The scooter continues to get the same technical specifications as before. A 155 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with variable valve timing that makes 14.75 bhp at 8,000 rpm along with 13.9 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The engine is OBD-2 and E20 compliant as well. Handling and dynamics go with the sporty personality of the scooter, thanks to the big 14-inch wheels but where the Aerox 155 loses out is the ride quality, which is tuned more for sporty handling than outright comfort.

The Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S will be exclusively available at Blue Square showrooms, in two colour schemes - Silver & Racing Blue. It goes up against the Aprilia SXR 160 in India.
