Pricing

Let's start with the pricing, because that's something that can make or break the deal. The TVS Ntorq 150 is a bit more affordable, priced at Rs 1.19 lakh (ex-showroom) for the standard variant, while it goes up to Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom) for the TFT variant. On the other hand, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is a bit more costly, priced at Rs 1.51 lakh (ex-showroom) which goes up to Rs 1.54 lakh (ex-showroom) for the S variant. But now the question arises: Is Yamaha Aerox justifies its price? or the Ntorq 150 is a better deal?

Design

Talking about the design is always tricky, after all, looks are subjective. Someone might love the muscular, streetfighter-inspired stance of the TVS Ntorq 150, while others may prefer the sharp, maxi-scooter DNA of the Yamaha Aerox 155. The TVS Ntorq 150 looks similar to the younger sibling, the Ntorq 125, but has subtle cosmetic changes like the quad LED projector setup at the front apron. The number plate has been moved up to the visor, while the indicators still sit below the headlight setup. Moving to the rear, the taillamp section has been revamped with a new setup.

On the other hand, the Yamaha Aerox 155 looks like a proper maxi-scooter, with the wide front fascia with dual LED headlamps, which gets narrow at the rear. Not just this, it has a hump on the floorboard, which carries the fuel tank. One more major difference lies in the tyres, which ride on 14-inch wheels at the front and rear.

Verdict- The TVS Ntorq 150 looks muscular but compact, while the Aerox boasts a complete maxi-scooter look. After all, it depends on you which one you like in terms of design, because looks are subjective.

Specifications

Under the skin, both the scooters speak the language of performance. The TVS Ntorq 150 is powered by a 149.7cc, air-cooled engine which belts out 13.2 PS and 14.2 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the Yamaha Aerox is powered by a 154cc, liquid-cooled engine which churns out 15 PS and 13.9 Nm of torque.

Underpinnings

Beneath the bodywork, the TVS Ntorq 150 and Yamaha Aerox 155 take two slightly different routes. The Ntorq 150 rides on 12-inch wheels with a 100/80 tyre at the front and a 110/80 at the rear. This setup, paired with a telescopic fork and monoshock, makes it agile, flickable, and perfectly suited for the tight, unpredictable conditions of Indian city roads. Braking duties are handled by a 220 mm front disc and a 130 mm rear drum, offering a balance between cost and performance.

The Aerox, however, plays in a different league. Sitting on 14-inch wheels with wider tyres (110/80 up front and 140/70 at the rear), it offers better grip and stability, especially at higher speeds. Suspension comes via a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers, tuned stiffer to complement its performance focus. Brakes are equally confidence-inspiring with a 230 mm front disc and 130 mm rear drum.
