Aprilia to offer the SR 150 in two more variants

Piaggio, the Italian two-wheeler manufacturer, recently launched the Aprilia SR 150 in India. Showcased for the first time at the 2016 Auto Expo, the scooter had customers quite excited about its arrival. We took the SR 150 for a short spin and were quite impressed by its performance. It seems that the Italian manufacturer has more plans for the SR 150 since, according to sources, two more variants of the SR 150 are being planned for 2017. Both variants will be priced higher than the current SR 150.

While details about these new variants are still sketchy, we have been told that they are expected to produce more power than the current variant. However, the underpinnings are expected to remain the same. Aside from the hike in the power, these new variants will also come with anti-lock brakes (ABS) to adhere to the new regulations that will be imposed in 2017. The new SR 150 variants will also come with Auto Headlamp On (AHO) feature.

Meanwhile, Aprilia has kicked off production and rolled off the first SR 150 from its Baramati plant. Currently, 90 per cent of the scooter is being produced locally and Aprilia intends to increase the localisation of the scooter up to 95 per cent. Aprilia also plans on exporting the India-made SR 150.
