Aprilia SR 160 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 38 scooters we have reviewed.
The figures below are the manufacturer's. To make them mean something, each is read against the 38 scooters we have reviewed: the class average is the number to beat, and the rank shows how far the SR 160 is from the ends of the field.
The 160 cc engine is 27 cc above the class average of 133 cc, 3rd of 38. Peak power of 11.1 bhp is 1 bhp above the class average of 10.1 bhp, 10th of 38. Torque of 13.4 Nm is 2.3 Nm above the class average of 11.2 Nm, 7th of 38. High torque for the class means fewer downshifts in traffic.
Kerb weight is 118 kg, 4 kg above the class average of 114 kg, 29th of 36. Seat height is 780 mm, right on the class average of 774 mm. Most riders from about 5'2" will get both feet flat. Ground clearance is 169 mm, 12 mm above the class average of 157 mm, 2nd of 30.
Fuel tank is 6 litres, right on the class average of 5.9 litres. At a realistic 35 kmpl that is roughly 207 km between fills. Wheelbase is 1365 mm, 70 mm above the class average of 1295 mm, 2nd of 36. A longer wheelbase trades some agility for stability at speed and with a pillion.

Dimensions in practice
The SR 160 weighs 118 kg with fluids, has an 780 mm seat, 169 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1365 mm wheelbase. Clearance is average for the class.
The fuel tank holds 6 litres, good for about 207 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 120/70-14 front and 120/70-14 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Equipment against SR 175, SR 125 and Storm 125
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
