Autocar India reports that the Aprilia SR 150 facelift will be launched in the country in mid-2018. While details about the facelift are unknown as of now, the updates could either be visual only or mechanical as well.
It was reported in August last year that the Aprilia SR 150 might get an adjustable front suspension for better handling. If Aprilia brings out the suspension update in its upcoming facelift, it would be the first scooter in India to have the feature.
