  • Most pathetic scooter, worst build quality

    Divyesh Gandhi

    I have had this scooter now for more than 3 years and after driving it for more than 25000+ km writing this.
    Power is not as per 160cc engine, build quality is not up to the mark as we had paid this much of money.
    Service reach is not better and the cost is high, also if there is any issue you have no option then to contact SC, due to its very complex design and making. Even in case you need to change the rear tyre you must go to SC to remove it due to the mechanism to open the wheel. Parts availability is also an issue. Even a few issues are there which have not been solved to date.
    I am deeply regretting my decision to buy this.
    Only the company name is good nothing else.

  • Supercool Maxi Scooter - SXR 160

    1 year ago


    Shivashankar S

    Reading many reviews and looking at major auto website reviewers' opinions, and comparisons with Aerox; it was all very confusing to pick a maxi scooter. After a lot of thought, I decided to go with test-riding every possible scooter in the market.
    After many test rides including the Aerox, I decided to go with the Aprilia SXR 160.
    Before I got to the details of SXR 160, I saw a lot of videos that said Aerox was a much better choice. I do not know about the rider's choice about Aerox there but it was not as convenient as suggested. Using the backseat is a pain, it is like climbing a hill. The lack of Footboard space that too for tall individuals like me (6'1) is very inconvenient and cramped where you cannot move your foot. The ride I took for a few kilometers, I realized that it was never that comfortable to ride. The breaks were not as sharp. The front crash guard storage too is not something great with not-so-good plastics. Styling is not as good as SXR 160 with improper indicator placements and not all LED lightings.
    On the other hand, the Aprilia SXR 160, may not have hit the top speeds of the Aerox; but it is not practical for both bikes to ride over 80 or 90 km from a road safety standpoint and keeping ride fatigue in mind. Having said this, if you are looking for a ride speed less than 90 kmph you have a winner in the Aprilia SXR 160.
    The Aprilia SXR 160 has a great ride Quality. It hits a 60 kmph within around 8 seconds and to the top speed it takes close to 15 to 20 seconds there on. Unless you are on a clear path or highway, reaching the top speed might be not practical for any scooter I guess.
    The maneuvering of this bike is a piece of cake. Though the SXR 160 is big and looks bulky, the cornering and turns in city riding or top-speed road curves are simply a breeze. The handle is very smooth and never feels bulky or inconvenient to handle. The ride feels very confident with excellent road grip. I loved overtaking in traffic and zipping through in traffic which was quick and the engine was like I hear you let's speed away.
    The brakes are amazingly sharp. When applying both front and back breaks, it stops almost instantly. I realized that the back brake was mostly enough to stop this bike. Gives you so much confidence to ride in cities or highways.
    The front telescopic shocks are smooth and even the back shocks along with a rider were very comfortable with minimal jerks.
    The 2023 model's sound of this scooter is less noisy (compared to the 2022 ones). But at high speeds, it simply sounds like a regular motorbike with the grunt. There is a carbon finish on the handlebar covers including the side panels. The plastic finish is much better compared to 2022 or prior models. It also comes with OBD2 diagnostics.
    With the color option we had, I chose the red one which was eye-catching and the presence it created was great.
    Seating is pretty much comfortable and I suggest going for after-market gel seating or cushions for a long ride. The pillion seats are good and with a big grab handle, it feels safe to hold on bumpy roads.
    The mileage of this bike for the engine size is still good. I could get a city mileage of around 38 to 40 kmpl as compared to around 42 to 45 kmpl on highways at good speeds.
    The overall styling of the SXR 160 is very smooth and looks like a monocoque body from front to back. The headlight panel along with a very nice looking DRL and indicators. Also, the back brake light and indicators are all so smoothly put together. The all-LED lighting makes for excellent visibility.
    The things it lacks:
    No side steps for ladies where they could sit one-sided which would have also helped them climb onto the back seats.
    Bluetooth connectivity where a cluster has no map integration. However, given the positioning of the cluster of any bike, I did not feel the need for it.
    App connectivity could have been a good option to see vehicle performance.
    Finally coming to the buying experience, I had an option of buying a 2021 manufactured vehicle or a 2023 manufactured one. The 2021 was 30k to 35k cheaper given the manufacturing date. I initially made a decision to buy a 2021 model SXR 160 as it was a great bargain. My fault was that I booked it on Sunday and took delivery on Monday all cash. The vehicle was not so great looking as it had blemishes and the front shocks were not great too and looked like it was pretty much ridden, but given it was an auspicious day, I picked it up as my family was alone and did not want to make them feel bad and took the scooter home. Guess the dealership did not have enough time to test, check, and deliver the vehicle given the short timeline. The thought of buying a new vehicle with such shortcomings was eating me away the whole day I called the dealership the same night and they immediately agreed to replace the vehicle with a 2023 model without any questions asked. So came home, the 2023 manufactured Aprilia SXR 160.
    The Aprilia buying experience with Pinnacle Initiatives in Bangalore was pretty good with excellent customer centricity and service. Uday the owner of the dealership was very cooperative and made all required arrangements and David the salesperson provided prompt service by delivering the brand new 2023 vehicle at home and picking the older previous model. They also gave me a 2nd year free AMC for the bike for the ordeal I had gone through.
    Overall the Aprilia SXR 160 is a great purchase for people looking for a comfortable ride with great looks.

