Aprilia SXR 160 Maxi-scooter Officially Launched in Nepal

Aprilia SXR 160 is now available in Nepal.

MV Dugar Group, the authorized distributor of Aprilia scooters in Nepal, has launched its first-ever maxi-scooter. The new scooter brings a fresh design to the table, packed with awesome features!

Aprilia SXR 160 is based on Aprilia SR’s 160cc engine, which was not available in Nepal. However, the new SXR 160 is Aprilia’s entry into both the maxi-scooter segment and the 160cc scooter segment in  Nepal.

Regardless, SXR 160 is now available for purchase in Nepal, fitting it right at home with the growing popularity of performance scooters.

We will talk about the pricing, specs, and more in a bit. Before that, let’s take a quick look at everything you should know about the new Aprilia SXR 160 in Nepal.

Aprilia SXR 160 Overview

Design

Aprilia SXR 160 is set to feature a drastically different style.

Compared to traditional SR models, Aprilia SXR comes with a maxi-scooter design. It will come with a larger frame and spacious legroom. It is now both practical and sporty which is a rare commodity in this day and age.

Interestingly, it still reserves the classic Aprilia styling with its sharp colors and sporty graphics. However, it does take a tad-bit inspiration from the Aprilia SRV 850.

Other than the familiar maxi-scooter design, it comes with unique characteristics like a multi-LED headlamp, large windshield, stylish alloy wheels, and a larger handlebar.

Performance

Aprilia SXR 160 will be powered by a 160.3cc BS6-compliant engine. It can generate a max power of 11PS at 7100rpm and max torque of 11Nm at 5750rpm. Moreover, it is mated to a traditional CVT transmission.

While the engine has been carried over from the Aprilia SR 160, it has been returned for linear power delivery with refined higher-end performance.

But that’s not all the difference between the SXR 160 and SR 160. The maxi-scooter opted in for a softer suspension setup thanks to smaller 12-inch tyres.

How will this affect the on-road experience? Well, we will find out soon enough.
