However, to improve its aesthetic appeal, the brand has added a new paint scheme inspired by the middle-weight sport bike RS 457. This is in the form of a white with red and the other with purple with red. This, combined with the sporty design, makes it step into the territory of the Hero Xoom 160 and the Yamaha Aerox 155. One significant update to the SR 175 is the introduction of a color TFT display, which resembles the unit found on the RS 457 and Tuono 457. However, the interface and animations differ noticeably. Similar to the 457 models, the display includes Bluetooth connectivity, enabling smartphone pairing through the Aprilia app for call notifications, alerts, and music management. In terms of mechanics, the components, such as the frame, suspension, brakes, and tires, seem to remain the same as those of the SR 160. The scooter is equipped with 14-inch wheels on both the front and rear, fitted with wide 120-section tires. Braking is managed by a front disc featuring single-channel ABS, along with a rear drum brake.
