Is the Aprilia SXR GT 175 a proper grand tourer, or just a scooter with big dreams? We take Aprilia’s latest maxi-style scooter for a ride to find out!
Maxi-scooters have an interesting history, both internationally and in India. From the Kinetic Blaze to the Suzuki Burgman Street and Aprilia’s original SXR, combining scooter convenience with touring comfort is hardly new. Now, the Italians are back with the SXR GT 175, bringing bigger 14-inch wheels, updated styling and a more powerful engine.
Powered by a 174.7cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 13bhp and 14Nm, the SXR GT 175 also gets a five-inch TFT display with connectivity, navigation and single-channel ABS.
But does the bigger wheel setup actually improve ride and handling? Is the engine entertaining enough? How comfortable and practical is it? And most importantly, does it deserve that GT badge?
In this first ride review, we explore the design, performance, ride quality, handling, comfort, practicality, features and shortcomings of the Aprilia SXR GT 175.
Aprilia SXR GT 175 price: ₹1.29 lakh (special launch price, ex-showroom Maharashtra).
