Yamaha Aerox 155 — Overview

The Yamaha Aerox 155 is a scooter available at a price range of Rs. 1,41,057 - Rs. 1,44,077 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 4 colours. It is powered by a 155 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a expert reported mileage of 46 kmpl. With front disc and rear drum brakes, the Yamaha Aerox 155 comes with anti-locking braking system. The Aerox 155 scooter weighs 126 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 5.5 liters. It develops a power output of 14.75 bhp and a torque of 13.9 Nm.

At Rs 1,43,120, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is the most technically ambitious scooter you can buy in India right now - and it knows it. A 155cc liquid-cooled engine with VVA technology, a 24.5-litre underseat boot, full-LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity, and a maxi-scooter stance that turns heads on every road from Koramangala to NH44.

The numbers tell a compelling story: 14.75 bhp, 13.9 Nm, a tested top speed of 115 km/h, and 40 kmpl ARAI mileage. But what the spec sheet can't capture is how the Aerox feels - punchy off the line, planted in corners, and genuinely capable on long highway stretches. Riders have documented 1,800 km Bangalore-to-Pune touring runs on it without complaint. That's not scooter territory - that's motorcycle behaviour in a CVT body.

There's a catch, of course. The rear suspension is firm enough to rattle your fillings on Mumbai's broken roads. There's no usable floorboard space - the fuel tank spine runs right through the centre. And while two people can technically sit on it, you'd be doing your pillion no favours. The Aerox 155 is best understood as a solo-rider's machine that happens to be shaped like a family scooter.

Two variants are on sale: the Standard at Rs 1,43,120 and the Version S at Rs 1,46,120. The Rs 3,000 premium on the S buys you a Smart Key with Answer Back function and a Traction Control System - a genuinely worthwhile upgrade for most buyers.

Yamaha Aerox 155 Latest Updates

View all

  • Yamaha raised ex-showroom prices of the Aerox 155 range by Rs 2,800 effective 7 May 2026, citing rising logistics and input costs. Post-hike prices in Delhi: Aerox 155 Standard at Rs 1,43,120 and Version S at Rs 1,46,120 - no mechanical or feature changes accompanied the revision.

  • Yamaha applied a Rs 620 ex-showroom price increase to both Aerox 155 variants effective 1 April 2026, the first revision of the new financial year. The Standard moved from Rs 1,39,700 to Rs 1,40,320 and the Version S from Rs 1,42,700 to Rs 1,43,320 in Delhi.

What We Like

  • Best-in-segment engine - the 155cc liquid-cooled VVA unit delivers exhilarating performance and a tested top speed of 115 km/h, outrunning every scooter in its price class
  • Sporty maxi-scooter design with twin LED headlights and a muscular X-spine stance that genuinely turns heads across demographics
  • Class-leading 24.5L underseat storage swallows an XL full-face helmet plus an office bag - more practical than the sporty image suggests
  • Rich feature set for the price: Y-Connect Bluetooth app, keyless ignition (Version S), TCS (Version S), single-channel ABS, full LED lighting, and USB charging port all standard

What Could Be Better

  • Stiff rear suspension is the most common owner complaint - the unit swing arm tuning is too firm for potholed Indian city roads and causes lower back pain on longer commutes
  • No usable floorboard space - the central spine housing the fuel tank eliminates any room between the legs, making grocery runs or carrying a bag uncomfortable
  • Poor pillion ergonomics - the raised tail section, thin seat, and stiff rear suspension make it a genuinely uncomfortable second seat for anyone riding more than a few kilometres

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Yamaha Aerox 155?

The Aerox 155 is the right bike if you want the most performance per rupee in the scooter segment - nothing else under Rs 1.5 lakh hits 115 km/h, holds corners this well, or has a boot this large. But it demands compromises: the suspension will frustrate daily city riders, and it's an honest solo machine. If you commute mostly on highways or decent roads, ride solo, and want a scooter that doubles as a weekend thrills machine, the Aerox 155 is the only answer in this segment. Pick the Version S - the Rs 3,000 premium for TCS and Smart Key is worth every rupee.

QDoes the Yamaha Aerox 155 have ABS?▾
Yes, single-channel ABS is standard on both variants of the Yamaha Aerox 155 - the STD and the Version S. The ABS works on the front 230mm disc brake. The Version S additionally includes Traction Control System (TCS) that prevents rear-wheel spin during aggressive acceleration.
QWhat is the EMI for the Yamaha Aerox 155?▾
On a 36-month loan at 9.7% interest with no down payment, the Aerox 155 STD works out to approximately Rs 4,776 per month. A 20% down payment of around Rs 28,624 reduces the EMI to approximately Rs 3,820 per month over 36 months.

The first service is due at 1,000 km or 30 days, the second at 4,000 km, and subsequent services every 3,000 km thereafter. Standard oil change services cost Rs 800-1,200 at Yamaha dealerships, with major services including consumables typically between Rs 1,500-2,500.
QIs the Yamaha Aerox 155 good for daily commuting?▾
The Aerox 155 is a capable commuter on well-maintained roads but its firm rear suspension makes it uncomfortable on potholed city surfaces over extended daily use. Riders reporting lower back pain from Mumbai and Hyderabad city commutes is a recurring pattern in owner reviews. On highways and cleaner roads it is an excellent daily machine.
QIs the Yamaha Aerox 155 suitable for pillion riding?▾
The Aerox 155 is not ideal for regular pillion riding. The raised tail section, narrow rear seat, stiff unit swing arm suspension, and awkward mounting due to the step-up design make it uncomfortable for passengers on anything beyond short distances. It is best treated as a solo commuter with occasional pillion capability.
