THE sports scooter

The tapered leg shield, dual headlamp, central air intake, aerodynamic tail fairing with a rear headlight and built-in indicator lights all emphasise its affinity with the Aprilia’s sporting history, success and values. The new colours – Racing Black, Fluo Red and Racing White – are aggressive and lively, adding the right touch of style to this unique and sporting scooter. 

Cutting-edge technology

The brilliant 50cc two-stroke Hi-Per2 Pro single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine remains at the top of the category for drive and acceleration and also gains Euro 4 certification thanks to its electronically-operated carburettor - with dedicated control unit - an optimised cylinder diagram and the characteristic inverted "Snakebite" exhaust now with double catalyser and double secondary air system.  

Maximum riding precision

The high tensile steel frame ensures optimum weight distribution, with more load over the front than compared to an average scooter. This results in levels of front wheel feedback that are typical of a motorbike and enhanced chassis performance that delivers more effective and safer riding. The brake system, with two 190mm disc brakes and the 13" wheels with 130/60 low-profile tyres - offer the very best road holding and grip.

Simply unbeatable

The riding position is optimised for total control while comfort is provided by the contoured saddle. The helmet compartment, which can accommodate a full face helmet, is supplemented by yet another compartment with a 1-litre capacity under the lug. The standard equipment for the Aprilia SR 50 R includes a highly advanced active matrix instrument panel.
