Home / New Bike Prices / Aprilia / SR 160
The Aprilia SR 160 in Nepal is a performance-focused 160 cc scooter that appeals more to car buyers looking for a sporty, agile urban companion than a basic commuter. With sharp Italian styling, a strong fuel‑injected engine and motorcycle‑like dynamics, the top Race variant in particular feels like a hot hatch on two wheels for Kathmandu’s crowded streets.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 18 Jul 2026.
In its latest Nepal‑spec form, the Aprilia SR 160 Race stands out with an aggressive, motorcycle‑inspired stance rather than the soft curves typical of mainstream scooters. It gets a sharply contoured front apron with an integrated headlamp cluster and sporty graphics similar to the Indian SR 160 Race, giving it a distinctive track‑inspired look that turns heads in city traffic. The large 14‑inch alloy wheels and wide tyres visually plant the scooter on the road. The slim tail section and compact LED elements (where equipped) emphasise its athletic character. It feels more like a sporty city bike than a family scooty. Buyers moving from small cars will like that even the Race variant’s bold colour combinations and decals are factory‑fitted. It looks “modified” straight out of the showroom, so you don’t have to spend extra on aftermarket kits.
All current SR 160 variants in Nepal use Aprilia’s 160.03 cc, single‑cylinder, air‑cooled, 3‑valve i‑get BS6 fuel‑injected engine, shared with the Indian SR 160 and tuned for strong mid‑range punch rather than just economy. Output is around 11 PS of power and 13.44 Nm of torque in this configuration, which makes it one of the most powerful scooters in the Nepali market and gives the Race variant especially eager acceleration from standstill and during quick overtakes. Real‑world tests in similar markets report an approximate 0–60 km/h time of about 7 seconds and a top speed near 100 km/h. It feels far more energetic than typical 125 cc scooters when merging into ring road traffic or climbing hilly sections. Fuel efficiency of roughly 35–40 km/l in mixed riding has been observed in BS6 SR 160s. It does drink a bit more petrol than a 110–125 cc commuter, but the performance gap is big enough that enthusiasts are willing to pay the extra running cost.
