The Yamaha Aerox 155 is India’s most affordable performance-oriented scooter with a liquid-cooled engine. The Aerox 155 is packed with features like LED illumination with hazard light function, a digital LCD instrument cluster, smartphone connectivity via Yamaha’s Y-connect app, single-channel ABS and segment-first traction control as standard. As the suffix suggests, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is powered by a 155cc engine, borrowed from… you guessed it, the R15 V4!
The Aerox 155 rolls on 14-inch tyres sprung on a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers.
The Aerox primarily rivals the Aprilia SXR 160, which fails to match the Yamaha’s features or power figures.

Yamaha Aerox 155 comes in a standard variant with four colour options all priced at Rs 1,42,800, ex-showroom Delhi. Unlike a traditional scooter, the Yamaha Aerox 155 has a centre spine beneath its floorboard with a fuel reservoir. Through the Y-connect app you also get to know the last parking location, rev counter, malfunction/maintenance alert and daily/monthly fuel consumption data. Lastly, the Aerox 155 also features idle-start-stop function which shuts the engine off if it’s idling for a prolonged duration.
Yamaha Aerox 155 is powered by a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 155cc engine which is borrowed from the popular R15 and MT-15 with an automatic transmission. The scooter is built on an underbone chassis which is suspended on a telescopic front fork and dual shocks at the rear.

A recent shift has also been recorded in the entry-level segment that indicates that more buyers now plan to invest in scooters than bikes, of course, thanks to the varied options available. While Yamaha still has a relatively tiny share in the Indian scooter market, its other Japanese counterpart has really cracked the code with its offerings.
But Yamaha has shown in the past that its scooters (Fascino 125 and the RayZR 125) even though holding a small customer base, have proved to be very compelling propositions. Another unconventional bit that can be highlighted is the addition of the radiator panel on the right side of the scooter, which in my opinion, looks cool. While there is adequate space to keep your regular paraphernalia, it simply can not accommodate a full-size rider helmet which is a big downer. While the Aerox does get a fully digital anti-glare multifunction negative LCD that comes brimming with an array of information, seeing the kind of premium Yamaha is charging for this scooter.
The screen displays all the required info in a very legible and no-nonsense format, and the data remains visible even in bright daylight conditions. Also due to its slight slant geometry, the rider tends to slip forward when the scooter it stopped with a force. The 0-60 kmph is achieved lighting fast, and also attaining triple-digit speeds feels stupendously easy on the Aerox.
Even with a front as wide as 110 mm, its nose feels light and agile, and that’s majorly because of the choice of the right rim size.

It might not feel quick off the line, but once it crosses 5000rpm and the VVA kicks in, the digits on the speedo reads 100kmph faster than you’d expect. The chunky tyres it comes with offer decent grip while the suspension is on the stiffer side to complement spirited riding. While the setup does feel a bit jarring at higher speeds over bridge joints and squarish bumps, it felt quite pliable over regular road undulations and potholes under 60kmph.
