APRILIA SX 50 (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia SX 50 was a supermotard motorcycle produced by Aprilia since 2006 alongside the RX 50 model. The bike was powered by a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine manufactured by Derbi/Piaggio.

In 2014, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia SX 50, an entry-level small displacement but powerful motorcycle best suited for young Aprilia fans. In its restricted version, the bike could have been used by 16-year riders on some public roads.

The bike came with the same package as previous models, featuring technical, visual, and performance specifications without any modifications except graphics and colors.

It was fitted with the same standard features as previous models, like a high-mounted front fender, a small cowl with a single headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a dual-sided swingarm, a high-mounted exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with black rims and road-tires.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 40 mm telescopic fork on the front with 195 mm wheel travel and a hydraulic single shock absorber on the rear with 180 mm of travel, offering optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the wheels were fitted with a 260 mm stainless steel disc coupled to a floating caliper on the front and one 180 mm disc with a floating caliper on the rear wheel.

In the power department, the 2014 Aprilia SX 50 had its soul brought to life by a 49cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, sending the power to the rear wheel via a six-speed manual transmission and a final chain drive.
