Rocket through the streets with swagger, the wind whipping past as the Yamaha Aerox 155 New Edition turns every ride into a thrill fest. Launched in India with a fresh 2025 update, this maxi-scooter is a beast for speed lovers, blending superbike DNA with scooter practicality. Priced at ₹1,50,130 (ex-showroom Delhi), its 155cc engine screams performance, while a 48.62 kmpl mileage keeps your wallet and the planet happy. With sharp looks, cutting-edge tech, and a vibe that’s all about dynamic rides, the Aerox 155 is here to dominate the premium scooter scene. Whether you’re weaving through city traffic or blasting down the highway, this scooter delivers the rush you crave. Let’s throttle up and dive into what makes this ride a speed enthusiast’s dream for 2025.
Design That Ignites the Streets
The Aerox 155 doesn’t just roll up—it announces its arrival with a snarl of style. Its aggressive, aerodynamic bodywork draws straight from Yamaha’s R-series, with a twin-LED headlamp setup that looks like it’s ready to pounce. The sculpted 5.5-litre fuel tank and split-style footboard scream sporty intent, while the step-up seat adds a touch of maxi-scooter swagger. Colors like Racing Blue, Grey Vermillion, Metallic Black, and the Monster Energy MotoGP Edition pop with energy, especially the all-black MotoGP variant with its bold decals. At 126 kg, it’s light yet planted, with 14-inch alloy wheels (110/80 front, 140/70 rear) gripping the road like claws. Yamaha’s eco-friendly paints and local sourcing trim production emissions, so you’re burning rubber without burning the planet.
Engine That Packs a Punch
Pop the throttle, and the Aerox 155’s 155cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC engine roars to life, a direct descendant of the R15 V4’s legendary mill. It churns out 14.75–15 PS at 8000 rpm and 13.9 Nm at 6500 rpm, with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) delivering a punchy mid-range for city sprints and a screaming top end for highway blasts. The V-belt automatic transmission keeps shifts seamless, letting you hit a top speed of 120 km/h without breaking a sweat. At 48.62 kmpl (ARAI-claimed), the 5.5-litre tank stretches to 267 km, saving ₹12,000–₹15,000 yearly at ₹100/litre compared to a 30 kmpl rival. The BS6 Phase 2 engine, E20-compatible, cuts emissions, making every high-speed run a greener thrill. This is a scooter that lives for speed while keeping the air clean.
Handling That Thrills on Turns
The Aerox 155 isn’t just fast—it’s a corner-carving demon built to make every twisty road a playground. Telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks soak up bumps, though the stiff setup (a tweak from the 2021 model) prioritizes sporty handling over plush comfort. At 126 kg, it’s nimble enough to dart through traffic, and the 145mm ground clearance lets you lean into turns without scraping. The 230mm front disc with single-channel ABS and 130mm rear drum brake bite hard, giving you confidence to push the limits, while traction control keeps the rear wheel from spinning out on slick roads. With a 790mm seat height, it’s accessible for most riders, but the upright, sporty stance begs you to lean in and chase the next corner with a grin.
Tech That Fuels Your Ride
This scooter isn’t just about raw speed—it’s got the brains to match the brawn. The 5.8-inch LCD instrument cluster (negative LCD on standard models) lights up with speed, fuel, and trip data, while Y-Connect Bluetooth syncs your phone for calls, SMS alerts, and navigation. Picture blasting through Bengaluru, your screen guiding you to the next turn, all while your playlist keeps the adrenaline pumping. The Version S variant adds a smart key for keyless ignition, proximity unlock, and an answer-back feature to spot your ride in crowded lots. An automatic stop-start system cuts the engine at idle, boosting fuel savings, and LED lights save power while lighting up the night. With 24.5 litres of under-seat storage, you can stash a helmet and more, though the lack of a flat floorboard means no quick bag space up front.
Eco-Friendly Speed Without Compromise
The Aerox 155 proves you can chase thrills without trashing the planet. Its 48.62 kmpl mileage slashes fuel use, cutting CO2 compared to a 30 kmpl scooter—a big deal in cities where air quality hangs by a thread. The stop-start system shaves off idle emissions, and the liquid-cooled engine’s efficiency means less waste, with no messy air-cooling parts to maintain. E20 compatibility ensures cleaner combustion, while Yamaha’s local sourcing for 90% of parts reduces shipping emissions. The lightweight 126 kg frame lowers its overall footprint, and the durable build cuts repair waste over time. This is a sporty scooter that lets you rip through the streets while keeping your eco-conscience clear—a win for speed lovers who care about the earth.
Price That Matches Its Power
Starting at ₹1,50,130 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the Standard variant, the Aerox 155 climbs to ₹1,54,193 for the Version S, with on-road costs in Delhi hitting ₹1,79,295–₹1,84,413. EMIs start at ₹4,971/month with a ₹17,930 downpayment, and low EMI plans make it easier for young riders to jump in. The MotoGP Edition, at ₹1,50,882, adds sporty decals for a few extra bucks. Compared to the Aprilia SXR 160 (₹1,44,000) or Vespa VXL 150 (₹1,49,000), the Aerox’s 15 PS and tech-loaded kit justify the price. Festive deals through Diwali 2025 might toss in cashback or free accessories, so check with dealers. For a 155cc scooter with this much performance, the price feels like a green light to ride hard.
Rivals That Feel the Heat
The Aerox 155 isn’t cruising alonein the premium segment:
Aprilia SXR 160 (₹1,44,000): 10.9 bhp, 40 kmpl, stylish but underpowered.
Vespa VXL 150 (₹1,49,000): 10.6 bhp, 45 kmpl, elegant but lacks tech.
Suzuki Burgman Street (₹94,000): 8.6 bhp, 48 kmpl, cheaper but less sporty.
The Aerox’s 15 PS and 48.62 kmpl outgun the SXR 160 and VXL 150, while its Y-Connect tech and traction control leave the Burgman in the dust. It’s the segment king for performance and style.
Challenges on the Speedy Path
The Aerox 155 isn’t flawless—there are bumps in the road. The stiff suspension, while great for sporty handling, can jolt you on rough city streets, a common grumble on X posts. The lack of a flat floorboard means you can’t stash bags up front, a practicality miss for commuters. Real-world mileage might dip to 42 kmpl on highways (Web ID 10), so plan your fuel stops for long sprints. The 5.5-litre tank feels small for a performance scooter—riders might wish for more range. And while the Version S’s smart key is a win, the base model’s LCD screen can be hard to read in bright sunlight. Still, for a scooter built to thrill, these are just pit stops on the road to glory.
Who’s It Built For
This scooter’s for the speed demons—riders who crave the rush of a 155cc engine, who live for the growl of a sporty exhaust and the thrill of triple-digit speeds. It’s for young urbanites wanting a maxi-scooter with superbike vibes, eco-conscious commuters needing 48.62 kmpl efficiency, and style junkies who’d rather stand out than blend in. The 790mm seat height suits shorter riders, and the tech appeals to connected thrill-seekers. It’s not for those prioritizing practicality or long-distance comfort, but if you’re chasing dynamic rides in the city or on open roads, the Aerox 155 is your match.
