While both maxi-scooters share similar design features such as the raised central tunnel and stepped seat, the NMax looks to get a more upright front apron housing a single-piece twin-eye headlamp replete with LED DRLs and lower set turn indicators. The NMax also boasts of a larger windscreen with the unit mounted to the apron rather than the handlebar as on the Aerox. The NMax also boasts a larger 7.1 litre fuel tank – the Aerox gets a 5.5-litre capacity.

Yamaha also seems keen to bring the NMax 155 to the Indian market in a bid to strengthen its hold on the 155cc maxi-scooter segment. car&bike has learnt from informed sources that Yamaha is seriously considering the launch of the Yamaha NMax 155 in India later this year.  If it’s priced right, the NMax 155 has the potential to shake up the scooter segment in India, possibly even kickstarting an interest in the maxi-scooter segment.
