A superb ride just feels like a bike. Easy to drive on small narrow streets at high speed. At bumps and pot wholes you never feel it. Just awesome. Once you drive you can't leave it. Extremely comfortable and good seating position. Before this, I use honda activa and Jupiter which feel body pains. But this one is a solid ride and has no pain.

3Better than a low maintenance bike 1 year ago by Vikas

There are a few problems with its shock absorbers and brakes as they get jammed and are released slowly after a bump in the road. As long as the road is smooth, the scooter is far better than its contemporaries in its class. Further, yes, it is true that the seat is not comfortable for daily commuters who tend to ride it more than 60 km a day. For short journeys on smooth roads, this scooter offers a pleasant experience for the rider. Overall, the scooter is fun to ride, especially for short journeys.

Now almost 1 year is completed and I ride above 20k km. I am using it for my daily work. The riding experience was super. Given mileage of 50.5 kmpl. Servicing cost is slightly higher. But performance-wise super. The riding experience on the highway was excellent. But required to rear tyre change after 18500 km. Another bike will shake.

The average of bike is pathetic it just in between 18-20km/l. The service cost is high. Apart for the brand name and look nothing is good about this scooter. The storage capacity is too small, the front safe is bad n in rain the things kept in locker will get wet. This bike is biggest mistake of my life. No one should buy it.

Honest review after riding 2689 kms on sxr 160.
I bought this beauty in June 2021, the ride quality is awesome (i am 5.7). I already have activa ,so using the sxr only for long rides. The best part is , you will never feel tired after running 200-250kms.
Trips made -
1.Satara to pune
2.Pune - mahabaleshwar - pune
3.Pune-satara-pune
4.Pune- Satara-pachgani-mahabaleshwar -pune
5.Khadakwasla dam, panshet
6.Pune-rajugurnagar- pune
7.City drives occasionally
Average achieved when single occupancy - 43.8 km/l
Average achieved when double occupancy - 40.3 km/l
Before first service average was around 35-36 km/l.
Where ever you take this beauty ..People will notice and start asking about this.
Negative points -
After 1500kms, there is small noise at tail lamp, loose screw but sorted out by taking it to service center.
It seems Aprilia is not working on there fuel indicator sensor, most of the time wrong readings.
Side stand should have been more angular.
Aprilia should introduce , accessories for this maxi-scooter.
Overall loved the sxr 160

1Poor mileage, petrol spills out, not so great pick up 1 year ago by Abhilash Meher
Mileage is very poor. I doubt I hardly get a mileage around 20 km/l.. While filling the petrol, the petrol spills out making it a wastage. Pick up is also not good.. The only good thing is the ABS. It has the best abs in its segment.. It's ABS is better than some bikes....

It has the best abs in its segment.. It's ABS is better than some bikes. Looks good. Handling is ok. Not at all worth buying

Yamaha Aerox 155 vs Aprilia SXR 160: Maxi-Scooter Comparison Test Review

23 December 2021

Pratheek Kunder

India is undoubtedly one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world but it isn’t the same as it was before. The consumers here want much more from a scooter now than one with paltry features that will help them commute from one point to another and carry the least...

Aprilia SXR 160: First Ride Review

21 December 2020

Anuj Mishra

Underpinning the SXR are components borrowed from the SR 160, which is currently the sportiest scooter on sale in India. But Piaggio has executed certain changes to make it friendlier and easier to live with.
