Exciting news for scooter enthusiasts in Nepal! The Aprilia Storm 125 has just received a much-anticipated BS6 upgrade, courtesy of Delta Autocorp, the authorized distributor of Aprilia scooters in the country. Let’s dive into what this upgrade means and what you can expect from the latest model.
Why Aprilia Storm 125 Stands Out
When you think of scooters, you might envision smooth city rides, but Aprilia scooters are a different breed. Known for their high performance and aggressive design, they even excel off-road. The upgraded Storm 125 features a fuel-injected engine, enhancing both power and efficiency, which promises an even better riding experience.
What’s the Price?
The price of the Aprilia Storm 125 in Nepal is now Rs. 3.25 Lakhs. This is a notable increase from its original launch price of Rs. 2.25 Lakhs in 2019, reflecting the enhancements that come with the BS6 model. As BS6 emission norms become standard, it was only a matter of time before the upgraded variant made its way to Nepal.

The Aprilia Storm 125 has always been a showstopper, and the latest model continues this trend. With its bold graphics and sporty look, it’s sure to catch attention on the streets. The low-mounted halogen headlights and wide 12-inch tires enhance its aggressive stance, making it stand out in the scooter segment, especially for off-road capabilities.
The seating is designed for comfort, accommodating most riders easily. The semi-digital instrument console provides basic information but keeps the focus on performance.
Performance You Can Rely On
The Storm 125’s engine delivers a smooth ride, reaching a top speed of 90 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in just 9.5 seconds. Its 6.5-liter fuel tank is among the largest in its class, allowing for longer rides without frequent stops for fuel.
With telescopic forks and adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers, the scooter handles both city streets and rougher terrain effortlessly.

Availability and Competition
The upgraded Aprilia Storm 125 is now available for purchase in Nepal. While it competes with models like the TVS NTorq 125 FI, the Storm 125 is particularly appealing if you prefer its performance and design.
Though the NTorq offers slightly higher torque and better connectivity features, the Storm 125 provides a unique riding experience with its aggressive styling and off-road capability.
