2021 Aprilia SR 160 Race Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Aprilia for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2021 Aprilia SR 160 Race utilizes a 160 cc (9.8 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.8 HP (7.9 kW) at 7,100 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.6 Nm (8.6 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 67.5 HP per liter and a 1,100 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,100 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the SR 160 Race measures 122 kg (269 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,365 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 90 km/h (56 mph).
