Scooter specifications Aprilia SXR 125 2027

Aprilia is expanding its urban lineup with the launch of the SXR 125. Already available in a 50-cc version on the European market, this model is now being introduced in an 1/8-liter version. It aims to combine the agility of a city bike with features typically reserved for Grand Touring scooters, while maintaining a competitive price point.

Technology that exceeds category standards

One of the SXR 125’s main selling points is its standard equipment. The model stands out in particular for its 5-inch color TFT display, a rare feature in the small urban scooter segment. This digital instrument panel allows you to manage calls, music, and navigation via icons—provided, of course, that you opt for the optional “Aprilia MIA” Bluetooth connectivity module. The scooter also features full-LED headlights and 14-inch wheels. New handlebar controls make it easier to navigate the instrument cluster menus.

Engine and Chassis Tailored for City Riding

Under the hood, the SXR 125 is powered by an air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine. Delivering 10.6 ch at 7,400 rpm, this engine is designed above all to be practical. It’s designed for the frequent acceleration required by city traffic, while promising fuel efficiency.

The chassis features a simple cradle frame made of steel tubing and stamped steel components. Stability is ensured by 14-inch rims fitted with 120/70 tires. Braking is handled by the CBS combined braking system, which pairs a 220-mm front disc (with a dual-piston caliper) with a 140-mm rear drum brake. This technical configuration is very standard for an entry-level or mid-range 125 cm3 model; the lack of ABS may be noted by riders who are most demanding when it comes to safety.

Ergonomics and Practical Features

The design incorporates the brand’s aesthetic cues, notably the signature three-lamp front lighting cluster inspired by Noale’s sport bikes, which integrates the daytime running lights and turn signals.

The ergonomics are designed for everyday use: raised handlebars for an upright riding position, a protective windshield, and a flat floorboard. This last feature is an undeniable practical advantage for carrying a bag, which can be secured using a hook mounted on the front fairing. The seat, which is 850 mm long and rises to 804 mm, is designed to be accessible and aims to make maneuvering while stopped easier, especially for beginners.

The under-seat storage compartment (equipped with a courtesy light) has a capacity of 20 liters. While this is sufficient to hold an open-face helmet, the space is limited for the GT category and won’t accommodate a full-face helmet. A storage compartment, featuring a USB port for charging mobile devices, as well as a luggage rack equipped with grab handles for the passenger, round out the standard equipment.

Variants

The SXR 125 will be available in three glossy colors: White (Glossy White), Silver (Glossy Silver), and Black (Glossy Black). An “S” variant, with a more sporty look, will also be available in Red (Glossy Red), accented with black plastic trim and black wheels.
