Well, you have two choices at the moment – the updated Aprilia SR 160 Race and the all-new Yamaha Aerox 155. The Yamaha Aerox 155 has broken convention in the scooter segment of India and has been gaining popularity since. The 155-cc, liquid-cooled sports scooter became an instant hit not just because of its engine but also because of its unique step-through design.

Yamaha Aerox 155 vs Aprilia SXR 160: Comparison

They came like a storm and took over everything in their stride; however, on the flip side, it also means they’re a bit too commonplace, which, in turn, suggests a space for more premium offerings. But until now, the choices for maxi-scooters in the Indian market were limited to the Suzuki Burgman Street and the Aprilia SXR 160.

Well, the answer is simple – these scooters demand more, because they have more to offer, without the clutch mechanism of a bike but with nearly the same fuel efficiency. For the tiny premium it demands over the price of the SXR, the Aerox does have a bit more to offer in terms of power, space, and features. The on-paper mechanical differences between the two are well reflected on the road – the Yamaha Aerox seems quite ahead of its rival in terms of pace and agility. Its throttle response is very crisp – even a slight action of the wrist results in a surprising burst of power, pulling you ahead on the road with the alacrity of a jungle cat. A quick acceleration test (refer to the table on the next page) of both scooters revealed a huge difference in their performance. The Aerox 155 gets a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear and rides on massive (for a scooter) 14-inch wheels.

Both scooters come with single-channel ABS, but it’s the Aprilia’s rear wheel that starts to squirm and skid under hard braking.

In its defence, I spent quite a lot of time on the Aerox first and got used to its bike-like feedback, so switching to the SXR post that felt like screaming bloody murder! You might start with it for your grocery runs, but I am sure, it will soon transcend those quick trips to nearby markets, and you will find yourself wanting to go for long rides. The design is really cool and looks striking on the road, especially in the racing blue and grey vermillion colour scheme.

Both scooters get an all-digital instrument cluster, which shows a ton of information, with Bluetooth connectivity, but neither of them offers navigation. A flat floorboard means more space for your feet and groceries, plus your mom can ride it too, for mine refused to get on the Aerox! Add to that Yamaha’s a wider dealership network, and what you get is a cool-looking maxi-scooter, packed with explosive power and features, which will also be easier to maintain in the long run. But whatever you choose, there is no denying that it’s time to move on to more dynamic offerings on the market, which are as good as some entry-level premium motorcycles.
