Piaggio Unveils Aprilia SR 150 Scooter at the Auto Expo

In yet another industry first, Piaggio India today unveiled India’s first Sport-Scooterbike – Aprilia SR 150 designed for the country’s discerning young riders who are looking for the sensation of sport bikes and the convenience of automatic scooters in their daily city commute. The innovative Aprilia SR 150 has the unique design which perfectly blends the cues of motorbikes and scooters. This cross over with its powerful 150cc engine, 14 inch big wheels like motor bikes and auto gears like motor scooters is set to carve out a new category in the country’s booming two-wheeler market.

Aprilia SR 150 is characterised by an aggressive sporty style. The design reflects the character of brand Aprilia. The distinct sporty handlebar, the light unit included in the shield and above all the pronounced ‘beak’ on the front wheel characterise the front end. The large black 14" alloy wheels with five spokes show off the decisive and sporty design drawn from the Aprilia racing bikes. The raw power of 150cc enhances the liveliness of a vehicle born to make every city ride fun, fitted with sport street tyres and 220 mm front disc and 140 mm rear drum brakes.

To be manufactured at Piaggio’s state of the art Baramati plant, the Aprilia SR 150 is all set to be launched in the Indian market by August 2016. Aprilia SR 150 is Piaggio’s latest offering to India. With this addition, Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited – the Piaggio Group’s wholly owned Indian subsidiary again pioneers a new category in India’s premium two- wheeler market.

Alongside the new Aprilia SR 150, the Piaggio Group also exhibited the most representative vehicles from Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Vespa brands.
