Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia has launched the the 2017
Yamaha NVX scooter – also known as the Aerox in some countries – at a price of
RM 10,500. The price includes GST, but excludes road tax, insurance and
registration.
Designed in-line with Yamaha’s Blue Core philosophy,
which promotes engine design efficiency, the Aerox is Yamaha’s first model to
obtain the Energy Efficiency Vehicle (EEV) classification from the government.
The NVX carries a liquid-cooled, SOHC four-valve single with Variable Valve
Actuation (VVA).
The 155 cc engine is rated at 14.8 hp at 8,000 rpm
and torque is claimed to be 14.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Power gets to the ground via
a CVT gearbox, and the NVX features bulkier styling than the Yamaha NMax,
notably in the fairing and has keyless start, while front ABS is standard.
An LCD screen graces the cockpit, displaying all the
necessary information the rider needs. A 25-litre storage compartment can be
found under the seat, and a USB port is located in a side compartment for
charging electronics.
There are three colours on offer the NVX
– Black, Blue and Red. The 2017 Yamaha NVX will be available soon at all
authorised Hong Leong Yamaha dealers.
