The Yamaha Aerox 155 starts at ₱125,900 SRP in the Philippines for the Standard, with the S ABS variant listed around ₱146,000. It is a 155cc automatic sport scooter — the most aggressive-looking machine in its class, with a firmer, sportier character than a Honda Click and a taller 790 mm seat. If you want to find out whether that sporty setup suits your riding before committing, renting one costs ₱750 a day.

Listing sites show an overall Aerox range of roughly ₱125,900 to ₱163,900 once special editions and colour variants are included. Verified 3 August 2026.
Confirm the variant before you commit. Yamaha rotates Aerox trims and special editions frequently, and listing sites do not always keep up — we found one page labelling an S ABS entry as discontinued while the main model pages still quoted S ABS pricing. Ask your dealer which variants are actually in stock right now rather than trusting any online listing, including this one.

| Engine | 155cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC 4-valve |
|---|---|
| Power | 15.1 hp |
| Torque | 14.2 Nm |
| Transmission | V-belt automatic (CVT) — no clutch, no gears |
| Seat height | 790 mm |

The Aerox produces slightly more claimed power than a Honda Click 160 and slightly more torque, but the numbers are close enough that they are not the real story. The difference you feel is in how the bike is set up: firmer suspension, sharper steering geometry, a more committed riding position, and styling that borrows from Yamaha’s sportbikes rather than from commuter scooters.
That is the Aerox’s whole proposition. It is the scooter for someone who wants their scooter to feel like a motorcycle.
The 790 mm seat is the thing to check
At 790 mm the Aerox has the tallest seat of the popular 155cc–160cc scooters — 12 mm above the Click 160 and 20 mm above the NMAX. On paper that sounds trivial. In practice, at a stoplight on a cambered road with a passenger aboard, it is not.
If you are around 5’4″ or shorter, sit on one before buying. This is the single most common regret we hear about the Aerox, and it is entirely avoidable — a day’s rental costs ₱750 and answers the question completely.
Aerox versus Click 160 versus NMAX
We rent all three, so here is the honest comparison:
| Aerox 155 | Click 160 | NMAX 155 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 155cc | 157cc | 155cc |
| Seat height | 790 mm | 778 mm | 770 mm |
| Kerb weight | 130 kg | 116 kg | 131 kg |
| SRP from | ₱125,900 | ₱108,900 | ₱155,900 |
| Rental | ₱750/day | ₱850/day | ₱950/day |
| Character | Sporty, firm | Light, easy | Comfortable, composed |
The Click 160 is 14 kg lighter and cheaper, and it is the easier bike to live with in dense traffic and tight parking. The NMAX is the most comfortable over distance, with the lowest seat and the most storage, and costs the most.
The Aerox sits between them on price and above both on attitude. Choose it because you want the sporty one — not because you expect it to be the most practical, because it is not.
What it costs to run
Beyond the purchase price: annual LTO registration, insurance above the TPL minimum, scheduled oil changes, and CVT belt and roller service — the item owners forget until the transmission starts slipping. Tyres and brake pads wear faster in stop-start Metro Manila traffic than the service schedule assumes.
The 5.5-litre tank is the same as the Click 160’s and adequate for city use, though it means more fuel stops than an 8.1-litre ADV on a long provincial ride. The firmer sport suspension also transmits more of Metro Manila’s road surface to you than a softer commuter scooter would — worth factoring in if your daily route is genuinely rough.
We have not printed a peso-per-litre fuel figure. Philippine pump prices moved sharply through 2026 and any number quoted here would be stale within weeks.
Is the S ABS worth the extra?
The step from Standard to S ABS is roughly ₱20,000, and it buys ABS, traction control and an anti-theft alarm.
ABS on a scooter ridden in Philippine wet-season conditions is not a luxury. Painted road markings, steel plates and diesel-slicked junctions are exactly the surfaces where a locked front wheel ends badly, and it is the one feature you cannot retrofit sensibly. If the budget stretches, it is the version to have.
Traction control and the alarm are pleasant additions rather than reasons on their own.
Who the Aerox suits
- Riders who want sporty character without learning a clutch — it is fully automatic.
- Taller riders, who will find the 790 mm seat and roomier riding position comfortable rather than awkward.
- Confident city riders who value sharp steering over plush comfort.
- Style-led buyers. It is the best-looking scooter in the class, and that is a legitimate reason to buy something.
