Yamaha Mio Aerox 155
The Yamaha Aerox 155 (sold as the Mio Aerox 155 in Southeast Asian markets) was introduced in 2016 as a sporty maxi-scooter targeting young urban riders seeking performance beyond typical 125cc scooters. It was built on Yamaha's BluCore VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) platform, making it one of the first scooters in its segment to feature variable valve timing technology. Its aggressive NVX/Aerox styling and strong 155cc engine helped it become a best-seller in markets like Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.

What Buyers Should Know
VVA Tech Advantage
The Aerox 155 features Yamaha's Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system, which switches between two valve timing modes for both low-end torque and high-end power — rare in scooters at this price point.
Watch the CVT Belt
The CVT belt and roller weights are common wear items that require inspection every 8,000–10,000 km. Neglecting them causes sluggish acceleration and can lead to costly transmission damage.
Strong Resale Value
The Aerox 155 holds resale value well in Southeast Asian markets due to high brand trust and strong parts availability. A well-maintained unit typically retains 70–80% of its value after two years.
