Final Thoughts

Yamaha Aerox is a direct contender to Aprilla SXR 160. Though Aprilla SXR is not as popular as it could be due to its bulkier size and very awkward styling. The two can still be compared with one another.

The Yamaha Aerox 155 when compared is very different from the SXR in many ways.

“The Yamaha Aerox 155 is sportier in style, has eye-catching graphics, and has patented VVA technology. Summing all the features up, Yamaha Aerox seems a better choice than Aprilla SXR”

Now is Yamaha Aerox worth the purchase?

Considering the current road and traffic conditions in the city areas, riding a motorbike or even driving four-wheelers has started to get a lot harder.

Additionally, people tend to carry a lot of goods for their day-to-day work or other purposes, so having a scooter that has a good amount of power and is capable of getting goods from place to place, while also looking stylish can be a plus point for a lot of younger generation people as well as the old alike.

So, as an ending note, the new Yamaha Aerox 155 is indeed worth the price when compared to other scooters in its range. The scooter has the power and the looks to back the pricing up.
