The Yamaha Aerox 155, which is the company’s first maxi-scooter in India, has been released at a price of Rs 1.29 lakh (about) (ex-showroom). The Aerox 155, which has an engine based on the recently debuted R15 V4, is advertised as one of India’s fastest and most powerful scooters, and it is expected to compete with the Aprilia SXR 160, which costs around the same as the Yamaha.
The Aerox is propelled by a 155 cc, liquid-cooled, four-valve engine with variable valve actuation (VVA) that produces 15 horsepower and 13.9 Newton-meters of torque (hp/Nm). A mild-hybrid system is also included as part of the package, which makes use of an integrated motor generator and enables the automatic stop-start function, which shuts off the engine when the scooter comes to a complete stop in order to save gasoline.
In addition to its 126-kilogram kerb weight, the Aerox 155 has a 145-millimeter ground clearance, a 5.5-liter fuel tank capacity, and a seat height of 790 millimetres.
The Aerox 155 is equipped with 14-inch alloy wheels up front and back, as well as a 230-millimeter front disc brake and a 130-millimeter drum brake in the rear. It also features a telescopic fork, twin rear shock absorbers, and a rear tyre that is 140 mm wide. ABS with a single channel is standard.
Among the many features of the Aerox 155 are 24.5 litres of underseat storage space, LED head- and taillights, an LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, an external fuel lid with an option for a phone charger, as well as an engine cut-off function via the side-stand. The Y-Connect smartphone app will also allow owners to follow their vehicle’s fuel usage statistics, last parking location, and receive reminders about maintenance and malfunctions.
When it comes to the Aerox, there will be two colour options to pick from: Racing Blue and Grey Vermilion. Yamaha will also sell it in its iconic Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP livery for an additional Rs 1500. Please keep in mind that the Aerox MotoGP edition will only be available in a limited number of units.
