- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- The Yamaha Aerox 155 is a big scooter by Indian standards. But with big numbers comes bigger expectations. One of them is touring abilities, especially because of the maxi-scooter tag being attached to it. Just like with the Aprilia SXR 160, but the Aerox makes more power, and has VVA. So, Shumi went out on the Aerox 155 to find out if it can tour.

Hey #PDArmy, where would you take the Aerox if you had it for a week? Comment below, and do give the video a Like if you enjoyed it!
Yes yes YESSS!!!
Brilliant content as always PD... How much will you rate the Burgman for its touring and highway capabilities on a scale of 10??? Awaiting your response

@PowerDrift can we talk about the new Ninja SX with radar features.

I wouldn't mind the fuel tank size really, a 5ltr with 42-45kmpl is equivalent of a 12ltr 15-20kmpl. Other than that, for a general college going kid who skips classes for small touring on Activa, this is a great upgrade.
Love how accurate this is. Thats all the touring we do
No it is not that practical as we think, they say it's 5 ltr but for fuel pump you need to have atleast 1.5 ltr in your tank... That's means the actual tank capacity becomes 3.5 , according to my experience with grazia bs6 I have to fill it every 120 kms so for aerox it might be 90 - 100 kms for next fillup
@@user-bl4mp5vm9c i will fill 150 kms once
@@raaja9816 150 km in one fuelup is not possible in a scooter of 125 cc having a tank of 5 ltr in which even if you have 2 ltrs left the meter will show last line that too blinking , and companys do it on a purpose not to harm fuel pump, so aerox with 155 cc will go 100kms or less from fulltank to last line blinking.
@@user-bl4mp5vm9c i have aerox
Shumi getting happy just by fitting 20 litre bag in dikki, Meanwhile Guy at 2:08 fitting his whole shop in front of Ntorq 😆
😀🔥
Eagle eyes bruh 🔥
Aerox can definitely do touring. There are a lot of people who tour on Ntorq. If Ntorq can, Aerox definitely can.
Yes
Yes right
Some tour even on bicycle! It's the will should be greater than the skill.
Aerox is a beast, there's no way it can't do touring, don't listen to their opinion, this scooter is popular as sky in the entire south east Asia and they take it to the extreme
Is ntorq fit for touring?
Hi guys. Anyways, as one person put it perfectly and I'd quote Phil collen from Def Leppard, " it's not about which guitar you use and which Amp you use. It is the intention that matters". He also wrote a fantastic line in his book " I've changed every luxury car out there and splurged money. Then I've realized it is not about the car, rather its about the memories associated and I've been using my BMW x3 for more than 12 years".
This is true. I've done long tours on my 2013 Honda aviator (60k kms already) than fancy bikes. It is 8hp at peak power. Maximum 80kmph but that's just asking too much and it gobbles petrol. Sweetspot is 60kmph. I've driven on horrible roads in my state telangana, went to karnataka etc. Just last month rode 515kms in a day (spiritual trip to kaleshwaram, 272 kms from Hyderabad) and back home safe.
Wonderful memories. That's all it matters.
The village man's swag during corners shoot was another level 👌 😁😅🤟
I too notice that touch of authenticity
I m the owner of of aerox 155.. the back suspension is hard and with road undulations you will feel it.. i changed it to the genuine gas filled suspension and the ride quality improved miles ahead.. now it is superb.. i wondered why yamaha has not launched the aerox with that gas filled suspension as standard..
we have the gas rear shock in malaysia.. only the first version does not have it
How much did the gas filled suspension cost?
@@deepaknatarajan9296 17k i think
Glad atlast someone said it.... Not any reviews on it on youtube... Not even by any reknown channels.. But a user giving review on updated shocks is more gennuine to hear..
Wanted to know if it was worth17k.. Now i may also upgrade to that....
Where did you get the gas filled suspension? Any link?
Can't say 5 litre is a negative because of Fuel Economy. Because 40+ on high rpms, 45+ on average conditions and 50km/l on highways is pretty descent. Because with that kind of mileage 5 litre fuel tank will not be a problem.
Good thing about this is wifey/GF can ride along with our byke on road trip 👍👍 bonus is it can double up as grocery workhorse at home as well !!! Newbies look for this and rest stick to activas etc !!
Yeahh let the roads become more atractive 🔥😍
True, wife's and girl friends find it easier to use that a motorcycle with gear.
