Yamaha launched the 2020 iteration of the Aerox 155 scooter in Indonesia.

The front end comprises a split, full-LED headlamp housed in a sharp front fascia. Moreover, the side profile looks sleek but the Aerox 155 offers a seemingly large single-piece seat. And Yamaha is offering the scooter in a choice of four colours with sporty graphics.
