Fused with modernity, sleek structure and built-in strength, the Yamaha Aerox 155 comes with the most powerful engine known so far.

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.

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 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.
