1. Handling, Weight & Cornering Agility

Comparing the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Yamaha NMAX 155 showcases two different philosophies using Yamaha's VVA 155cc engine:

  • Yamaha Aerox 155: Designed as a sport scooter with a lighter 125kg frame, 14-inch wide rear tire, and stiff chassis that loves carving through twisty cliff roads in Uluwatu or Canggu.
  • Yamaha NMAX 155: Built as a touring maxi scooter with feet-forward floorboards, dual shock absorbers, and a larger 7.1-liter fuel tank built for long hours on the road.

2. Trip Suggestions: Which Scooter Should You Choose?

🏎️ Choose the Yamaha Aerox 155 If:

  • • You are a solo rider who wants quick acceleration and sporty cornering.
  • • You love aggressive styling and lightweight 14-inch wheel stability.

🛋️ Choose the Yamaha NMAX 155 If:

  • • You ride with a passenger who needs a wide saddle and sturdy grab rails.
  • • You are taking long day trips to Ubud, Sidemen, or Bedugul.

💡 Fleet Tip

Both VVA 155cc scooters deliver impressive 15.1 HP power. Reserve your bike with free hotel delivery at Nusa Dua Hub!

Safety & Route Recommendations

When driving along Bali's coastal or mountain roads, ensure your scooter is in top technical condition with properly pressurized tires and working dual brakes. We recommend reserving an executive scooter (such as the Honda PCX 160 or Yamaha NMAX 155) for longer island day trips.

lightbulb Insider Tip

Always carry a small stash of 500,000 - 1,000,000 IDR cash for local temple parking fees and local Pertamina fuel stops along rural routes.
