Let's find out if the additional 3.9PS and 2.3Nm make the Aerox 155 any better than the SR 160 Race in the real world
Let's find out if the additional 3.9PS and 2.3Nm make the Aerox 155 any better than the SR 160 Race in the real world
In September last year, we witnessed the launch of the Yamaha Aerox 155; and just a month later, Aprilia also introduced the updated version of the SR160. While on paper there's a slight difference in the power figures of both the scooters, let's find out how they fare in the real world.
Acceleration:
The Yamaha Aerox 155 is powered by a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, YZF-R15-derived engine that puts out 15PS at 8,000rpm and 13.9Nm at 6,500rpm, which is 3.9PS and 2.3Nm more than what the Aprilia SR160 Race makes. The difference isn’t surprising considering the Aerox’s heart is much more sophisticated than the SR160 Race’s air-cooled engine. While we talk about straight-line acceleration, the weight of the two-wheelers also plays a vital role. However, even after weighing 8kg more than the SR160, the Aerox 155 has performed better. As you can see, the SR160 has come pretty close to the Aerox 155 in the 0-40kmph acceleration test, and that's largely because of its weak low-end grunt.
Roll-On Acceleration:
Though the SR160's engine delivers the peak power and peak torque quite early, the Aerox 155 has still managed to perform better in the roll-on test. A few more horses have helped the Aerox 155 here as well. The Aerox also has the advantage of VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) tech that ensures a strong midrange grunt.
Fuel Efficiency:
Surprisingly, even after weighing less and putting out lesser power and torque, the Aprilia SR160 has still failed to perform better than the Yamaha Aerox 155 in our mileage test. The SR160 also gets a bigger 6-litre fuel tank, as compared to the 5.5-litre unit on the Aerox 155.
Yamaha Aerox 155 User Reviews
- Yamaha Aerox 155The scooter is amazing. Great performance and good mileage as well was getting around 35 kmpl in city. Great handling and high-speed stability with good breaks. Everything is good but the scooter is not suitable for tall riders. The boot could fit an entire full-face helmet inside as well along with space to keep a jacket as well.Read More4

- Good scooty with lots of flaws to be correctedBecause of its performance. It looks good. It has a good pickup and the balance is also very good. The agility is also decent. And the engine is super refined. And it stands out in its competition easily. I have a mixed experience with this bike. The battery got dead in just 6000 km. I had to replace the battery. The issue with the rear rim was the worst. The socket in which the rim fits it got loose and when i went to the service centre, they didn't come up with the solution. The front suspension is so hard that you can't even take small pots on the road. And the fit and finish can be much better. The rear break is week. If the road condition is very good and millage is not an issue and someone who wants a scooter which can deliver power and has a good road presence can consider it. But personally I would not purchase again this scooter.Read More6 7
- Yamaha Aerox dashing review.I choose this because of the muscular looks and the bulkiness. I love the muscular looks specially this Yamaha Aerox. And the feel when you ride this giant scooter on road everyone see this like how a scooter looks like this muscular. Ride is comfortable and smooth braking system. And specially the disc is so much good that you just put your fingers on the brake and it stop immediately. And the comfortness of the back rider is also good. Yes who need a muscular body type scooty obviously go for it blind foldy. You get a smooth experience when your ride it on road. And the boot space is also huge you can store many things including helmet also.Read More2 1
- yamaha aerox 155 Reviewi choose this bike because it looked good , i specifically liked the red and black combo , the red wheels looks amazing and i liked the styling of the scooter, mileage was also amazing like other scooters. The ride is amazing i have went many places in this scooter with my friend and we have yet not faced any major issue during the ride we took it off road to jungle road also but everything was fine specifically the suspensions better as compared to other scooters in market . i think students should buy this its a little rough and tough it looks good has a good pickup has a decent storage space and finally gives a good milage and it does not make any loud sounds during the start so you can easily take it out for night outs.Read More12 10
