The game changer

Yamaha has the history of launching icons like the RD350, RX100. Then came bikes like the R15 and the FZ-series which once again became icons. Since the launch of the R15 and the FZ, the company has been constantly upgrading the bikes but there was no revolutionary product from the company. Now though, the company has launched a new product which could prove to be another game changer. Enter the Yamaha Aerox 155.

The Aerox 155 then is a rather cool scooter to look at. It comes with a racy front end design. The front apron mimics a bike’s fairing and houses twin LED headlamps complete with DRLs. The Aerox 155 rides on 14in wheels both up front and at the back and it also gets ABS up front. The Aerox 155 comes with a negative display LCD instrument panel. It offers speedo, odo, tell tales and even a fuel gauge. What you also get is twin tachos which look cool too. Yamaha is also offering the company’s Y-Connect Bluetooth suite at an additional cost. But still there is no navigation to boast of.
