success in India, the Aprilia SXR 160 has made its way to Nepal. The Piaggio Group is already present in Nepal with Vespa since 2015. Now, it has broadened its range of high-end products in the country by launching the new Aprilia SXR 160.
Powering the new Aprilia SXR 160 is a
160cc single-cylinder engine that is capable of delivering 10.9 PS of max power
and 11.6 Nm of peak torque. It’s the same 3-valve motor that also powers the
Aprilia SR 160 that’s also available on sale in the Indian market. The
maxi-scooter comes with a pair of conventional telescopic forks upfront and a
single adjustable rear suspension. The braking duties are handled by a single
disc at the front and a drum brake at the rear aided by a single-channel ABS.
In terms of features, the Aprilia SXR 160
has a fully-digital instrument console that shows a plethora of information
such as average speed, top speed, fuel level, external temperature, instant
mileage, and more. The big bucket seat ensures that the comfort levels for both
the rider and pillion are maintained at all times. Apart from that, the
maxi-scooter also features full-LED lighting with LED DRLs, a large and dark
fly screen, feather-touch switchgear, and front lockable split glove boxes with
a USB charging socket.
