First pictures are start to emerging from the various local bike dealers in Singapore of the all-new 2021 Yamaha Aerox 155 Connected! The bike has been given a facelift for 2021 and minor changes around the body as well as a slight boost in the tech.
The previous model Aerox sold in Singapore was not offered in the ABS version and those who wanted the additional safety of ABS had to opt for the NMax instead. For this new version of the Aerox, it will be available in both ABS and non-ABS models but we'll have to wait for the confirmation from the dealers if the ABS model will be reaching our shores.
Being paired with a liquid-cooled, SOHC, single-cylinder engine with variable valve actuation (VVA) displacing 155 cc, the Aerox 155 gets 15.15 hp at 8,00 rpm and 13.9 Nm at 6,500 rpm versus the 14.8 hp at 8,000 rpm and 14.4 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm of the previous generation Aerox 155. Fed by EFI, transmission is automatic and uses a V-belt from the gearbox to the rear wheel.
Fuel is carried in a bigger 5.5-litre tank – 4.6-litres in the previous year’s model – and weight is now 125kg, compared to the 118kg of the previous Aerox 155 with the seat placing the rider 790 mm off the ground. Suspension is with conventional telescopic forks in front and twin remote reservoir shock absorbers in the back, rolling on 110/80-14 and 140/70-14 rubber, front and rear respectively.
Updates to this new Aerox 155 Connected include LED lighting for the head and tail lights with a new twin headlight assembly that features DRLs. Braking is still the same as before, a hydraulic disc brake on the 14-inch front wheel and a mechanical drum brake on the rear wheel, with single-channel ABS.
If you noticed the word "Connected" in its name, that gives a hint to the Aerox being able to work and pair with the Yamaha Y-Connect app just like its sibling the Yamaha NMax Connected. If you're a owner of a 2020 or later Yamaha scooter or motorcycle, chances are that it comes equipped with the required modules for the Yamaha Y-Connect application that for more details, refer to our news articles here:
Other riding comforts include keyless start, hazard lights, engine start-stop and a 25-litre storage compartment under the seat, accessible by a remote locking button. Standard fitment is Yamaha’s Y-Connect app which hooks up with the rider’s smartphone to monitor calls and messages, maintenance schedules, error codes, and last parking location, with the ability to share the information online with other Aerox 155 Connected riders.
What do you think of the latest Yamaha Aerox 155 Connected? This has undoubtedly being one of the most popular bikes in Singapore amongst the delivery riders due to its ease of use, frugality, and low maintenance. Do you like the new design? Let us know in the comments section below!
P.S. The COE as of publication date is S$7,670 which might price this Aerox out of the budget of many entry riders! We'll just have to wait and see where the COE trend will head towards over the next few months.