    Tips for other riders

    To maintain the bike exteriors, it is best to get a ceramic coating which is hydrophobic. This will ensure the outside is protected from paint fade, dust, water & bird dropping residues and also gives a great shine. Follow regular maintenance as per service manual. I recommend an oil once every 4k to 5k kilometers or six months once with 10w40 fully synthetic oil. I got extended AMC for year 2 which saves regular service costs. Ensure the air filters are changed regularly to ensure optimum performance and fuel efficiency.

    Ashok

    1. After-sales should be your primary factor when choosing a motor vehicle. I made this mistake. You please do not. Even here in Pune, after-sales is very poor. Also, service cost is quite high, and needs every 3 months. It's a bad situation.
    2. This scooter is heavy at,129kg. This is a good thing on the highway. Cruising at 80 feels planted. But in the city its a headache. Don't try to drive it like activa in traffic. You will regret it. Trust me.
    3. It's very costly now. I bought it at 1.26 lac ex-showroom. Now it's 1.46lac. Better options are available.
    4. Suspension is bouncy and does not inspire confidence at higher speeds.
    5. Fuel efficiency is not good considering the poor performance it still gives 30 on light throttle.

  • Aprilia 160 - After 6 months

    1 year ago


    Aadarsh Shetty

    I bought this bike from EESH Motors Mangalore and the experience was great we did'nt have to wait much and also asked me to try the SR too. In terms of riding experience it's really nice where I live, as it's tarmac every where. If there is an occasional pothole it does take it well. I had many instances where I had to break hard and it did that with ease. I took this to the hills and also cornering was easy. You feel lazy in traffic, I have a Honda Dio which I feel I get cheaky with and just make it out of traffic really quick. With this I don't even feel like doing any of those. Looks are a head turner alway and I am really waiting for the GT200 and from my showroom visits I know alot of other customers are waiting too. We have an access 125, Dio both 2013 models at home my wife also loves riding especially how reassuring this is. I dint think she would like this at all. But some where I feel this should be a 200cc engine with liquid cooling as this where all the cons start. This bike does 100 kmph + on the odo but I don't think it's comfortable there its happy at 75 -80 for longer journeys . I had a phase when I rode between 4000 to 5000 rpm I got 45 - 50 kmph. The instrumentation is amazing nothing is missed out. Servicing is on the higher side and it is expected like the vespas of the world. I had a day when I covered 360 kms on a hot sunny day it dint heat up too much. The biggest pro is desirability, performance being a scooter. It's good with mileage if you are careful enough yet this is great for those trips to places close to your town or city. But once you ride this you will not feel like riding any other scooter that you have at home. Biggest biggest con is the boot becomes quite hot you can't keep electronics like camera etc in there. Also if you bring take aways home they remain very hot 🔥. But it's a bummer 😕 to be honest. Is why a 200 cc with liquid cooling GT 200 from Aprilia if launches will go for it.

