Technology) system would be the SR 50. In this case, above all others, its was essential that the system be capable of rising to the challenge of the most high-performance of all the engines currently available. This was the ultimate challenge and a further confirmation of the validity of this innovative system – capable of drastically reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while guaranteeing high performance and further improving the regularity of functioning.
The SR 50 is a vehicle that is well-known and highly respected throughout the world and is therefore easily identifiable with the spirit, research, tradition and passion of Aprilia. It is thus ideally suited to definitively launch onto the market this innovative and revolutionary system, highlighting its unique features. From an aesthetic point of view, Aprilia SR DITECH differs from the carburettor version only very slightly. The scooter still keeps its typical sporty look, without the slightest compromise. In short, it still echoes the look of racing bikes in its every aspect and declination.

The engine fairing, the dashboard and the front fairing are all new. Many other important and significant details have also been revamped. All are elements that have been intelligently retouched in order to renovate the look of the scooter, while also bringing substantial functional advantages. The aesthetic improvements have added to the character and personality of the motorcycle, making it more aggressive and distinctive.

technological level. Thanks to years of development, research and constant
evolution, the great motorcycling tradition of this scooter is continuing,
with genuine improvements in the new SR in terms of stability on the straight
and in curves. What is genuinely pleasing is the sensation of total control
over the vehicle that is achieved while taking a curve at speed. Aprilia
SR 50 is now also easier to ride in city traffic, thanks to the greater
precision in the steering and improved manoeuvrability, achieved in part
through better balancing of the masses.
Safety and control are also guaranteed by the high efficiency braking
system, with double disk
brake both front and rear for maximum active safety. The 13” wheels,
with low profile wide cross sections (a special feature of the SR since
its launch) guarantee that the scooter has excellent road grip and total

capacity, being large enough to easily hold a full-face helmet. Another
convenient and highly practical feature of the scooter is the size of

provided by this high-capacity tank is considerable. When combined with
the fact that the scooter has an extremely low fuel consumption, the journeys
possible are extraordinary. The practicality of this feature is demonstrated

words, the entire distance from Venice to Rome.
