The all-new scooter was revealed at Auto Expo 2020 in February and is due to arrive in the third quarter of the year. However, the launch has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Aprilia SXR 160 was built in Italy, with a special focus on the needs of the Indian scooter market. The scooter takes an aggressive stance and the front end stands out particularly well, especially with the LED headlights which are inspired by the RS660. Aprilia says the scooter uses a Crossmax design, which combines the sporty character of a Maxi scooter and provides the practicality of a regular scooter.
