Overview

Introducing the 2021 Aprilia SX 50 Factory, a stunning example of a super motard that combines sharp styling with impressive performance. Designed for young riders and enthusiasts craving an agile and responsive machine, the SX 50 Factory stands out in the competitive lightweight segment. With a price tag of €3680, it’s an attractive option for those looking to dive into the world of two-wheeled excitement without breaking the bank. Whether you're navigating city streets or exploring twisting backroads, this motorcycle promises an exhilarating ride. At the heart of the SX 50 Factory lies a peppy 50cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an impressive punch for its size. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and a meticulous bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm, this engine is finely tuned for spirited performance. The electronically controlled Dell’Orto PHVA 17.5 carburettor ensures a responsive throttle, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures during extended rides. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a wet multi-plate clutch, provides seamless gear transitions that enhance the overall riding experience. Riders can expect a fuel consumption rate of 3.14 litres per 100 km, making it not only fun but also efficient—perfect for daily commutes or spirited weekend rides. The SX 50 Factory is equipped with advanced features that elevate its performance and handling capabilities. The twin-tube steel frame offers a robust foundation, while the front upside-down fork with 41 mm stanchions and the rear hydraulic monoshock absorber deliver excellent suspension travel—240 mm at the front and 200 mm at the rear—ensuring a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. Stopping power is provided by stainless steel discs at both the front and rear, paired with floating calipers for reliable braking performance. With a seat height of 875 mm, the bike is accessible for a wide range of riders, and its lightweight design at just 94 kg enhances agility and maneuverability. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and advanced suspension contribute to exceptional maneuverability, making it ideal for urban riding and twisty roads.
  • Fuel Efficiency: With a consumption rate of 3.14 litres/100 km, the SX 50 Factory is economical, allowing riders to enjoy longer journeys without frequent refueling.
  • Youthful Design: The striking aesthetics and vibrant color options make this motorcycle visually appealing, attracting young riders and enthusiasts alike.

Cons

  • Limited Power: As a 50cc motorcycle, it may not provide the same level of performance as larger bikes, which could disappoint more experienced riders seeking speed.
  • Kick Start Only: The traditional kick start may not be as convenient for all riders, particularly those who prefer an electric start for quick and easy ignition.
  • Small Fuel Tank: With a capacity of only 7 litres, riders may find themselves needing to refuel more frequently on longer trips.
