Introduction

Aprilia - MX 50 (up to 2005, ZD4TTC)

The Aprilia MX 50 (type ZD4TTC) is a sporty 50 cc motorcycle in supermoto style, produced until the mid-2000s. It combines a bold, aggressive design with modern suspension technology and a proven AM6 two-stroke engine with a 6-speed gearbox.
Thanks to its compact design, low weight, and excellent road handling, it was especially popular among young riders.

Model history

The MX 50 was developed as a supermoto-inspired version of the Aprilia RX 50 and was factory-equipped for road use.
The ZD4TTC model was technically closely related to the ZD4STD version but differed slightly in features and market alignment. It was offered primarily in specific countries and remained in production until around 2005.
As a sporty introduction to geared mopeds with a road setup, the MX 50 was a favorite among youth riders.
