Raul Fernandez Leads All-Aprilia Podium Sweep as MotoGP Returns to Silverstone
Aug 11, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- The 5-inch TFT display brings Bluetooth call and music control, turn-by-turn navigation and extra handlebar controls, which is a lot of technology for this price.
- The 174.7 cc air-cooled single makes 13.3 PS and 14.14 Nm, about 4 Nm more than the SXR GT 125, which matters on faster roads and with a pillion.
- Single-channel ABS on a 220 mm front disc is standard, a real safety step up from the 125's combined braking.
- Maxi-scooter styling with a big windscreen, a Tripod LED headlamp, 14-inch wheels and footboard graphics that are exclusive to the 175.
- Three colours that stand apart from the 125's palette: Metallic Blue, Matte Black and Matte Green.
Worth knowing
- It asks Rs 20,000 more than the SXR GT 125 for the bigger engine, the TFT and ABS.
- Braking is still a 140 mm rear drum with only single-channel ABS, so there is no dual-channel safety net.
- Aprilia has not yet published the weight, dimensions, seat height or fuel tank size, so key practicality figures are missing.
- Indian launch coverage describes these as special launch prices, so expect the price to change.
- No claimed mileage has been published yet.
