The scooter high-end market is in motion, and the just-introduced Aprilia SR GT 400 is taking this new exhilarating trend in high performance scooters. This crossover scooter is unveiled at EICMA 2025 and incorporates both the exhilaration of motorcycle-level engineering and the comfort of daily life and modern technology to push the definition of urban mobility to great extremes. The SR GT 400 is the all-purpose car to the enthusiast who desires the performance and utility.
Easy to Look at, Ridin the Wind.
The intentions of the Aprilia SR GT 400 are made obvious at first sight. It has aggressive lines, a powerful front apron, and a lifted exhaust, which makes it more akin to adventure bikes than runabouts in the city. It features a triple-LED headlamp cluster up front, coupled with USD front forks which are of gold color, a tall adjustable windscreen that slices through wind at faster speeds. The inclusion of such authentic adventure-attire features as handguards, a step-up seat and the smart angles of the body panels and the large fuel tank area devote the crossover theme.
The SR GT 400 was painted in a bold rally-based livery, and fitted with huge wheels, 16-inch front and 14-inch rear, to look like it was ready to commute in the city, highways and even on light off road duties. It rides on 190mm of ground clearance and adventure-tuned suspension, as well as 820mm of seat height, which make it feel like a big-bike but makes it feel planted and commanding at the same time.
Muscle Meets Practicality
The Aprilia SR GT 400 has the heart that is a 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a staggering 35-36 hp and 37-38 Nm of torque. The Euro 5+ emission standards of this CVT-paired powerplant are achieved by having a sophisticated crankcase ventilation system and a light weight piston, which reduce the vibration and make rides even smooth and exhilarating. The scooter has a large 12 liter fuel tank, which offers an actual range of more than 300km between fill-ups, which is ideal when going on an adventure run or even on a daily commute.
The high-quality suspension (41mm USD forks in the front, gas-charged rear shocks in the rear) and steel, double cradle frame provide a high level of stability and agility. No matter it is weaving the traffic through the city, gliding on highways, or taking on the less-than-perfect roads, the SR GT 400 is balanced and confidence-building.
Loaded with Tech and Comfort
The new crossover scooter of Aprilia does not only concern raw performance. SR GT 400 comes with features that introduce high-end convenience into the market. There is a modern 5 inch full color TFT display in the center and is also equipped with inbuilt Bluetooth and Aprilia MIA app connectivity. Navigation, calls and music are all available to the riders straight in the cockpit including voice commands. The scooter is equipped with comfort options such as keyless ignition, a USB-C charger, and a large underseat storage that makes the scooter prepared both on the regular and adventurous rides.
The Aprilia SR GT 400 also provides dual channel switchable ABS, advanced traction control (ATC), and high performance braking system, with a 300mm floating front disc with radial 4-piston caliper, and a 240mm rear disc. Electronics package is adjustable: even rear ABS and ATC could be switched off in those instances when the adventurous, light off-road ride is appealing.
Designed for Real-World Fun
Aprilia SR GT 400 is not just an urban scooter, the generous cushioning of the suspension, massive wheels and a 190mm ground clearance allow it to venture further than most scooters will. The tires used by Mitas Enduro Trail, Enduro Trail, are not only good grippers but also the riding position of the bike, wide handle bars, stepped seat, and plenty on the floor board make it comfortable in the long run. The power to weight ratio of the scooter is at 186kg (running weight) hence making the scooter one of the most agile and fast in the category.
Introduction to the Game Changer in Urban Mobility.
Through the SR GT 400, Aprilia has developed a category defining, adventure-bound scooter that combines spur-of-the-moment performance, tech savvy luxury and eye catching design. It is a good day time commuter, a good highway cruiser, and a daring light trail machine in a package. Although the timeline of the launch of India is not known, its entry would help create a new standard in the market against competitors such as the Honda Forza and Yamaha XMAX, which are also multi-faceted two-wheelers that would have a strong demand in the market.
To the city adventurer or weekend explorer, the Aprilia SR GT 400 presents an experience that is thrilling, sophisticated and with an all-round quality that in fact can be infinite.
