Aprilia SX 50 - 2015 Specifications and Reviews
The 2015 Aprilia SX 50 is an entry-level sport motorcycle designed for young riders and beginners seeking an accessible introduction to street biking. Known for its aggressive styling and manageable 830mm seat height, it combines lightweight agility with practical features like a 7-liter fuel tank and reliable disc brakes. The kick-starter and catalytic converter equipped Euro 2 engine make it an affordable, environmentally conscious choice for learners.
About the Aprilia SX 50
Powered by a Euro 2 compliant liquid cooled 49.9cc single cylinder two stroke engine, producing around 6 bhp.
The engine itself only weighs 15kg and by only including a kick starter Aprilia shaved even more off.
The Aprilia RX50 is essentially the same bike but with larger spoked wheels, off-road tyres, a smaller front disc and a 50mm higher seat. Both bikes can be limited for 16 year olds or derestricted to unlock the 50mph top speed.
The wire-spoked 17" wheel takes a 110/80 tyre at the front and 130/70 at the rear.
