Yamaha Aerox 155: Quick, convenient and practical
The Hindu
Zippy in the city and comfortable on the highway — the Aerox 155 is a great choice for a sports scooter
Yamaha has taken a plunge into the unknown by launching a liquid-cooled 155cc sports scooter with a step-through construction — characteristics that are completely alien to India, at least at this end of the market. Will it pay off? We take a spin to find out.
The Aerox is breaking new ground in the scooter segment, not just with a liquid-cooled engine, but also with its design. Its step-through format means that it immediately stands out from the ocean of flat floorboards in India, and while it is a unique form-factor, it is also certain to prove prohibitive for many buyers looking for a more practical machine. Even those not in the market for it will however, find it hard to deny that the Aerox is super cool looking.
Up close, you will find some room for improvement. Certain areas like the switchgear and bodywork look and feel quite nice, especially the double-layered bodywork on either side of the lower apron. Other areas, however, such as the flimsy fuel filler flap and pillion footpegs that do not sit flush against the bodywork, do not quite feel up to the mark. There are also some inconsistent panel gaps and shut lines across the scooter, and Yamaha would do well to tidy up these blemishes, considering the Aerox’s premium position in the market.

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
