Yamaha Aerox 155 scooter launched in India at Rs 1.29 lakh

While the scooter doesn't have any direct rivals, its closest competition is the Aprilia SXR 160.

Yamaha Aerox 155 scooter has been launched in the Indian market with a price tag of Rs. 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The new maxi-style performance scooter from the Japanese two-wheeler brand comes with an underbone design. The Aerox 155 comes with plenty of features and equipment, including LED lighting all around, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, start/stop tech and a large 25-litre under-seat storage capacity.

The scooter also comes with large 14-inch wheels with a 140-section tyre at the rear. Yamaha offers the Aerox 155 with telescopic forks upfront and twin shocks at the rear. Braking is via a disc at the front and a drum brake at the back, supported by single-channel ABS as standard.

The Yamaha Aerox 155 uses the same 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine which also powers the newly-launched R15 V4.0 motorcycle. However, the engine on the Aerox has been de-tuned to produce 15 BHP and 13.9 Nm; making it the most powerful scooter currently on sale in the Indian market.

While the scooter doesn't have any direct rivals, its closest competition is the Aprilia SXR 160.
