Celebrating the success of the recently launched SR150 in India, Aprilia, which is owned by Piaggio, has announced its second crossover offering for the country – the SR150 RACE. This marks a significant step in Aprilia’s India journey as the SR150 RACE comes to the country within less than six months after the flagship SR150 introduction. The new scooter has been built on the philosophy of the MotoGP’s globally popular RS-GP, and is expected to further stir the youth of the country with a dynamic appeal that goes beyond the racy look of the bike to also offer a faster ride with faster acceleration. The key features of the SR 150 Race include RS-GP inspired body colour and graphics, red alloy wheels and suspension springs tuned for faster acceleration.
The Aprilia SR Race carries the SR 150 attributes like aggressive and sporty style, distinct handlebar, the light unit included in the shield and above all the pronounced “beak” on the front wheel characterizes the front end, large black 14-inch alloy wheels with five spokes show off decisive and sporty design drawn from Aprilia racing bikes. And the raw power of 150cc enhances the liveliness of a vehicle born to make every city ride fun with 220mm front disc and 140mm rear drum brakes. Commenting on the new addition, Mr. Stefano Pelle, Managing Director and CEO – Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited said, “The great response we got when we introduced the SR150 in India last year gave us the confidence that the market is now ripe for change. The youth of India is keen to explore the new and this augurs well for a brand like ours which thrives on building different categories in every market that we operate in. We hope that the SR150 RACE brings our patrons even closer to the racy appeal they long for in their daily rides and changes, yet again, the way India purchases its 2-wheelers.”
