Aprilia SXR GT 125, 175 Unveiled Ahead of India Launch; Bookings Open

Aprilia has unveiled the new SXR GT 125 and SXR GT 175 in India ahead of their market launch. The updated scooters get larger 14-inch wheels, revised engines, updated graphics and new colour options. The SXR GT 175 also gets a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. Bookings for both scooters are now open at authorised Aprilia dealerships across India. The company has not announced their prices yet, with the official launch expected later this month.

The SXR GT range continues with Aprilia's signature Tripod LED headlamp, while the bodywork gets revised graphics and colour schemes. The biggest hardware change is the introduction of 14-inch wheels on both scooters. The previous SXR models used 12-inch wheels. The larger wheels are aimed at improving stability and ride quality, particularly over uneven road surfaces and during longer rides.

The SXR GT 125 will be available in Matte Black, Glossy Azzurro and Glossy White. The SXR GT 175 gets Metallic Blue, Matte Black and Matte Green paint options. The 175cc version also gets additional footboard graphics inspired by Aprilia's GT range.