    Sayantan Das

    What to say about this scooter? From the very first week started facing this. Even after complaining, I had to face the wrath of the dealer. My issue was sorted only after complaining to customer service and Twitter. Will never ever buy again or suggest anyone to buy anything from this company.

  • Driving Feels like a car .. once you drive you get a smile on your face.

    2 years ago


    Krishna Sumanth

    A superb ride just feels like a bike. Easy to drive on small narrow streets at high speed. At bumps and pot wholes you never feel it. Just awesome. Once you drive you can't leave it. Extremely comfortable and good seating position. Before this, I use honda activa and Jupiter which feel body pains. But this one is a solid ride and has no pain.

  • Aprilia 160 - After 6 months

    1 year ago


    Aadarsh Shetty

    I bought this bike from EESH Motors Mangalore and the experience was great we did'nt have to wait much and also asked me to try the SR too. In terms of riding experience it's really nice where I live, as it's tarmac every where. If there is an occasional pothole it does take it well. I had many instances where I had to break hard and it did that with ease. I took this to the hills and also cornering was easy. You feel lazy in traffic, I have a Honda Dio which I feel I get cheaky with and just make it out of traffic really quick. With this I don't even feel like doing any of those. Looks are a head turner alway and I am really waiting for the GT200 and from my showroom visits I know alot of other customers are waiting too. We have an access 125, Dio both 2013 models at home my wife also loves riding especially how reassuring this is. I dint think she would like this at all. But some where I feel this should be a 200cc engine with liquid cooling as this where all the cons start. This bike does 100 kmph + on the odo but I don't think it's comfortable there its happy at 75 -80 for longer journeys . I had a phase when I rode between 4000 to 5000 rpm I got 45 - 50 kmph. The instrumentation is amazing nothing is missed out. Servicing is on the higher side and it is expected like the vespas of the world. I had a day when I covered 360 kms on a hot sunny day it dint heat up too much. The biggest pro is desirability, performance being a scooter. It's good with mileage if you are careful enough yet this is great for those trips to places close to your town or city. But once you ride this you will not feel like riding any other scooter that you have at home. Biggest biggest con is the boot becomes quite hot you can't keep electronics like camera etc in there. Also if you bring take aways home they remain very hot 🔥. But it's a bummer 😕 to be honest. Is why a 200 cc with liquid cooling GT 200 from Aprilia if launches will go for it.

    What to say about this scooter? From the very first week started facing this. Even after complaining, I had to face the wrath of the dealer. My issue was sorted only after complaining to customer service and Twitter. Will never ever buy again or suggest anyone to buy anything from this company.

  • Driving Feels like a car .. once you drive you get a smile on your face.

    Krishna Sumanth

    A superb ride just feels like a bike. Easy to drive on small narrow streets at high speed. At bumps and pot wholes you never feel it. Just awesome. Once you drive you can't leave it. Extremely comfortable and good seating position. Before this, I use honda activa and Jupiter which feel body pains. But this one is a solid ride and has no pain.

  • Most pathetic scooter, worst build quality

    22 weeks ago


    Divyesh Gandhi

    I have had this scooter now for more than 3 years and after driving it for more than 25000+ km writing this.
    Power is not as per 160cc engine, build quality is not up to the mark as we had paid this much of money.
    Service reach is not better and the cost is high, also if there is any issue you have no option then to contact SC, due to its very complex design and making. Even in case you need to change the rear tyre you must go to SC to remove it due to the mechanism to open the wheel. Parts availability is also an issue. Even a few issues are there which have not been solved to date.
    I am deeply regretting my decision to buy this.
    Only the company name is good nothing else.

