Power and performance
The 2020 Yamaha Aerox 155 draws power from a 155cc, single-cylinder engine with variable valve actuation (VVA), which generates 15.36hp of maximum power at 8,000rpm and 13.9Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The mill is mated to a CVT gearbox.
What about safety and suspension setup?
To ensure the rider's safety, the 2020 Yamaha Aerox 155 is equipped with a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear, along with single-channel ABS, for improved handling on the roads. Meanwhile, the suspension duties on the scooter are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a unit swing on the rear end.
How much does it cost?
In Indonesia, the 2020 Yamaha Aerox 155 scooter carries a price-tag of IDR 25.5 million (roughly Rs. 1.29 lakh). However, the premium two-wheeler is unlikely to make its way to India.
