Yamaha has powered the Aerox 155 by the  sourced liquid-cooled 155cc single-cylinder engine. However, it’s detuned and makes 14.95PS. On the other hand, the SR 160 employs a 160cc air-cooled motor that belts out 11.01PS and 11.6Nm.

Feature-wise, the Japanese 155cc scooter gets LED illumination, a fully digital instrument cluster and provisions for smartphone connectivity too. Meanwhile, the Aprilia SR 160 is pretty plain-jane and gets a semi-digital instrument cluster with no connectivity features. 

The Aerox 155 is sprung on a telescopic fork and twin rear shocks whereas the Aprilia SR 160 gets a telescopic fork and single rear shock. 

Braking hardware for the Yamaha scooter consists of a front disc and a rear drum brake. The Italian scooter gets disc brakes at both ends with single-channel ABS as standard. 

Both the scooters roll on 14-inch alloys.

The Yamaha Aerox 155 gets a 5.5-litre fuel tank whereas the Aprilia SR 160 gets a 6-litre fuel tank capacity.