  • Supercool Maxi Scooter - SXR 160

    1 year ago


    Shivashankar S

    Reading many reviews and looking at major auto website reviewers' opinions, and comparisons with Aerox; it was all very confusing to pick a maxi scooter. After a lot of thought, I decided to go with test-riding every possible scooter in the market.
    After many test rides including the Aerox, I decided to go with the Aprilia SXR 160.
    Before I got to the details of SXR 160, I saw a lot of videos that said Aerox was a much better choice. I do not know about the rider's choice about Aerox there but it was not as convenient as suggested. Using the backseat is a pain, it is like climbing a hill. The lack of Footboard space that too for tall individuals like me (6'1) is very inconvenient and cramped where you cannot move your foot. The ride I took for a few kilometers, I realized that it was never that comfortable to ride. The breaks were not as sharp. The front crash guard storage too is not something great with not-so-good plastics. Styling is not as good as SXR 160 with improper indicator placements and not all LED lightings.
    On the other hand, the Aprilia SXR 160, may not have hit the top speeds of the Aerox; but it is not practical for both bikes to ride over 80 or 90 km from a road safety standpoint and keeping ride fatigue in mind. Having said this, if you are looking for a ride speed less than 90 kmph you have a winner in the Aprilia SXR 160.
    The Aprilia SXR 160 has a great ride Quality. It hits a 60 kmph within around 8 seconds and to the top speed it takes close to 15 to 20 seconds there on. Unless you are on a clear path or highway, reaching the top speed might be not practical for any scooter I guess.
    The maneuvering of this bike is a piece of cake. Though the SXR 160 is big and looks bulky, the cornering and turns in city riding or top-speed road curves are simply a breeze. The handle is very smooth and never feels bulky or inconvenient to handle. The ride feels very confident with excellent road grip. I loved overtaking in traffic and zipping through in traffic which was quick and the engine was like I hear you let's speed away.
    The brakes are amazingly sharp. When applying both front and back breaks, it stops almost instantly. I realized that the back brake was mostly enough to stop this bike. Gives you so much confidence to ride in cities or highways.
    The front telescopic shocks are smooth and even the back shocks along with a rider were very comfortable with minimal jerks.
    The 2023 model's sound of this scooter is less noisy (compared to the 2022 ones). But at high speeds, it simply sounds like a regular motorbike with the grunt. There is a carbon finish on the handlebar covers including the side panels. The plastic finish is much better compared to 2022 or prior models. It also comes with OBD2 diagnostics.
    With the color option we had, I chose the red one which was eye-catching and the presence it created was great.
    Seating is pretty much comfortable and I suggest going for after-market gel seating or cushions for a long ride. The pillion seats are good and with a big grab handle, it feels safe to hold on bumpy roads.
    The mileage of this bike for the engine size is still good. I could get a city mileage of around 38 to 40 kmpl as compared to around 42 to 45 kmpl on highways at good speeds.
    The overall styling of the SXR 160 is very smooth and looks like a monocoque body from front to back. The headlight panel along with a very nice looking DRL and indicators. Also, the back brake light and indicators are all so smoothly put together. The all-LED lighting makes for excellent visibility.
    The things it lacks:
    No side steps for ladies where they could sit one-sided which would have also helped them climb onto the back seats.
    Bluetooth connectivity where a cluster has no map integration. However, given the positioning of the cluster of any bike, I did not feel the need for it.
    App connectivity could have been a good option to see vehicle performance.
    Finally coming to the buying experience, I had an option of buying a 2021 manufactured vehicle or a 2023 manufactured one. The 2021 was 30k to 35k cheaper given the manufacturing date. I initially made a decision to buy a 2021 model SXR 160 as it was a great bargain. My fault was that I booked it on Sunday and took delivery on Monday all cash. The vehicle was not so great looking as it had blemishes and the front shocks were not great too and looked like it was pretty much ridden, but given it was an auspicious day, I picked it up as my family was alone and did not want to make them feel bad and took the scooter home. Guess the dealership did not have enough time to test, check, and deliver the vehicle given the short timeline. The thought of buying a new vehicle with such shortcomings was eating me away the whole day I called the dealership the same night and they immediately agreed to replace the vehicle with a 2023 model without any questions asked. So came home, the 2023 manufactured Aprilia SXR 160.
    The Aprilia buying experience with Pinnacle Initiatives in Bangalore was pretty good with excellent customer centricity and service. Uday the owner of the dealership was very cooperative and made all required arrangements and David the salesperson provided prompt service by delivering the brand new 2023 vehicle at home and picking the older previous model. They also gave me a 2nd year free AMC for the bike for the ordeal I had gone through.
    Overall the Aprilia SXR 160 is a great purchase for people looking for a comfortable ride with great looks.

