Yamaha Aerox 155 Review : Best Highway Scooter?
This ensures you can finally cruise on an Indian scooter at 90-95km/h all day long and still have enough grunt in reserve for hitting in excess of 110 km/h easily. Likewise, 13.9 Nm of torque comes in handy on uphill terrains, as I found out during the climb to Kufri, about 8000 feet above mean sea level. I stand 6 feet tall with a rather healthy build and scooters aren’t my taste merely due to the fact that I like two-wheelers that can handle my load.
Happy to report that the Aerox exceeded my expectations, both for extended city runs as well as prolonged highway stints.
Second, the suspension is sorted and though slightly on the firmer side, soaks up bad roads and undulations pretty nicely. Apart from the ‘motorcycle’ like floor board area that removes the possibility of keeping any luggage here, the under-seat storage space comes handy. From changing lanes at triple digit speeds to chewing up miles on the curvy sections of Himachal Pradesh, the Aerox even handles snow and black ice easily. Fuel economy, if you are in high speed mode, is down to low 30s which means the 5.5 litre tank leaves you with a real world, safe riding range of about 140-150km only.
Next, the ‘motorcycle’ type floor board does eat up into your practical or storage space and this is one area every other scooter performs better in.

Yamaha Aerox 155: Fuel Efficiency, Specifications, Prices, and More!
The Yamaha Aerox 155 is powered by a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation). For 2023, Yamaha updated the Aerox with the OBD2 compliance, so, it now gets an onboard diagnostics sensor to monitor real-time emissions. Yamaha offers the Aerox 155 in four colours – Metallic Black, Grey Vermillion, Silver, and Racing Blue.
Yamaha Aerox 155 Real-world Numbers Explained: Acceleration, Braking And Mileage
At BikeDekho, we tell you the exact acceleration and fuel efficiency figures that the Aerox 155 delivered. This engine, further assisted by VVA, puts out 15PS and 13.9Nm, making it among the most powerful scooters on sale. As you can see, the Aerox isn’t particularly quick off the line, but it has a strong mid-range, and it’s able to reach 80kmph under 11 seconds — a really impressive feat.
Masters of mileage: Aerox vs. NMax
Its riding position, albeit comfortable, puts the rider in a more relaxed and upright stance, thus increasing drag. As it is with cars, motorcycles with larger and wider tires tend to consume more power as they are heavier and have more rolling resistance.
Smaller and thinner tires are lighter and more nimble making them better suited for riders who care about fuel efficiency. According to Makki Lusterio, owner of one souped-up Yamaha Aerox, “before the engine swap and the transmission (CVT) tuning, I typically get around 43 kilometers per meter.” Aside from the ECU, Mendoza slapped a slew of accessories on his scooter which in most cases, can also affect a motorcycle’s fuel efficiency. Based on these numbers, we’ve found that the Yamaha Aerox is slightly better than the NMax in terms of fuel efficiency.
As the owners have put it, the Mio Aerox is built for better cornering and improved speed while the NMax is designed for cruising and touring.
Yamaha Aerox 155: My impressions after 140km with the scooter
Took the same route the Top Gear trio did, and it returned a fuel efficiency figure of ~42 – 45 kmpl. Rode up from Hue to Hoi An, via the Hai Van pass, the same route the Top Gear guys did in the Vietnam special.
Great rider seat: Wide and well-cushioned for your derriere while jutting out ever so slightly between your thighs to give you the ‘between-the-thigh-grip’ you need while you corner like on a sport bike. In the sense that you can corner in the twisties without any hesitation yet is comfortable on the highways (not soft but not stiff either, a bit in the goldilocks zone). The engine and CVT gearbox combo delivers power linearly and it pulled like a train even on the mountain twisties with a two up payload of ~150kgs. Under-seat storage is scooter equivalent of the cargo area of a station wagon. I took a full face helmet + our jackets, or our massive camera bag and 2x1L bottles. Based on those two points, I’d say it’s the scooter Bond would take to Casino Monte Carlo if he had to ride there.
I couldn’t take it anymore after half a day and my Mrs somehow soldiered on the pillion for the last ~3 hrs. Lack of grab rails: It has these slots under the rear seat like in a KTM RCXXX, so your hands are going to be sore from holding on.
Or alternatively you’ll have to grab the rider’s midriff like on a sports bike, but since you are seated upright and not leaning forward your lower back will get sore if you do this. I dare say I had more fun riding this than a motorbike, no more hunting for the perfect gear for a corner, no more trying to stay in the power-band.