It suits you less if you are short, if you carry a passenger every day, or if long-distance comfort matters more than handling — in which case the NMAX is the better machine.
What it is actually like to ride
Numbers only tell you so much. The Aerox’s defining trait is that it feels tighter than its rivals. The steering responds faster, the suspension is firmer, and the whole machine feels more connected to the road surface. On smooth tarmac that is genuinely enjoyable — it changes direction with a quickness that makes a Click feel slightly vague by comparison.
The trade-off arrives on bad roads. Firm suspension transmits everything: expansion joints, patched tarmac, the endless ridges around road works. Over a long ride on rough surfaces the Aerox is more tiring than a softer commuter scooter, and a passenger will notice it more than you do.
The riding position is also more forward-leaning than a Click or PCX. That suits the sporty intent and suits taller riders, but it puts a little more weight on your wrists in stop-start traffic.
None of this is a criticism — it is the bike doing exactly what it was designed to do. It just means the Aerox rewards a particular kind of rider and mildly punishes everyone else.
Buying used: what to check
The Aerox is popular with younger riders and, because it looks sporty, a proportion of used examples have been ridden hard or modified. Be thorough:
- Check for modifications. Aftermarket exhausts, CVT tuning parts, variator kits and altered gearing are common. Some are harmless, some shorten engine life considerably. Ask what has been changed and why, and be wary if the seller is vague.
- CVT behaviour. Accelerate from a standstill. Slipping, shuddering or whining points to belt and roller wear — and a tuned CVT wears faster than a stock one.
- Crash damage. Look at bar ends, mirror stalks, footboard edges and the plastics around the tail. Sporty scooters go down more often than commuters do.
- Suspension. Check the rear shock for leaks and the fork for pitting. A bike that has spent its life on bad roads with firm suspension takes a beating.
- ABS function on S variants. Confirm the warning light behaves correctly at start-up and clears once moving. Do not accept a permanently lit ABS light.
- OR/CR in the seller’s name, with matching engine and chassis numbers.
With the Standard at ₱125,900 new, do the arithmetic carefully. A modified used example at ₱95,000 with an unknown service history is not obviously the better deal.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a Yamaha Aerox 155 in the Philippines?
The Aerox Standard starts at ₱125,900 SRP, with the S ABS variant listed around ₱146,000. Including special editions the range runs to roughly ₱163,900. Confirm current variant availability with your dealer, as Yamaha rotates Aerox trims frequently. Rent2Ride Manila rents the Aerox from ₱750 per day in Makati.
Is the Yamaha Aerox automatic?
Yes. The Aerox uses a V-belt automatic CVT — no clutch lever and no gear shifting. You still need a driving licence that covers motorcycles, but no manual riding experience is required.
Is the Aerox too tall for short riders?
At 790 mm it has the tallest seat among the popular 155cc–160cc scooters — 12 mm above the Honda Click 160 and 20 mm above the NMAX. Riders around 5’4″ and under are often on tiptoes at stops. It is the most common Aerox regret and easily avoided by sitting on one, or renting one for a day, first.
Aerox or Honda Click 160 — which is better?
The Click 160 is lighter at 116 kg against 130 kg, cheaper at ₱108,900 against ₱125,900, and has a lower seat, which makes it the easier bike in traffic and tight parking. The Aerox is sportier, firmer and more aggressively styled. Pick the Click for practicality and value, the Aerox for character. We rent both at ₱850 and ₱750 per day respectively.
Is the Aerox S ABS worth the extra money?
The roughly ₱20,000 step adds ABS, traction control and an anti-theft alarm. ABS is the one that matters — on wet Philippine roads, painted markings and steel plates are exactly where a locked front wheel causes a crash, and it cannot be retrofitted sensibly. If the budget allows, take the ABS version.
What is the Aerox fuel tank capacity?
5.5 litres — the same as the Honda Click 160. Fine for city riding and commuting, but it means more frequent fuel stops on long provincial rides than a larger-tanked scooter such as the ADV 160 with its 8.1 litres.
Can I rent a Yamaha Aerox in Manila?
Yes. Rent2Ride Manila rents the Aerox 155 at ₱750 per day and the Aerox V2 at ₱850 per day from our Makati stall, open daily 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Both include one helmet, a phone holder, 250 km of daily mileage and TPL insurance.
