Home / New Bike Prices / Aprilia / SXR 160
The Aprilia SXR 160 sits at the very premium end of petrol scooters in Nepal, aimed squarely at car buyers who want a stylish, comfortable and safe two-wheeler without feeling like they have compromised on image. With its maxi-scooter body, refined 160cc BS6 engine and pricing that overlaps with small cars, it speaks to buyers who care more about design, technology and brand than bare-minimum commuting.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 18 Jul 2026.
For a car owner used to sharper design, the Aprilia SXR 160 feels reassuringly upmarket. It is a proper maxi-scooter with a long, low stance, sculpted bodywork and strong Italian styling cues that stand out in Kathmandu traffic. The top Aprilia SXR 160 variant sold in Nepal gets Aprilia signature graphics with matte black inserts, dark chrome detailing, twin crystal LED headlights with DRLs, LED tail-lamp with integrated indicators, honeycomb-style front grilles and an integrated dark fly-screen. It has a clear "mini-crossover" presence when you park it next to regular scooters. It rides on 12-inch alloy wheels with wide tubeless tyres, and the oversize saddle and flat footboard echo the cabin-like feel of a compact car. This makes it attractive to buyers moving up from small hatchbacks as much as from basic scooters. Colour options internationally include white, red, blue and black, and the Nepal model follows the same palette. So picking an SXR 160 feels closer to speccing a car trim and shade than simply buying a basic commuter.
Under the bodywork, the Aprilia SXR 160 uses a BS6-compliant, fuel‑injected single‑cylinder 160cc petrol engine shared with the SR 160, tuned for responsive but smooth delivery through a CVT automatic gearbox. Output figures in the Nepal-spec mirror the Indian model, with power of around 11 PS and torque a little over 12 Nm, which is higher than most 125cc rivals and gives strong mid-range pull for city gaps and short highway runs such as Kathmandu–Banepa or Pokhara ring-road use. Real-world reports from Nepali and Indian reviewers point to mileage in the roughly 30–35 km/l band. So its fuel running costs sit closer to a small petrol car than to a bare‑bones 110cc scooter. Performance and refinement are much better, though. ABS-equipped front disc and rear drum brakes, along with the 12-inch wheels, give the SXR 160 stable high-speed manners and confident emergency braking on mixed Nepali road surfaces, from smooth urban stretches to broken rural tarmac.
