2016 Aprilia SR Max 300 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Aprilia SR Max 300 pairs a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 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 79.1 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 15.5-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
