What’s New with the Aprilia SR 175?
India’s sporty scooter game is getting louder, and Aprilia’s latest entry is ready to make some serious noise. The new Aprilia SR 175 has been spotted at dealerships and is expected to launch in July 2025. This isn’t just a cosmetic update the SR 175 brings solid upgrades over the SR 160 and is aimed at riders who want both power and presence.
Design That Still Turns Heads
Aprilia hasn’t changed what works. The SR 175 carries forward the aggressive styling of the SR 160, with sharp cuts, 14-inch alloy wheels and signature sporty lines. But there’s a twist new colorways like white-red and purple-red give it a fresh look, straight from the brand’s sportbike DNA.
Powertrain Upgrade: More Cubes, More Muscle
The big change? A bigger 174.7cc air-cooled engine under the seat. It produces around 12.92 hp at 7,200 rpm and 14.14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. That’s a healthy jump over the outgoing SR 160, making the SR 175 quicker off the line and better at urban sprints or highway flyovers.
While rivals like Yamaha Aerox have liquid cooling, Aprilia is banking on the simplicity and character of a high-capacity air-cooled motor.
TFT Display and Bluetooth Tech
This time the cockpit’s gone digital in style. The SR 175 ditches the dated LCD for a full-color TFT display, likely borrowed from Aprilia’s RS and Tuono 457 bikes. Expect Bluetooth connectivity to pair your phone, manage calls and check notifications on the go without looking dated.
Familiar Yet Functional Hardware
Under the skin the SR 175 sticks to proven components:
- Suspension setup includes a front telescopic fork and a rear monoshock, tuned for everyday comfort and confident handling.
- Front disc brake with single-channel ABS for better safety
- Rear drum brake to keep things simple
- 14-inch wheels that feel nimble in city traffic
Expected Price and RivalsPrice: ₹1.31 lakh (ex-showroom)
SourcesSources suggest an ex-showroom price of around ₹1.31 lakh, which is surprisingly close to the SR 160’s tag. That makes it a tempting deal for those who want more without stretching the budget. Its key rivals? Its closest competition comes from performance-focused scooters like the Aerox and newer entries such as Hero’s larger-capacity Xoom.
