Yamaha Aerox 155

It is the unique design of the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox which makes it a talking point at the very first place. The bulbous body panels do have a sort of edginess which makes the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox look very attractive and flashy.

The frontal view of the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox looks very wide, thanks to the incorporation of stretched dual LED headlamps in the lower part of the apron. The upper and side corners of the headlamps do come with streaks of daytime running LEDs, thus enhancing its flashiness. While the upper middle portion of the front apron sports a piano black applique, the short headlamp cowl sports an angular tinted visor in the center of it.

The side portions of the lower part of the front apron, which flow nicely towards the floorboard separating panel, also come integrated with clear lens blinkers in their front edges. The split floorboard might look compact initially but is roomy enough for even taller riders. This split floorboard extends well towards the beefy body panels on the sides, which become sleeker while moving towards the tail lamp cluster.

The tail lamp cluster of the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox is very minimal, which consists of a very thin LED strip acting as the main tail lamp and is placed just at the top of the rear profile. This tail lamp sits below the large pillion grab rail, which has separate grab handles recessed within it on either side. At the back, the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox gets split clear lens indicators mounted on the rear fender, just like on a motorcycle. The 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox gets a very large and well-contoured seat, under which it hides 24.5 liters of storage space.

There is an additional cubby hole present in the back portion of the front apron, which also features an integrated smartphone charger. The fuel tank lid is also conveniently placed in the middle of the partition of the floorboard. The 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox gets a fancy-looking fully digital instrument console, which shows data of speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, clock, odometer, trip meters, and calls and SMS alert. However, the unit looks a bit small, making all the information on display look cluttered.

Yamaha has shown no compromise in the ride and handling department as well. The scooter wears meaty 110/80-14 tire at the front and 140/70-14 tire at the rear, thus providing ample grip for all kinds of riding conditions. The slightly stiffer setup for the hydraulic telescopic forks at the front and a single-sided coil spring at the back too help in making the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox a tremendous handler, though at the cost of suppleness in the overall ride quality. Braking duties are taken care of by a 230mm disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear.

Yamaha has picked up and returned the four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 155cc engine from the YZF R15 and MT-15 for the 2021 Mio Aerox. Here, this engine is mated to a V-belt transmission and gets variable valve actuation tech, and pumps out 15.4 PS of maximum power and 13.9 Nm of maximum torque, thus making it the most powerful 150cc scooter in the market right now. Definitely, the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox has a spirited engine to match its sporty looks.

This is one scooter that leads the way in its segment when it comes to safety features. While the Standard variant of the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox comes with a key shutter mechanism for ignition keyhole and front disc brake, the more premium S variant adds in a premium kit like keyless ignition and ABS, along with an idling start-stop system to save in some fuel in stop-go traffic conditions.

With all the premium hardware as well as smart urban styling, the 2021 Yamaha Mio Aerox feels every bit a scooter tailor made for this generation of buyers. It feels sporty in every aspect – be its styling, set of features, performance or the riding dynamics.
