CHASSIS:
Sportcity 300 retains the proven layout of the previous generations, which, right from the very first model, has made the Sportcity the benchmark in its sector for safety and rideability. Particular care went into the design of the frame to achieve optimum stiffness even without a bulky central spar. The frame is made from tubular high strength steel and has been developed to ensure outstanding torsional stiffness and strength in spite of the flat footrest platform. This extremely efficient frame gives the Sportcity superior feel and the distinctive sporty character you expect from any Aprilia product.
The telescopic hydraulic front fork with 35 mm diameter stanchions ensures maximum steering precision and, with an impressive 100 mm of wheel travel, an excellent capacity for absorbing bumps, acting as a highly effective filter for tackling cobbled roads, potholes and manhole covers with total confidence.
The engine and transmission assembly also serves duty as the swingarm, linked to two hydraulic shock absorbers with adjustable spring preload. The ability to adapt the suspension setup to suit individual needs in relation to load and road conditions ensures maximum safety in all conditions. An impressive wheel travel of 80 mm ensures excellent comfort.
Powerful brakes are another of the strengths of the Sportcity, especially in the range-topping 300 i.e. version, with a triple disc brake system minimising stopping distances and significantly increasing safety, meaning that even less experienced riders can bring the scooter to a halt rapidly and in complete confidence.
ENGINES:
The state of the art engine is yet another jewel in the crown of the Sportcity 300; the electronically injected four valve powerplant represents the current state of the art in scooter engine technology. Powerful, tractable, extremely clean and frugal, the new single cylinder engine is totally coherent with the philosophy of the Sportcity. Increased capacity allows this engine to deliver even more performance, especially in terms of torque, the most important attribute for a city vehicle which spends much of its life in stop-start traffic conditions. With an impressive power output of 22.5 HP at 8,000 rpm and 22 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, this single cylinder engine offers class beating performance.
Style has always been one of the greatest strengths of the Sportcity, and the new 300 is now offered with even more character in the shape of the "Black Line" limited edition, with its completely revised image. The large, comfortable saddle, which is ideal for two-up use, is ergonomically shaped to optimise comfort for both the rider and the passenger. The special fabric used to upholster the saddle increases grip, minimising slippage under braking and increasing both comfort and safety.
A wide footrest platformis a must for any scooter of this category, and Sportcity Cube delivers in this area, too, offering remarkably generous foot space. The footrest of the Sportcity Cube offers total comfort and load carrying capacity: The platform narrows where the rider puts his or her legs down, to allow riders of all statures to comfortably and safely reach the ground with both feet at all times.
The generous leg shield offers excellent protection against the elements. The two vents at the sides of the shield serve two purposes: they extract hot air from the radiator and also heat the rider's legs in the winter, if used in conjunction with the leg cover. The luggage rack incorporates the passenger grab handles and features an integrated mounting for the Aprilia top box, to further expand the load carrying capacity. Thanks to its optimised design and the meticulous attention paid to make full use of every possible space, Sportcity is small outside but big inside. The compact dimensions and high wheels have not compromised the amount of usable space, and the scooter boasts a helmet compartment large enough to accommodate jet helmet with visor plus a few other small objects. This carrying capacity has been achieved without sacrificing ergonomics or ease of use, as the saddle is just 815 mm from the ground. Optimised space usage has made it possible to include a lockable glove compartment behind the leg shield, which also features a practical power outlet for recharging your mobile phone.
The comprehensive mixed analogue-digital instrument panel includes a rev counter and a multifunctional display, just like a modern premium motorcycle. The functions of the display are accessible directly from the handlebar for total safety.
