The SR Max 125 was developed to offer riders in the 125 cc class a powerful and comfortable option, suitable for both city commuting and longer journeys.

Model History

The SR Max range was first introduced in 2011 and marked Aprilia’s efforts to conquer the sporty maxi-scooter segment with a focus on performance and comfort.
The SR Max 125 (2011–2014, ZAPM357) belongs to the first generation of this model family and was designed as the smaller alternative to the SR Max 300.

In 2013, Aprilia focused on a blend of sporty design and practical features to compete with brands such as Yamaha and Honda.
