While there hasn’t been any official announcement made yet regarding the launch of the new Aprilia SXR 125 in the Indian market, the younger sibling of the Aprilia SXR 160 has started to arrive at dealerships. Here’s a walkaround video in which the new TVS NTorq 125 rival is shown up-close.
The Aprilia SXR 125 has four colour options - red, blue, black, and white. In this walkaround video, we have the 125cc maxi-scooter in its black paint scheme. We can see in the footage that this colour has a matte finish, however, it also features some glossy parts such as the long black windscreen and grey exhaust heat shield.
