2021 Aprilia SR 50 MT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2021 Aprilia SR 50 MT utilizes a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2 HP (1.5 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3 Nm (2.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 12.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SR 50 MT measures 106 kg (234 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 797 mm (31.4 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 171 km (106 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).
