- Due to rising input costs, Yamaha has raised the price of its Aerox 155 scooter in India. However, its popularity among buyers is unlikely to be affected as it is a niche product.
- Despite the price-hike on our shores, the vehicle is still competitively priced. It takes on rivals such as the Aprilia SR 160 and SXR 160.
The Yamaha Aerox 155 sits on an underbone frame and sports a headlight-mounted front apron, a side-mounted upswept exhaust, arrowhead-shaped mirrors, and a stepped-up single-piece seat. The vehicle packs a Bluetooth-enabled LCD instrument cluster, a side-stand engine cut-off system, a full-LED setup for lighting, and rides on 14-inch alloy wheels. It weighs 126kg and can store 5.5 liters of fuel.
Yamaha Aerox 155 is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with variable valve actuation (VVA) technology that generates a maximum power of 14.79hp and a peak torque of 13.9Nm. The mill is linked to a V-belt automatic gearbox.
In terms of safety equipment, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is equipped with a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear wheel, along with single-channel ABS for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the maxi-scooter are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a unit swing on the rear end.
After the latest price-hike in India, the Yamaha Aerox 155 sports a price-figure of Rs. 1.32 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The maxi-style scooter is available in blue, gray, black, and a MotoGP edition.