Touring on a scooter is absolutely possible. I know a guy who regularly (& religiously the guy was an ascetic). Almost a decade ago I was at a friend/relative's place for a function and one of his cousin's came. That guy was starting his almost yearly tour of India in a TVS Wego IIRC. He was featured at least in Kerala news when he reached at the venue of a yaga at Bhadrachalam, AP on his way back from Himalayas. This was in 2012.
How can we forget Lakshay from BTR who did Delhi to Bombay, Delhi to Leh and many other on a TVS Jupiter 110.
Also The guys at XBHP who did a whole India ride on TVS Ntorq 125 running next to Kawasaki H2 ,Triumph Rocket 3 and many other super bikes!!
It's all about if someone can and wants to do it. Every two-wheeler can do more than you ask from it. Do check this one : ua-cam.com/video/gI-wcuVvOs0/v-deo.html
Large capacity 7.5 liter tank available in Malaysian and Indonesian markets, also loads of performance accessories and mods parts
Yes some also selling 8.2 lit tank
I owned ntorq for 2 years. I just rented and rode Aerox for 2 days. I would say ntorq is just barely better than any other scooter in the segment.
But Aerox is just next level when it comes to perforrmance. You feel the difference in pull and the increased comfort of bigger wheels. It feels like riding a bike rather than scooter. Also, the engine is silky smooth. No scratching type starting sound of scooter. Vibration is also non existant. It feels like an electric scooter. Ordinary scooters seems like crying for power with their tiny engines but Aerox feels like the perfect optimal level of power a scooter must have to not cry.
Practiciality maybe better with ntorq, but everything else Aerox is best. I loved riding it. Only thing I missed is the lack of hand-brake on Aerox and also lack of "lower dipped" headlight switch. I also missed the ability to keep foot properly
A motorcycle performance , easy to drive , good mileage. , Good suspension , lot of storage , big wheels , wonderful look , refined v3 engine it's really good
Finally, the review we been waiting for. I would say this is a near sweet tourer scooter. What I need is better fuel capacity, suspension setup, and duel channel ABS. The braking is a weak point of this Scooter, and for highways I rather wait (and pray) for an upgrade. Also, request Powerdrift team to review the suspension upgrade option of Aerox, especially for touring need, and if it's worth a 17k upgrade.
true absolutely... actually the rear brack is seems weak
theres honda click/varis 160 abs but india will never get
Although I haven't ridden a whole assortment of bikes or scooters, I can most definitely say that Yamaha has the most joyful handling among everything that's out there. Even the Ray ZR has turn-in and handling that no other scooter does.
In Mizoram, all the roads are like you talked about, it drinks petrol like a fool, you won't like that in the long term 😂
Different channels should learn the art of perfection from PowerDrift... Just the right amount of humour.. just the right amount of technicalities, just the right shots, just the right length of video, just the right amount of bloopers and most of all... Just the right people to review the vehicles.. ❤️
This is an art rarely found.. kudos to all the members of the team for coming up with something so well consistently..
My lml from 1997 had a 7 letter tank and returned 50kmpl. And was a 150 cc 2 stroke. Didn't go past 100 but oh the memories.
I see you are a man of culture🙌
@@Moto_Maniac_46 😁😁
YAMAHA did IT, ¡¡¡¡BEST SCOOTER EVER!!! 😎🥳🔥 YES YAMAHA
My 4 y/o Aerox 155 tour just fine. Longest trip I did so far is around 190 km + 250 km the next day
This video was highly needed. Thank you PD 😊🙏
Anyone craving for a track day vlog by shumi/powerdrift ?
Another impeccable review from the great shumi 👏
The Yamaha Aerox in India... We just can't get enough of it 💙
It's been two months . I still can't believe this is a scooter. 👍
Same review should be made for the new Aprilia 160
We shall try for that Adhiraj!
Even if possible would be helpful for SXR 160
please review the after market suspension set up
Trying to get it since it's launch but not available in all states. And now out of stock on yamaha website. Only available on youtube. 😑
Do a comparo with burgman for touring. I have been touring on scooters for quite some time and by far the best bet has been burgman for me. Great mileage (60+kmpl on highways)
Extended Legroom
Can swallow large luggage bags.
Does feel a bit underpowered sometimes but enough for a scooter.
I was quite surprised how well it handled bumpy country roads as well. And VFM
its funny when a guys with 80,000 rupees helmet says, "100 bucks, here we come" 😅
Most awaited video. At least for me!!
