Commenting on the special festive offer, Mr Diego Graffi, CEO and MD Piaggio India said, “Piaggio is delighted to bring the fun and spontaneous offer on Vespa and Aprilia range of scooters. We have seen the aspirational value accorded to our iconic brands and through this unique festive offer, we hope our consumers can celebrate the spirit of choice.”
Aprilia is about to introduce entry-level performance motorcycles in the Indian market, which will most probably be revealed at the upcoming, 2020 Auto Expo. Making an announcement earlier this year, Aprilia had stated that they will introduce four products in the premium 150cc+ segment. The new Aprilia motorcycles will be based upon the products displayed at the Auto Expo 2018 and the first example will be introduced by mid-2020. Among the four products, one or more could come fitted with a motor that displaces more than 150cc.
Earlier, the company had revealed that with their current engines, both, the Aprilia RS 150 and the Tuono 150 lacked in power in comparison to their rivals, which boast of better tech and more horses. This single-cylinder motor made 18 bhp of power and 14 Nm of torque, which is almost at par with its direct competitor, the Yamaha R15 V3. In comparison, the Yamaha 150cc motor makes 19.3 PS of power and 15 Nm of torque. Clearly, Aprilia intends to lead rather than follow and wants to outdo this power figure not just in terms of torque, but horsepower too.
