Yamaha Aerox 155: With the market awash in within conservative and purpose-focused scooter offerings, Yamaha decided to do something different, something spunkier, sportier, and refreshingly different – enter the Yamaha Aerox 155.
Reinventing the scooter category as a premium performance sport scooter, your daily commute will never be the same with the all-new Yamaha Aerox 155. It’s made for those who are attracted to two-wheeled practicality without having to give up excitement.
It may on the face of it resemble a maxi-scooter from the future but underneath the panels, it’s direct DNA comes from the Yamaha R15. Yes, it really is the same liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 155cc power plant with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) that propels this mean-looking machine – but offering a distinct mix of adrenaline and practicality.
Yamaha Aerox 155 Mesmerizing Design That Will Catch Everyone’s Attention
The Aerox 155 isn’t for blending in. It’s designed to be eye-catching on the streets, and it is just that. Dull LED headlamps, a squinty body and a stepped saddle make it look angrier than a motorcycle, as well.
The fattish rear and edgy tail lamp design combined with big under bone ensure the Jupiter 125G has a lean and sporty body that looks like no others on the road.
Tubeless 14-inch wheels with wide rubber thrown into the mix alongside meaty proportions, make it one of the most macho scooters on sale in India today.
The low-slung foot board contributes to the sporty ergos, although it also reduces the typical step-through ease.
Engine and Performance –
True R15 Breed The restyled YZF R15 portends the ure R15 breed profile, although she has now matured and blossomed.
But what gives the Aerox 155 balls is its heart. The 155cc, 4-valve, liquid cooled engine produces a peak power output of around 14.8 PS and 13.9 Nm of torque, and is India’s most powerful scooter at present.
VVA technology means the engine is supple down low with a spike in performance on the upper reaches, for an intense mid- up top rush.
This power is transferred to the road via a CVT transmission, resulting in a very smooth power delivery performance while maintaining crisp off-the-line acceleration. Whether zipping through dense urban traffic or cruising at 56 mph on the highway, the scooter feels nimble and willing. Unlike many scooters, it’s designed for spirited riding.
Ride and Handling - Confidence on Every Corner
The Aerox gets telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers that have been set-up for sporty characteristics. It’s tight riding, not painful. It’s superbly stable and precise on the smooth and twisty stuff.
Estimates put the battery how long does it take for diflucan to allow a heavy meal lifenol a front disc and Abs, the rear section via a drum brake.
The big tires also add to the grip and great braking – though this is one I would have liked to see a rear brake on as well.

Fully digital LCD display with Y-Connect app via Bluetooth for a smart connection.

Yamaha Aerox 155 Final Verdict