    To maintain the bike exteriors, it is best to get a ceramic coating which is hydrophobic. This will ensure the outside is protected from paint fade, dust, water & bird dropping residues and also gives a great shine. Follow regular maintenance as per service manual. I recommend an oil once every 4k to 5k kilometers or six months once with 10w40 fully synthetic oil. I got extended AMC for year 2 which saves regular service costs. Ensure the air filters are changed regularly to ensure optimum performance and fuel efficiency.

  • Better options are available

    1 year ago


    Ashok

    1. After-sales should be your primary factor when choosing a motor vehicle. I made this mistake. You please do not. Even here in Pune, after-sales is very poor. Also, service cost is quite high, and needs every 3 months. It's a bad situation.
    2. This scooter is heavy at,129kg. This is a good thing on the highway. Cruising at 80 feels planted. But in the city its a headache. Don't try to drive it like activa in traffic. You will regret it. Trust me.
    3. It's very costly now. I bought it at 1.26 lac ex-showroom. Now it's 1.46lac. Better options are available.
    4. Suspension is bouncy and does not inspire confidence at higher speeds.
    5. Fuel efficiency is not good considering the poor performance it still gives 30 on light throttle.

There is a carbon finish on the handlebar covers including the side panels. The plastic finish is much better compared to 2022 or prior models. It also comes with OBD2 diagnostics.
    With the color option we had, I chose the red one which was eye-catching and the presence it created was great.
    Seating is pretty much comfortable and I suggest going for after-market gel seating or cushions for a long ride. The pillion seats are good and with a big grab handle, it feels safe to hold on bumpy roads.
    The mileage of this bike for the engine size is still good. I could get a city mileage of around 38 to 40 kmpl as compared to around 42 to 45 kmpl on highways at good speeds.
    The overall styling of the SXR 160 is very smooth and looks like a monocoque body from front to back. The headlight panel along with a very nice looking DRL and indicators. Also, the back brake light and indicators are all so smoothly put together. The all-LED lighting makes for excellent visibility.
    The things it lacks:
    No side steps for ladies where they could sit one-sided which would have also helped them climb onto the back seats.
    Bluetooth connectivity where a cluster has no map integration. However, given the positioning of the cluster of any bike, I did not feel the need for it.
    App connectivity could have been a good option to see vehicle performance.
    Finally coming to the buying experience, I had an option of buying a 2021 manufactured vehicle or a 2023 manufactured one. The 2021 was 30k to 35k cheaper given the manufacturing date. I initially made a decision to buy a 2021 model SXR 160 as it was a great bargain. My fault was that I booked it on Sunday and took delivery on Monday all cash. The vehicle was not so great looking as it had blemishes and the front shocks were not great too and looked like it was pretty much ridden, but given it was an auspicious day, I picked it up as my family was alone and did not want to make them feel bad and took the scooter home. Guess the dealership did not have enough time to test, check, and deliver the vehicle given the short timeline. The thought of buying a new vehicle with such shortcomings was eating me away the whole day I called the dealership the same night and they immediately agreed to replace the vehicle with a 2023 model without any questions asked. So came home, the 2023 manufactured Aprilia SXR 160.
    The Aprilia buying experience with Pinnacle Initiatives in Bangalore was pretty good with excellent customer centricity and service. Uday the owner of the dealership was very cooperative and made all required arrangements and David the salesperson provided prompt service by delivering the brand new 2023 vehicle at home and picking the older previous model. They also gave me a 2nd year free AMC for the bike for the ordeal I had gone through.
    Overall the Aprilia SXR 160 is a great purchase for people looking for a comfortable ride with great looks.

