Piaggio India has started the deliveries of Aprilia SR150 in Pune, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kerala and Chennai and will move to other parts of the country in the coming days. The scooter is being manufactured at Piaggio’s Baramati, Maharashtra facility.
Stefano Pelle, Managing Director and CEO, Piaggio Vehicles, said, “The commencement of deliveries of the Aprilia SR 150 is a milestone moment for all of us at Piaggio India. This is the first bike from the Aprilia stable that has been designed for the India market and is being manufactured locally. It has managed to create a new category of crossover bikes in India and is receiving a favorable response from the youth of India”
As per company reports,
“The bookings for the Aprilia SR 150 are still going strong across the Piaggio dealerships in India. Piaggio’s tie up with online giant, Paytm has also augmented the sales for the Aprilia SR 150, enabling consumers to book their bikes with a click of a button”
In terms of specifications, the Aprilia SR150 is powered by a 150cc SOHC air-cooled four stroke engine. The large telescopic front forks and 14 inch wheels with 120/70 section tyres on front and rear gives an aggressive stance to the scooter. The instrument console is a rather simple with twin pod analogue unit for speedometer, fuel gauge and odometer. The fuel tank capacity is 7 litres and seat height is 775mm. Braking duties are performed by 220mm disc brake at front and 140mm drum brake at the rear.
Built around Aprilia brand’s philosophy, “Designed For Racers, Built For riders”, perfectly blends the cues of motorbikes and scooters. With this distinctive positioning, the Aprilia SR 150 is set to carve out a new category in the country’s booming two-wheeler market, which has evolved from being need-driven to one dominated by differentiation and aspiration.