When I was getting a bike in July, at one point of time, I thought of getting this, but then after analysing few points I went for xpulse 200 4v!!
They both are same on road, i.e., ₹1.65 lacs
@2:08 Ntorq with load. Was that planned. haha
Purely a co-incidence! We promise!
Good one as usual !
I just wished aerox didn't have the hump .. Else it'll be such a beauty! the only reason I didn't go for aerox was the hump.
Front and back both Suspension are stiff. Engine is smooth like butter but the you will get backpain and headache for sure unless you upgrade the both suspensions.
Hi
.I'm a big fan of your reviews..and I actually bought the aerox after seeing your video. I needed one suggestion.if I were to install a bigger tyre on my aerox front and rear..how much would be the acceptable size to go upto? Stock being 110 and 140...if I put 120 and 150. ?nothing too big.please give your opinions
The new Metallic Black color of Aerox looks lit 🔥
I can't wait to Ride this Beast .........but unfortunately can't afford. ................
Sir what about back pain ? Generally when we ride scoters back pain will come, then what about aerox?
₹100 ke liye ₹1000 ka petrol fuk dia 🤣🔥
Hi, Just a query.. Fuel Efficiency mentioned 42.26 on Highway and 48.62 in City, how it is possible that on Highway low efficiency compare to city or it is like that only..
How one can be part of this team
Please teach your viewers to ride like you do
TWO FINGERS ALWAYS ON THE BRAKES. will be very helpful to us all.
He did. Check out his video on braking. Also, it comes with practice. I always do that. There is a video on another channel (American) as to the throttle response. I had accidents due to panic braking on my Honda aviator while I was figuring out and Hyderabad city roads (idiotic traffic sense). I understood my scooter now. It's a charm. 2 fingers on front brake, 2 on the combi brake I.e. on the left side. With bikes, you need all 4 fingers for clutch I guess. With scooters, 2 fingers on the left side are enough (depending on situation). But on the right side, 2 fingers are a must. I know some ride with middle finger only. Hope it helps. 🍻
@@dr.ananthakrishnavemuri733 some ride with holding only the throttle with 5 fingers and cant brake in a drastic situation🤣🤣
@@arko966 Absolutely true brother. I was taught this 2 finger technique by my friend way back in 2007 (when I did not even own a bike. I was in my undergrad then). It all happens in split seconds. if all 5 fingers (entire palm) is on the throttle, then braking becomes a deadly proposition. Within a fraction of a second, the wrist position should change and it is impossible physically to do that. I have a habit of learning things through observation both in the city and on the highway. What you've said is true. Most women and some men do this and face consequences. I see this all the time.
@@dr.ananthakrishnavemuri733 The people riding with middle finger only don't give a f***
@@dr.ananthakrishnavemuri733 how come no one taught me this. It just came as an instinct to me since I bought my first scooter.
Just bought one, and man I regret nothing ❤
Did you get the INR 100?
Of course! Varun’s good with bets
Aerox doing 42-48kmpl, my 2012 honda dio has that! Worth the upgrade?
What would be the top speed on highway?
I think I saw 117 but not sure. Check Zigwheels once
@@shu_mar somewhere I observed 115 anyway one can cruise between 80-100 😎
Good video, just one question.....
If we install KYB suspension provider by Yamaha accessories, will the ride quality change to comfort from being stiff.
Yess... One of the comments had it said
@@adityanrvarier7406 hey if u own aerox, is it worth buying, i own continental gt 650 and due to harsh posture, i m looking for a touring bike....Xpulse 200 4v and Aerox is in my radar, what do u think is right for highway touring??
Hi Shumi sir and powerdrift i have a doubt regarding aeroxx additional suspension last week I bought one but bit dilemma on additional suspension whether to buy or not or how will be a difference than the old one coming with the bike please here no one has bought new suspension so have no idea how it performs in indian roads thanks pls reply if you have time sir
I am 6.1 feet height my knew will touch the front panel?
❤️❤️❤️ PowerDrift
Hay, anyone know tha location of twisty road shown here? I want to go there.
Just completed 5000 kms on this...had to change the rear shocks with Yamaha Gas Shocks for a better on the highways
What has the upgrade been?
Sorry got distracted by the lean angles Shumi was pulling off in the corners.
nice selection of music (y)
fun fact : Varun not only owns but also tour on aerox
All the best ❤❤❤❤ Bike
How come city mileage is more than highway mileage
I bought it finally. Exchanged my CBR 250R for this..
