Yamaha Aerox 155 S Launched in India with Smart Key Technology

Yamaha has revamped its popular sport scooter, the Aerox 155, with the introduction of the S variant in India. The key highlight of this new model is the inclusion of a Smart Key system, offering riders a blend of convenience, security, and a touch of modern flair. Let’s delve deeper into the features, specifications, and what this launch signifies for the Indian two-wheeler market.

Smart Key Convenience and Security

The Yamaha Aerox 155 S boasts a Smart Key system, doing away with the traditional key fob. This key allows riders to locate their scooter from afar by activating the blinkers and a buzzer sound. Gone are the days of fumbling for your keys; the Aerox 155 S can be started by simply being in close proximity and turning a knob on the key fob to the “on” position, followed by a push of the starter button. Security is further enhanced by the key’s ability to immobilize the scooter when it’s out of range, deterring potential theft.

Unchanged Performance Specifications

While the Smart Key steals the show, the Yamaha Aerox 155 S retains the same core performance aspects as its standard and MotoGP counterparts. The powerful 155cc, liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology continues to deliver a healthy 14.75 bhp and 13.9 Nm of torque. Handling remains agile with 14-inch alloy wheels, telescopic forks upfront, and a monoshock at the rear. Braking is managed by single discs on both the front and rear wheels. The Aerox 155 S maintains a lightweight profile at 126 kg and offers a 5.5-liter fuel tank for navigating city commutes.

A Step Forward for Sporty Scooters

The Yamaha Aerox 155 S marks a significant step forward for sporty scooters in India. The integration of a Smart Key system elevates the ownership experience, prioritizing convenience and security for riders. While the price tag is slightly higher than the standard and MotoGP variants, the added functionality may be a worthwhile upgrade for those seeking a feature-rich and modern scooter experience. With its sporty design, strong performance, and now, added security features, the Yamaha Aerox 155 S is poised to attract a wider audience in the Indian two-wheeler market.
