Aprilia SX 50 - 2010 Specifications and Reviews
The 2010 Aprilia SX 50 is an entry-level sport scooter designed for young riders and beginners seeking an agile, nimble commuter. Known for its compact dimensions and lightweight handling, the SX 50 excels in urban environments where maneuverability and ease of use are paramount. With straightforward kick-start operation and accessible seat height, it offers an approachable introduction to powered two-wheeling.
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.

Performance Profile & Rider Fit

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