[moto] These are interesting things from the Yamaha Aerox compared to the Honda ADV150

[luminox™-]

Putting the Yamaha Aerox and Honda ADV150 as true rivals is not 100 percent right. Both have different target segments. Not to mention the difference in selling value is quite a lot. Conceptually it is also contradictory. It's just that two elements can bring them together in a consideration: They are both in the 150 cc class and have an unusual shape like a general scooter. And at a cheaper price, what are Aerox's winning points compared to the ADV150?

 

Better Engine Performance
The difference in selling value does not mean that it is bad. In fact, the two motorbikes transplanted machines that were fighting each other. Aerox is loaded with the Nmax mechanical circuit, while the ADV150 provides PCX ammunition with a slight output adjustment. Therefore, even though the Aerox price was far below, the performance of the runway had to make Honda give in.

Is a new generation 155 cc VVA engine, with a fairly dense compression ratio (11.6: 1). The increase in this ratio significantly boosted output. From the beginning, Aerox only pumped around 14.7 Hp, now it can reach 15.1 Hp at 8,000 rpm. Peak torque also rises even in decimal, 13.9 Nm at 5,000 rpm. For a weight of only 125 kg, it is natural to claim that Yamaha has a good resultant power-to-weight ratio in its class.Regarding torque, maybe the Honda ADV is not too sluggish. The difference is still fairly close, 13.8 Nm at 6,500 rpm. However, the 150 cc eSP engine produces less power, 14.3 hp at 8,500 rpm. At first glance a little, but for the size of the scooter is usually felt. Moreover, the total weight of the ADV reaches 132 kg - 133 kg.Their fuel efficiency facilities are equally exclusive in high variants. Honda calls it the Idling Stop System (ISS), while Yamaha calls it the Stop Start System (SSS). The concept is exactly the same, automatically turns off the engine when idling.

 

 

Has Optimal Features
ADV150 is the creation of two years ago. Meanwhile the Yamaha Aerox hit a refreshing point first. As a result, he applied the latest and sophisticated technology. One that cannot be denied by Honda is the Y-Connect application, as well as the CCU in this sporty scooter digital panel.Due to the combination of software and hardware, the driver can connect the device to the screen. Almost all data about motorbikes are recorded and translated to the smartphone screen. From fuel information to the final parking point. Complete. Conversely, phone notifications, messages, e-mails, are also read on the monitor with a blue background. Very present.Owning the ADV 150 is not that far. Indeed, the screen is fully digital, the following displays complete data about the motorbike. But the same is true for Aerox. Both are equally complete, displaying important data to real time fuel consumption.The rest is also not lacking. Same thing with ADV, it has applied lighting from the diodes on the front and back. Electric power socket is also available in every variant. Including the hazard button and the presence of a Smart Motor Generator (SMG) to mute the sound of the starter. In the top variant, Aerox both have one channel ABS. Plus Smart key and Stop Start System (SSS).

 

Able to Maximize Baggage
Yamaha seeks to combine a sporty character with practicality a la Maxi. Despite the sharp nuance - more than enough trunk space for this kind of form. The volume is 25-liter. Able to put a helmet and some luggage.It's just that, indeed, the structure of the motor is tapered and the tail rises to make the contours of the storage space have an inward niche. Not widened. You need to get around when you want to accommodate goods. In addition to the space behind the seat, the drawer on the left side of the motorbike is also quite supportive for storing devices. So you don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain while driving while charging.

 

Prices Are Not Too Expensive
If you look at the price point of view, the budget of Rp. 25.5 million - Rp. 29.5 million for performance specifications and features such as Aerox is very inspiring. The runway mechanics are clearly impressive when compared to the ADV150. Not to mention the question of technological sophistication. The difference is quite a lot when you have to release IDR 35,186 million - IDR 38,251 million for the ADV150. Which is even more expensive than the latest PCX160.

 

What it lacks than Aerox
There are several things that need to be tolerated when choosing Aerox. The deceleration device, although both use one-channel ABS at the front, the alloy on the rear wheels is still drummed. While the ADV150 is able to provide two front and rear discs.Furthermore, the ADV150's suspension travel looks solid and solid. Interestingly, the front fork and two Showa tube suspension at the rear also have quite a long travel. Ready to devour the dynamic field than most scooters. Of course Aerox can't be like that. And the two rear tube suspensions can only be enjoyed if you buy the high variant.Finally, regarding the accommodation of goods, it is not as optimal as ADV, although it is supportive. Owned Honda is somewhat bigger in volume, up to 28-liter. While the trunk format is also widened. Making it easier to accommodate goods. (Pg / Raju)
