Overview

Introducing the 2015 Aprilia SR 50 R Factory, a dynamic scooter that perfectly embodies the spirit of urban mobility with racing pedigree. Designed for those who crave performance and style, this scooter is ideal for both seasoned riders and newcomers looking to navigate the city streets with flair. With a competitive price point of US$ 3,299, the SR 50 R Factory stands out in the scooter segment, offering an exhilarating ride without sacrificing practicality, making it a favorite among scooter enthusiasts. At the heart of the Aprilia SR 50 R Factory lies its powerful 49cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. Producing 5.36 HP at a brisk 8,500 RPM and 4.70 Nm of torque at 8,000 RPM, this engine is designed for spirited acceleration and impressive handling. The liquid-cooled engine, combined with an automatic transmission and a centrifugal dry clutch, ensures a smooth and responsive ride, allowing riders to effortlessly zip through traffic. The lightweight chassis and compact dimensions lend the scooter exceptional maneuverability, making it perfect for urban environments where agility and speed are essential. The SR 50 R Factory is not just about power; it also boasts a suite of advanced features that enhance the riding experience. The scooter is built on a robust split single cradle frame made from high tensile strength steel, ensuring durability without compromising weight. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring a single disc setup both front and rear, equipped with racing calipers that provide reliable stopping power. The suspension system, with a hydraulic fork in the front and an engine unit acting as a swingarm in the rear, offers a comfortable ride even on less-than-smooth surfaces. Plus, with an electric starter and an array of striking color options—white, black, and red—the SR 50 R Factory is as stylish as it is functional. **

Pros

  • Agile Performance: The lightweight design and powerful engine provide excellent acceleration and handling, perfect for urban commuting.
  • Stylish Design: Available in vibrant colors, the SR 50 R Factory stands out with its sporty aesthetic and modern lines.
  • Advanced Braking System: The high-performance braking components ensure confident stopping power, enhancing safety.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Long Distances: As a 50cc scooter, it may struggle on highways or longer commutes where higher speeds are required.
  • Comfort for Taller Riders: The seat height of 820 mm may be less comfortable for taller individuals during extended rides.
  • Two-Stroke Engine Maintenance: The two-stroke engine requires more frequent maintenance compared to four-stroke counterparts, which may not appeal to all riders.