When will it be on sale in Mumbai?
Do yamaha xmax 300 2022 v2 pls
Does this scooter fit a 6 feet rider without hitting the knees
bro even i have an aerox ....i actually test a lot of 2 wheelers so ill give u a rough idea to improve your PURCHASE DECISION
if u want a day to day scooty with comfort: Activa/jupiter
day to day scooty with speed: ntorq
day to day scooty with comfort speed and a big size : burgman
a sports bike in a body of a scooty for highways and smooth roads: aerox
i wont reccomend aprrilia scooters as they are overpriced and underperforming
also i would say if u are spending above 1.2 lakhs on a scooty then pls just buy a bike like apache rtr 1604v or depending upon your needs
ALSO!! REVOLT RV400 IS A BEST BUY EV WITH SPEED COMFORTS LOOKS BUILD SAFE AND RANGE IS AWESOME
Whether Varun has given you 100 rs? छोड़ना मत.
Those rear suspension are too far?
Yamaha doing something new again
Location please???
So, did you get your 100 bucks ?
I'm waiting Aerox 125
Ur review really rocks
SIR TOP SPEED OF THE AEROX. AND ALL DAY LONG CRUSHING SPEED I ALREADY BOOKED MOTO GP EDITION PL DO REPLY
Will this give the satisfaction of driving a 150cc motorcycle?
Hey,
Is Yamaha planning to give a softer suspension.
I would love to buy one... But holding back due to stiff suspension set up.
If I buy it then, I will be using it in city only.,.. Not for touring purpose....
Hope it will offered with a softer suspension in the near future....
You can upgrade to kyb shocks from dealership itself
@@adityanrvarier7406 have your tried it? Will ride become softer?
So shumi spent atleast Rs.600/- to win Rs.100/- bet 😂😂😂. Jokes apart great video team. If shumi is there I will watch it 😅
It is obvious this scooter won't sell in decent numbers. It would stand as an option for the few takers at the Yamaha stables. XSR155 was a big expectation here & they felt it won't do good in sales & did not bring it. But then they brought Aerox thinking it wud sell... funny...!
Arreh, headlights kaisa hai ... woh toh bateyi nahi
Does a helmet fit in the boot
So did Shumi get the 100 from Mr. Painter ?
Reveal the location bro..
Don’t go for this until yamaha improves the suspension of this scooter as it’s impossible to ride in city. You might end up with back issues as many did
I was refused a test-ride.(AEROX 155)
Reality Check!!!
As of now September 24, 2023.
still more than a year since the launch of Aerox-155, There is availability issue and 6-7 months waiting period on Aerox 155 😂. Not only that due to this shortage, as well as long waiting, the price showroom quoted was also a lot more.... I was quoted 1.79-1.8. So yeah, in reality, Aprilia is your only and best option, unless you are reallllly into Yamaha, want to spend that high for lesser practicality, ride comfort and yet wait so long eventually bumping price again.
Oh wait, did I mentioned, I was refused a test-ride as well??? so you will spend almost 2 lakhs based on on-paper spec and just video reviews.
Good luck getting this!!
Can it?
The real question is, would you? ;)
Awesome
Thank you! :D
This puts the Yamaha FZ to shame
....same tyre size....more power....more torque...
Definitely good as compared to sr160
Better than it
At 2:07 , the petrol pump scene.... We can find what N torq can do better than aerox😂😂😂 carrying stuffs on the foot bed....
Brother ,but did you got the 100 bucks?
Need to sell my Ntorq now for this Scooter 🛵 😅
City 48 and highway 42 ??? Ahh how ?
"Sasta ka sasti he rehega & tu baith k apne chasma aur juto se khel "
He replied " a haan "
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything said and done. DID HE GAVE U THAT 100/- RUPEES OR NOT SHUMI??? 🤔
My next Goal ## Yamaha Aerox
Irocks
Bruh😂
Haha! Shumi always rocks! :D
That means not a PRACTICAL Scooter 🤷🏻♂️ 😳 🤷🏻
Inshort , Just Another scooter we don't need or want .
Maybe for you, but youd be surprised how people have already booked it. Means there are people who want it, if not need it
@@apolloxlix679 no wonder we dont have the xsr 150
Nice scooter but definitely not for tall people
i disagree with this review of scooter. It will be sensible if your team can make more practical tests and speaking of Big scooters, what happened to BMW's new scooter review ?
Pr ismai aata or lpg cylinder nhi aayega 😂😂😂
