Aprilia SR 150: At a glance
Inspired by the company's flagship superbike RS-GP, the Aprilia SR 150 Race gets a new paint job in red, white and green. Further, in terms of updates, the scooter now comes with a new windshield, a semi-digital console, adjustable shock absorbers, and red 14-inch alloy wheels. Notably, the alloy wheels on the Aprilia SR 150 facelift and SR 150 Carbon are finished in black.
Under the hood
As mentioned before, the facelifted Aprilia has received no mechanical updates. The scooter is powered by the 154.8 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that we have seen on the 2018 models of Aprilia SR 150. The motor comes paired to a CVT unit and churns out a maximum power of 10.4 bhp and 11.4 Nm of peak torque.
Brakes and suspension
The suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and a hydraulic mono shock absorber at the rear. For braking performance, the scooter gets a single-disc up front and a drum brake unit at the rear. However, the updated Aprilia SR 150 does not come with ABS - a safety feature declared mandatory by the government in new norms applicable from April 2019.
