  Watch Video Review   Priced at Rs 65,000 (ex-showroom Pune), the Storm 125 is Aprilia’s least expensive scooter in the country. If you’re planning to buy one, here are all the finer details that you need to know before you write that cheque: Sleek Italian design: The Aprilia SR 125 and the Storm 125 share the same design scheme. That includes a sharp-looking apron with an apron-mounted headlamp, handlebar cowl-mounted indicators and slim side panels. Interestingly, the Storm 125 gets a single reflector and halogen bulb assembly instead of the SR 125’s twin-barrel unit. The headlamp is flanked by twin pilot lamps. Just like the SR 125, the Storm also features a twin pod analogue instrument cluster housing the fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer and tell-tale lights. Both scooters miss out on a trip meter. However, in terms of paint, the Storm 125 gets a different finish compared to the SR 125. The Storm is offered in a matte paint scheme, either in yellow or red. This is fur

  Watch Video Review   Triumph has launched its new hardcore Scrambler 1200 XC in India at Rs 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India). We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review   While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. Also read:  Family Feud: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC vs Tiger 800 XCx   The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit.   Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen.

Aprilia has lowered the entry point to its portfolio with the Storm 125 . Priced at Rs 65,000 (ex-showroom Pune), it is the most affordable Aprilia, undercutting the SR 125 by almost Rs 8,000. Here’s our selection of detailed shots of the scooter: Aprilia has carried over the SR’s sleek design language to the Storm 125 as well. However, in order to differentiate it from its sporty sibling, the Storm 125 gets a new colour scheme with new off-road themed graphics. While the headlamp shape is similar to the one found in the SR 125, the Storm 125 features a single bulb setup with twin pilot lamps flanking it. This is in contrast with the SR 125’s twin bulb units. The instrument cluster is the same analogue unit as the SR 125. It gets basic readouts like fuel gauge, speedometer and odometer apart from various tell-tale lights. The Storm 125 rides on a 12-inch alloy wheels shod with 120-section dual-purpose Vee tyre at the front. A telescopic fork and a 150mm drum brake with CBS a
