- The Yamaha Force 2.0 is priced at an equivalent of Rs 2.66 lakh.
- Comes with an updated liquid-cooled engine with traction control, Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), and silent starter.
- Compared to its predecessor, it gets a lighter frame and a redesigned bodywork.
- Yamaha is unlikely to launch the scooter in India as the domestic market already has the Yamaha Aerox 155.
Yamaha has launched the Force 2.0 in Taiwan, the successor to the Force maxi-style scooter. The new scooter is priced at TWD 99,000, which translates to around Rs 2.66 lakh. In comparison, the previous-gen Force was launched in Taiwan at an equivalent of Rs 3.34 lakh. Interestingly, Yamaha offers both versions of the scooter in the country as of now.
For the Version 2.0, Yamaha has made several changes to this maxi-style scooter. The bodywork now looks much sleeker thanks to the redesigned apron. The side panels look much sportier with the signature ‘A’ shaped element. The twin halogen headlights look sleeker, and the batarang-like tail lamp has been replaced with a simpler straightline unit. It also gets a redesigned 5.1-inch boxy LCD instrument cluster. There’s no smartphone connectivity, though.
More importantly, Yamaha has employed an updated 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It now gets Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, traction control system, and even a silent starter. While Yamaha hasn’t revealed the power figures, we reckon it makes as much as the India-spec Yamaha Aerox 155, which produces 15PS and 13.9Nm. In addition to the new tech, the engine also seems to be more efficient than its predecessor, offering a claimed mileage of 44.9kmpl as opposed to 36.8kmpl in the older model.

The new engine also sits inside a new chassis, claimed to be 27 percent lighter than before. It also does away with a rear monoshock setup, and uses a twin preload-adjustable suspension layout instead. The front end continues with a telescopic fork. Thanks to the new frame, the overall wheelbase has gone down from 1405mm to 1340mm. Yamaha has also revised the single-piece seat with a flatter but taller unit. It’s now 815mm tall as opposed to the 805mm unit in its predecessor.
Brakes and tyres are the same as before, though. The scooter rolls on 13-inch wheels wrapped with 120-section front and 130-section rear Maxxis tyres, and are anchored by a 267mm front and a 230mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS.
The scooter is exclusive to the Taiwanese market, so Yamaha is unlikely to bring this one to our shores. The Japanese company already offers the much sportier Aerox 155, launched recently at Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) in the country.
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 More3

- 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 More5 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
