The Cube 250 is the same fuel-injected 244 cc Sportcity with the 2008 'Cube' facelift: a reshaped front, new instruments, a longer tail with a wider seat, bigger rack, and proper passenger grab handles and pegs. Mechanically it carries over the 22.5 hp Quasar engine, 15-inch wheels and triple-disc braking, and it became the big-wheel commuter that Aprilia kept offering in North America after Europe moved to the 300.
