Aprilia says the new hp-e engines have been developed with better acceleration and response in mind. The engines are also shared with Aprilia’s SR scooter family, with changes made for the SXR GT range.
14-inch Wheels
One of the more noticeable mechanical changes is the use of 14-inch alloy wheels. The earlier SXR 125 and SXR 160 used 12-inch wheels.
The bigger wheels give the scooters a different stance and are expected to help with stability on uneven roads.
The suspension setup includes:
- Telescopic front fork

- Five-position rear suspension adjustment
- 14-inch alloy wheels
- Road-oriented tyres
Aprilia has also retained the 220mm front disc and 140mm rear drum setup. The SXR GT 175 gets single-channel ABS, while the 125 uses CBS.

Aprilia also lists accessories such as a manually adjustable windshield and crash guard for customers planning longer rides.
Design And Colours
Both scooters retain the familiar shape, with a large front fairing, tall windscreen and three-part LED headlamp arrangement. The bodywork has a broad maxi-scooter profile, while the updated graphics add some visual changes.
