It's a mixed bag. My 2024 model has had the engine and transmission bulletproof, but small annoying issues like loose panels and a faulty side stand sensor. Not major things, but not what you get at this price point.

It has definitely improved with reliability. I have a brother who bought one at launch and had tons of issues. My wife got hers last year and it’s been smooth sailing. It looks like Aprilia has worked out the bugs.

The scooter itself has been reliable for me but Aprilia service is still a pain. It's long waits, inexperienced mechanics and poor communication. The product has actually gotten better, but the experience of owning it still isn’t there.

Mine has 30,000 km on it in two years with no major issues. Regular maintenance is key. A lot of the reported problems, I think, are a result of people not following the service schedule correctly.

It’s better, but not quite as good as Japanese reliability. Nothing major, just a few minor electrical issues here and there, but nothing that left me stranded. Parts availability has improved the most since launch, it’s much better now.

I work as a mechanic on these and they have definitely improved. With newer models, we see far fewer issues. They are still more complex than your average scooter, and so proper maintenance is still a requirement.
Is the Aprilia SXR 160 dated in 2025, and is it still worth buying?

In 2025, I honestly believe the SXR 160 is still a good option. Sure, it’s not the flashiest option out there, but there’s just something timeless about Italian design that doesn’t go out of style. Plus, Aprilia has been nice and good about rolling out small updates to keep it competitive.

No, it is definitely outdated now. With all the new electric options which have popped up, spending that much on a petrol scooter just doesn't make sense anymore. It’s a hard sell when you consider the running costs alone.

But if you’re after a dependable all rounder, I’d say it’s still worth it. For longer rides or places with little to no charging infrastructure, the SXR 160 is still hard to beat, but for city use, electric scooters do work just fine.

I bought one in 2023 and it’s held up well. If I was buying now, I would probably look at newer options. Now, the tech features are starting to feel a little bit dated.

It's a mixed bag. It may not be the most advanced car on the road, but the build quality and ride comfort are still excellent, and it's just becoming more noticeable that it lacks modern connectivity features. If Aprilia doesn't update soon it could find itself falling behind.

It wouldn't surprise me if it’s still relevant, especially for people who aren’t ready to go electric. It’s hard to find a newer model that has the same combination of style and practicality as the SXR 160. Tried and true is sometimes better than cutting edge.

Outdated for sure. When it launched, it performed great, but these days there are cheaper options with similar or better specs. You're better off spending your money on other things in 2025, unless you really like the brand.

It’s out of date in some way, but that’s not always a bad thing. But it’s refreshing to see a SXR 160 that’s simple compared to some of the new scooters that have become overly complicated. Not every one needs or wants a two wheeled smartphone.

It’s still worth considering but perhaps not at full price. It’s still a capable and stylish ride if you can get a good deal on one. It won't be as techy as the latest and greatest, but don't expect it to.

I still consider it relevant as a 2024 buyer. Recent OBD2 update has kept it current with emissions norms and the classic design doesn't make it look outdated. It’s more about personal preference than it is about objective superiority.
How does the Aprilia STX 160 performance compares to its fuel efficiency?

The fuel efficiency for its size has been surprisingly good. Not as frugal as a 125cc, but the extra performance for the little bit extra fuel consumption is worth it.

As for gas guzzlers, the STX 160 is a gas guzzler compared to the smaller scooters. Fuel economy is not your priority.

How you ride it is all. If you're always trying to push the performance, then it'll drink more fuel. However, when ridden sensibly, it’s very efficient.

I believe it's a good compromise. You don’t get the kind of performance you get from a 125cc, without taking a big hit on fuel economy.
