It was also rumoured that Aprilia SR 150 would gain adjustable front forks setup in its updated avatar. Aprilia's SR 150 was launched in the country in August 2016 and the scooter has earned a fairly good response from motor enthusiasts. However, the scooter has been criticised for its stiff suspension even though a fast scooter like SR 150 requires such a stiff ride.

It is also offered in Race edition, which gets colour theme and graphics inspired by Aprilia's MotoGP bike --RS-GP.