    To maintain the bike exteriors, it is best to get a ceramic coating which is hydrophobic. This will ensure the outside is protected from paint fade, dust, water & bird dropping residues and also gives a great shine. Follow regular maintenance as per service manual. I recommend an oil once every 4k to 5k kilometers or six months once with 10w40 fully synthetic oil. I got extended AMC for year 2 which saves regular service costs. Ensure the air filters are changed regularly to ensure optimum performance and fuel efficiency.

    1. After-sales should be your primary factor when choosing a motor vehicle. I made this mistake. You please do not. Even here in Pune, after-sales is very poor. Also, service cost is quite high, and needs every 3 months. It's a bad situation.
    2. This scooter is heavy at,129kg. This is a good thing on the highway. Cruising at 80 feels planted. But in the city its a headache. Don't try to drive it like activa in traffic. You will regret it. Trust me.
    3. It's very costly now. I bought it at 1.26 lac ex-showroom. Now it's 1.46lac. Better options are available.
    4. Suspension is bouncy and does not inspire confidence at higher speeds.
    5. Fuel efficiency is not good considering the poor performance it still gives 30 on light throttle.

  • Aprilia 160 - After 6 months

    1 year ago


    Aadarsh Shetty

    I bought this bike from EESH Motors Mangalore and the experience was great we did'nt have to wait much and also asked me to try the SR too. In terms of riding experience it's really nice where I live, as it's tarmac every where. If there is an occasional pothole it does take it well. I had many instances where I had to break hard and it did that with ease. I took this to the hills and also cornering was easy. You feel lazy in traffic, I have a Honda Dio which I feel I get cheaky with and just make it out of traffic really quick. With this I don't even feel like doing any of those. Looks are a head turner alway and I am really waiting for the GT200 and from my showroom visits I know alot of other customers are waiting too. We have an access 125, Dio both 2013 models at home my wife also loves riding especially how reassuring this is. I dint think she would like this at all. But some where I feel this should be a 200cc engine with liquid cooling as this where all the cons start. This bike does 100 kmph + on the odo but I don't think it's comfortable there its happy at 75 -80 for longer journeys . I had a phase when I rode between 4000 to 5000 rpm I got 45 - 50 kmph. The instrumentation is amazing nothing is missed out. Servicing is on the higher side and it is expected like the vespas of the world. I had a day when I covered 360 kms on a hot sunny day it dint heat up too much. The biggest pro is desirability, performance being a scooter. It's good with mileage if you are careful enough yet this is great for those trips to places close to your town or city. But once you ride this you will not feel like riding any other scooter that you have at home. Biggest biggest con is the boot becomes quite hot you can't keep electronics like camera etc in there. Also if you bring take aways home they remain very hot 🔥. But it's a bummer 😕 to be honest. Is why a 200 cc with liquid cooling GT 200 from Aprilia if launches will go for it.

    What to say about this scooter? From the very first week started facing this. Even after complaining, I had to face the wrath of the dealer. My issue was sorted only after complaining to customer service and Twitter. Will never ever buy again or suggest anyone to buy anything from this company.

  • Driving Feels like a car .. once you drive you get a smile on your face.

    A superb ride just feels like a bike. Easy to drive on small narrow streets at high speed. At bumps and pot wholes you never feel it. Just awesome. Once you drive you can't leave it. Extremely comfortable and good seating position. Before this, I use honda activa and Jupiter which feel body pains. But this one is a solid ride and has no pain.
