The Yamaha Aerox 155 has changed the way we think about scooters. Built for the brave, for those who like to enjoy life on the wilder side, the Aerox 155 takes sports scootering out of the city and into the world of high-speed riding. Featuring a high-performance engine, two-wheel, and dual-sport looks, luxurious space, and comfort, it’s the perfect vehicle to take on the city—in style.
Eye-Catching Design
The Aerox 155 has aggressive looks. It has a bold front face, twin LED headlamps, sharp contours over the body, and big 14-inch wheels that make it look sporty and beefy. With the aero bodyworj and underbone chassis, you get better stability as well as comfort for high speed riding.
The scooter gets a broad rear tire, lean side panels and a spli t- type seat with a sharp rear-end. It is designed like a motorcycle, not like any scooter available on the Indian roads.
Lightning Fast Pick-Up with Advance Blue Core Engine With VVA Tech
Powering the Aerox 155 is a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is mated to Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology. It develops 15 PS of power at 8,000 rpm, and torque figures stand at 13.9 Nm at 6,500 rpm. This motor comes paired with a CVT gearbox and it does a great job of delivering power.
What sets the Aerox apart is its engine platform – it is based on the one that powers the Yamaha R15, which means it is one of the most exciting scooters for its performance at lower and higher revs. Regardless of whether you’re riding on the street or highway, the Aerox does it with ease.
Fuel Efficiency
For what is a sporty number, the Yamaha Aerox 155 boasts impressive fuel efficiency. You should expect an average of 40-45 km/l in mixed riding. Improving fuel economy further is the Smart Motor Generator (SMG) system with automatic stop and start system, that is particularly useful where there is a lot of stop start city driving.
Feature-Rich and Smart
The all new Aerox 155, equipped with cool features that will surely ignite the passion of third generation riders. Some key highlights include:
5.8-inch liquid-crystal display for at-a-glance real-time information
Connect via Bluetooth with the Yamaha Y-Connect app
Key-less Ignition (on Version S) through Smart Key System
Traction Control System (TCS)
Idle Start-Stop system
One-channel ABS for better safety
Users can also read fuel consumption, get service reminders and also receive phone call/SMS alerts on the instrument console through the Y-Connect app.
Ride and Handling
The ride on the Aerox 155 though is firm, set for the sportier handling. It gets telescopic front forks and a monoshock at the rear; a set-up that is good in terms of cornering stability. The big wheels and fat tyres make for a grounded feel at speed.
Still, riders could feel the suspension to be a bit stiff over uneven roads or speed bumps. For city riding, it’s fine, but others may want something softer for longer rides or rural roads.
Practicality and Storage
Accommodation storage-wise comes in the form of a 24.5-litre under-seat pocket found beneath the saddle, which can store full-face helmet or small bags. An outside fuel lid allows refueling without opening the seat. It also has a USB charging socket for smartphones and other devices.
That said, the pillion seat is a tad tight and the grab rails do little to inspire confidence for longer rides in two-up configuration.
Price and Variants
- The Yamaha Aerox 155 comes in two primary variants :
- Standard Aerox 155
- Aerox 155 Version S (with Smart Key)
The price kicks off at about ₹1.47 lakh and goes up to ₹1.53 lakh (ex-showroom). That puts it at the high end of the scooter market, although considering its performance, tech and individual style, we’d argue it’s good value.
Final Verdict
The Yamaha Aerox 155 will appeal to those looking for something more than a run-of-the-mill commuter. It’s the best of both worlds — the freedom of a scooter and the soul of a sportbike. With its exceptional riding performance and sporty, excitable image, the Aerox 155 is at the top of the fleet. It doesn’t matter if you’re in college, a city dweller, or a performance junkie –this scooter is going to make your commutes exciting and efficient.
