Aprilia Storm 125 Summary

The Storm 125 is the most affordable model in Aprilia’s India portfolio. It borrows the design language and hardware from its SR siblings. However, differentiating the Storm is the presence of smaller 12-inch alloy wheels shod with knobby Vee Rubber tyres.

It also gets a rugged graphic design that gives the scooter a distinctive look. Stopping power comes from drum brakes at both ends with CBS in order to keep the costs in check. Notably, Aprilia introduced a front disc brake as an option with the BS6 update.

The Storm 125 gets a twin-pod analogue instrument cluster from the SR125. Besides that, it uses the same telescopic forks up front and a single coil spring at the rear. For BS6 compliance, its 125cc, three-valve motor now gets fuel-injection, in place of the BS4 model’s carburetor, that also does duty in the SR125. The engine churns out 9.7bhp at 7,500rpm and 9.6Nm of torque at 5,500rpm.

Aprilia offers the Storm 125 with the choice of two colour options- red and yellow. And in terms of competition the scooter goes up against the Honda Grazia 125, TVS Ntorq 125, Suzuki Burgman Street 125 and Yamaha Ray ZR 125 in India.

Aprilia Storm 125 Review

  • Good Things

    • Features a potent motor
    • Tyres have ample grip
    • Easy to handle at low speeds
  • Could be Better

    • Gets an outdated instrument cluster
    • Doesn’t get disc brake even as an option
    • Small footboard and less under-seat storage

BikeWale's Take

The Storm 125 is currently the most affordable offering from Aprilia. It is powered by a peppy 125cc motor while the compact dimensions, light weight and grippy tyres assist in handling and maneuverability. However, the Storm 125 has a stiff ride quality besides lacking features for carrying your knick-knacks.

Aprilia Storm 125 Expert Opinion

The Aprilia SR125 was introduced in India for one main reason – make the brand more affordable. With the SR160's price hovering close to Rs 1.30 lakh on road, there was a desperate need of a scooter that can continue to bring more buyers into the brand, and that is where the Storm 125 comes into the picture.

Introduction

Aprilia Storm 125 Front View

The Aprilia SR125 was introduced in India for one main reason – make the brand more affordable. With the SR160's price hovering close to Rs 1.30 lakh on road, there was a desperate need of a scooter that can continue to bring more buyers into the brand, and that is where the Storm 125 comes into the picture.  

The SR125 Storm is still a premium scooter, but can also be looked as an alternative for buyers who want more than just a traditional 125cc scooter. There’s the TVS NTorq 125 and the more aspirational Suzuki Burgman Street, but the brand Aprilia takes things to a whole new level. 

The Visuals

Aprilia Storm 125 Right Side View

The SR 125 Storm has borrowed all of its styling from its bigger cousin – the SR 160. The body panels, mirrors, headlamp cover, the tail section – all have been taken from the SR160. But there are a few things that are exclusive to the Storm 125. The black/silver stickers and the 12-inch wheels are found only on the Storm 125. Plus, the tyres are Vee Rubbers –a brand that was replaced by CEAT in the SR160. They look a bit off-road ready too. 

The Package

Aprilia Storm 125 Engine From Left

This Storm gets a 125cc motor. It makes around 10bhp of power and peak torque of 9.70Nm. The CVT gearbox is from the SR160 too, but has been heavily reworked. The semi-digital instrument cluster gives out decent ride information as well.  

Aprilia Storm 125 Instrument Cluster

The Storm 125 is equipped with combi-braking system (CBS). However, the scooter misses out on LED lights and there’s no parking brake. It also doesn’t get USB charging and boot light. And a multifunction ignition keyhole is missing as well. Having said that, the brakes are decent with a disc at the front and a drum at the rear. The entire suspension setup has been borrowed from the SR160 to keep costs in check. 

The Ride

Aprilia Storm 125 Front View

The Storm 125 continues to retain the sportiness and agility of the Aprilia brand. To start with, the 125cc three-valve air-cooled engine has decent amount of grunt but also manages to exhibit its smoothness. As soon as you twist the throttle, the Storm 125 feels extremely quick off the line. Give a bit more input and the scooter does some high speed runs quite comfortably. But there’s a huge speedometer error. In fact, the SR160 was plagued with the same issue. So, expect the Storm 125 to be at least 15kmph slower than what is shown on the cluster. But overall, the Storm 125 is a decently fast scooter.  

When it comes to city commuting, the Storm 125 plays well there. The ergonomics are comfortable. As a result, it’s easy to steer the scooter. In fact, even a tall rider like me didn’t feel uncomfortable at U-turns.  There’s enough room on the floorboard. So it can carry some bags from grocery visits too.  

Aprilia Storm 125 Front View

This Aprilia uses the same suspension unit from the SR160 but it feels so much better over bad and undulating roads. The credit goes to the smaller 12-inch wheels. The presence of these wheels made the company use taller profile tyres. So, the softer side walls also help with the riding experience. Having said that, the Storm 125 still returns a good amount of jarring. As a result, it becomes a bit difficult to deal with that front end when it comes to bad roads.  

Aprilia Storm 125 Right Side View

The brakes are done well. There’s good amount of progression and power. The CBS works well, but it could have been so much better, especially under hard braking.   

Our Take

Aprilia Storm 125 Front View

The Aprilia Storm 125 is priced quite higher than its rivals like the TVS Ntorq 125. But this Aprilia comes with brand and aspirational values, and that is something a lot of people want from their scooters these days. The Storm 125 is fast, can do city runs pretty well, and will make people look at you at every traffic signal. But it misses out on some must have features, and in the world connected with feature-rich products, the Storm 125 misses out on a lot of points. So, if you are in the market for a scooter that will enhance your style statement along with commute, buy the Aprilia Storm 125. But if you want bang for your buck, well, then you need to look at the NTorq 125.

      Powerful sporty segment

      30 weeks ago


      Bharath Kumar

      If ur looking for scooter which can be sporty and powerful go with it.
      Fuel economy is only average depending on how you drive based on your speed.
      Seat comfort is hard and you have to re-stretch it.
      Gear oil lasts only up to 2,000 km on refilling it.
      Grippy and off-roading tyre keep you hazzle free on traffics.
      Haed light could be somewhat ok, not satisfied. Provides very low light even on high beams.

      Change oil every 2000 km... It's my opinion I often change. Top up gear oil ... It lasts only upto 2000km

      Aprilia Storm 125 review

      1 year ago


      Peter Ngamgoulen Mate

      First of all I really love the way it sounds like a ktm when it's about to slowdown, even if carrying 3 or 4 person's, we can still feel better & didn't shake us, i'm seriously excited to have one of my own, the smoothness doesn't change, even on the highways with a lot of small potholes everywhere, as the question asked to explain how much I've experience my dream bike aprilla, I have no idea how should I start it because everything about this aprilla makes me feel better even when i'm not the owner but sitting on the back an imagining like i'm the driver I used to get motivational speaker and want to start begging to the company if they can fulfill my biggest dream.
