About the Aprilia SX 50

Powered by a Euro 2 compliant liquid cooled 49.9cc single cylinder two stroke engine, producing around 6 bhp.

The engine itself only weighs 15kg and by only including a kick starter Aprilia shaved even more off.

The Aprilia RX50 is essentially the same bike but with larger spoked wheels, off-road tyres, a smaller front disc and a 50mm higher seat. Both bikes can be limited for 16 year olds or derestricted to unlock the 50mph top speed.

The wire-spoked 17" wheel takes a 110/80 tyre at the front and 130/70 at the rear.

Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to young or novice riders, often pre-licence teens, learning throttle control and bike handling in a low-stakes environment.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight supermoto-styled 50cc machine for playful street riding, learner training, and short sporty jaunts rather than serious performance.
Rider FitIts featherweight 99 kg build and low-effort controls make it extremely easy to handle and flick around for smaller or lighter riders.
CharacterA cheeky, nimble little supermoto that encourages flickable, energetic riding despite its modest two-stroke power output.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for taller or heavier adults, highway commuting, or anyone wanting real straight-line speed or long-distance comfort.

2010 Aprilia SX 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Aprilia SX 50, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
