The NS400Z has always been built around an engaging performance experience, and with this update, we have added advanced technology that brings greater convenience and connectivity to the way riders use their motorcycle today. We have retained what makes the NS400Z distinctive while making the riding experience more intuitive and definitely daring."

The update coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Pulsar brand nameplate in the Indian two-wheeler market.

Italian two-wheeler maker Aprilia India has launched its all-new SXR GT range of scooters, introducing a new model lineup engineered for urban commuting and longer-distance travel.

The scooter range is available in two air-cooled powertrain configurations: the 175cc hp-e and the 125cc hp-e. The 175cc hp-e engine generates 9.76 kW at 7,200 rpm and 14.14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The 125cc hp-e engine produces 7.8 kW at 7,400 rpm and 10.4 Nm of torque at 6,200 rpm. Both engines comply with BSVI OBD II Stage B regulations and are compatible with E20 fuel blends.

Diego Graffi, Chairman and MD of Piaggio Vehicles, said: "We see significant headroom for premiumisation in India’s scooter market as customers increasingly seek products that deliver a richer and more differentiated ownership experience. The future of premium urban mobility will be defined not by getting from one point to another, but by how people experience the journey. Today’s riders expect performance, comfort, technology and individuality in equal measure. The new Aprilia SXR GT range embodies that shift, bringing Aprilia’s performance DNA and Italian design together with the versatility demanded by modern Indian lifestyles. Our 2-wheeler ambition is clear: to keep challenging established conventions and introduce products that expand what consumers can expect from the premium scooter segment."

The SXR GT features 14-inch wheels and a front LED headlight assembly. The SXR GT 125 is offered in Matte Black, Glossy Azzurro, and Glossy White, while the SXR GT 175 is available in Metallic Blue, Matte Black, and Matte Green.

Instrumentation varies by model variant. The SXR GT 175 features a 5-inch TFT screen with integrated handlebar controls, Bluetooth connectivity, music management, call management, and turn-by-turn navigation, alongside single-channel front-wheel ABS. The SXR GT 125 is fitted with a 5-inch LCD cluster, a 220 mm front disc brake, and a 140 mm rear drum brake. Optional factory accessories for the range include a manually adjustable windshield, a perimeter protection kit, and a rear top box.
