Aprilia India has expanded its scooter lineup with the launch of the SR 125 hp.e, priced at ₹1.2 lakh (ex-showroom). This new model builds upon the legacy of the earlier SR 125 while offering a more refined engine, fresh styling cues, and advanced tech features.
The launch comes after Aprilia introduced the SR 175, and the SR 125 hp.e is positioned as its nimble, city‑friendly sibling. Here’s everything you need to know.
Aprilia SR 125 hp.e Launched in India: Price, Features, and Key Highlights
At the heart of the SR 125 hp.e is a 124.45 cc, air‑cooled, single‑cylinder, SOHC, 3‑valve engine that delivers 10.6 PS of power and 10.4 Nm of torque. The motor meets OBD‑2B emission standards and uses electronic fuel injection for smoother power delivery, reduced emissions, and improved efficiency.
This engine pairs with a CVT transmission tuned for quick throttle response, making it ideal for frequent city stop‑and‑go riding. While official mileage figures are yet to be released, riders can expect around 40 km/l based on current setup and fuel mapping.
Styling Updates and a TFT Dash
While retaining the familiar sporty body design, the SR 125 hp.e introduces fresh color combinations and graphics that give it a modern edge. The options include:
- Monotone Matt Black
- Dual‑tone Glossy Mazda Grey + Matt Black
- Dual‑tone Glossy Red + Matt Black
New graphics on the shoulder panels replace the large “a” decals from the older model. Other elements such as the LED headlamp, carbon‑finish detailing, upswept exhaust, split seats, and X‑shaped LED tail lamp continue to lend a bold look.
The highlight of the update is the 5.5‑inch full‑color TFT instrument cluster, similar to those seen on the RS 457 and Tuono 457. The display allows riders to customize themes, adjust backlighting, and access Bluetooth connectivity for calls, music, and navigation. It also shows detailed ride data, helping riders analyze and refine their riding habits.
Competitive Pricing and Rivals
The SR 125 hp.e is positioned in the premium 125 cc scooter segment. It takes on strong competitors like:
- TVS Ntorq 125 – ₹87,500 (disc variant)
- Hero Xoom 125 – ₹92,900 (disc variant)
- Yamaha RayZR 125 – ₹86,500 (disc variant)
At ₹1.2 lakh, the SR 125 hp.e commands a higher price but offers premium build quality, advanced display tech, and distinctive Italian styling, setting it apart in the segment.
With its refined engine, enhanced safety features, Bluetooth‑enabled TFT display, and bold new livery, the Aprilia SR 125 hp.e is aimed at riders seeking a stylish yet practical urban scooter. Although it comes at a higher price point than most rivals, the added tech and brand appeal make it a strong choice for those who value both performance and design.
