The former is available in Matte White Gold and Matte Black Gold shades. Meanwhile, the latter comes in Matte Black Cyan, Black, Dark Gray Yellow, and Red colors. There are no changes to the vehicle's mechanicals and features.
Why does this story matter?
The Yamaha Aerox 155 is a popular maxi-style scooter that offers the perfect balance of good looks and features. By introducing new color options, the brand wants to boost the vehicle's sales in Indonesia. When the new version of the two-wheeler arrives in India, the competition in the market will be raised to a great extent.
The scooter flaunts a single-piece seat and tubeless tires
The Yamaha Aerox 155 sits on an underbone frame and sports a headlamp-mounted front apron, a stepped-up single-piece seat, an upswept exhaust, and arrowhead-shaped mirrors. The scooter packs a digital instrument console, an all-LED setup for lighting, and rides on alloy wheels shod in tubeless tires. It can store 5.5 liters of fuel and tips the scales at 126kg.
It is powered by a 15hp, 155cc engine
The Yamaha Aerox 155 runs on a 155cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke engine with VVA technology, mated to a CVT gearbox. The motor generates a maximum power of 15hp and a peak torque of 13.9Nm.
It gets single-channel ABS
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is equipped with a disc brake on the front wheel, a drum brake on the rear wheel, and single-channel ABS for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the maxi-style scooter are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a unit swing on the rear end.

Yamaha will announce the pricing and availability details of the 2022 Aerox 155 in India at the time of its launch. However, it should carry a premium over the current model, which starts at Rs. 1.3 lakh (ex-showroom).
