Aprilia RS 150 Features

Based on the Tuono 150, the new Aprilia RS 150 is powered by 18bhp, 150cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with fuel injection

The sporty Aprilia RS 150 fully-faired motorcycle has been unveiled at the 2018 Delhi Auto Expo. Besides RS 150, the company has introduced a semi-faired Tuono 150cc motorcycle and Strom 125cc scooter at the event. Additionally, the company has launched the Aprilia SR 125 scooter at Rs 63,310 in the country. The Aprilia RS 150 is basically the scaled down versions of Aprilia’s superbikes.

If launched, the Aprilia RS 150 will have a direct competition in the form of new generation Yamaha R15 V3.0. The company is expected to produce this motorcycle in India, which will help to achieve aggressive pricing. Instead of single seat unit in the Tuono 150, the new RS 150 comes with a split seat and offers aggressive riding position. The rider seat seems comfortable, but the rear seat won’t offer a lot of comfort. It is powered by a 150cc, liquid-cooled, fuel injected engine, which is paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
