Aerox is a king of 150-160cc scooter segment.. I have one here in PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 . And I use it for long rides like 500km to 1300km . No complaint no issues.. just upgrade the fuel tank and go for long rides .

I am basically the 1st ntorq owner in my entire municipality, the attention it gained when I bought that was insane and no ntorq owner would never get that,

[vikraminfive]

Imagine what TVS can do now with an NTroq 165, with the Apache's engine. Or just Go CRAZY with NTroq 200 4V 😉

Schumi is ❤️

About the scooters, well, NTorq is the best scooter in terms of marriage between practicality & fun. It appeals to the mind and heart both. 👍

However Aerox is something you just can’t ignore. Purely appeals to the heart and how 🥰

I bought a Ntorq squard edition I never regret purchasing one its more then what I expected loved the scooter.

I have a 1st generation Aerox 155, and i love it in every way, plus its arguably just as good looking, if not better then the 2nd generation in my opinion. While they cleverly stuck with a slight evolution to this iconic design, i feel the headlights (the eyes) of the 1st Gen were much nicer in shape and proportion to the overall design.
Never the less, the Aerox (1st & 2nd gen) is clearly the only scooter out of all, that has motorcycle qualities in design, build, handling and performance.  
Yamaha has built the best looking and sportiest scooter in this segment the world over. This is what Aprilia should be producing, instead of an SR160 that is still based on the old basic Piaggio Typhoon scooter. 
Remember the sports 50cc segment with Yamaha Aerox 4 vs Aprilia SR50R vs Gilera Runner SP ....they were all clearly the best, (and particularly for Yamaha and Aprilia), exclusive stand alone models in the 50cc class....these would be the pride & joy of aspiring young MotoGP loving teenagers in Europe.
Now Yamaha has replicated this brilliance in the sports 150cc class, with a Flagship Aerox 155, and it clearly stands head and shoulders above anyone else.
The Aerox 155 has become a legend already, and even features its own race series in some of the Asian markets.
The Aerox ROCKS!!! and REVS your HEART!!!.

Aerox is undisputed for inter-district OR inter-state Travel!!!🤑💥🔥

[dannysilvester]

Lol. Loved the "Reverse Stig" kinda reference where he doesn't stop talking. 😂. Shumi is 🔥

As always, amazing vid guys.

[paramchavan]

As an NTorq Race XP owner, this makes me very happy as I took delivery a day before the Aerox was launched, which I would've bought instead.

[tanmayrgup]

What a fun and humurous way of doing reviews. Why is this style not seen more often. Nothing beats a review that combines with entertainment. Kudos to you guys

[wanphrangwanswett]

Riding an Aerox is my best experience and the acceleration it gives, it's nothing comparable to it

[kurushx]

I just got a Aerox 3 months ago - It scores 10/10 on following points : Silent engine - best refinement seen so far, best in handling & ease of riding on city roads, confidence booster on highways(does not wobble between two trucks .... hahaha), best in milage, ample of under seat storage, best looks & design, sexy sticky tyres. The only place where it dissapoints a bit is the suspension - which can be managed by replacing the shocks (just ordered RCB rear gas shocks from Malaysia). Infact it can take on any 150-200 cc bike in a mile run, gracefully.

After seeing ntorq as the winner i cried! I am a proud owner 🔥🇮🇳

[mytubestar]

I love the chemistry between Zehan and Arun and how they bring about the comparo between the scooters.

About the scooters,
Ntorq - I knew it would come on top. TVS is killing it.

Aerox - Such a sporty scooter. Can't believe I'm saying this about a scooter.

SXR160 - I had such high hopes for this one. Looks killer and comfy. But it seems there are comfier scooters than this.

450X - What a revelation. It'd definitely kill the scene if the range issues aren't there anymore.


Great comparo, fantastic choice of music and memes. I'd love to see more of this soon.

[KOKONAGAMI]

Aerox is way way ahead of the lots to beat it other brand has to bring in something which can turn us all wow

[venukrithish]

Yeah ntorq makes most sense especially after comparing the prices

[HKB]

Wow!

the cinematography added so much to the video

[adityamalvankar]

Please make hill climb tests often since it helps us to understand how the torque is 👍🏽 (including pillion 😬)

[EternalInfinity]

Looking at the signature orange arai helmet i knew it would be shumi
Good Collaboration..very well done!

[bohemiansoul]

Maxi scooters are more They block major part of scorching heat waves in summer, block debris splashes in rain and block nerve freezing winds in winter from your toe to And you reach neat and clean and safe to your destination even in extreme weathers. A mature advice. 😌
