2025 Yamaha Aerox Alpha Turbo – The Everyday Super Scooter Arrives

If you’ve ever wanted a scooter that feels like it’s got a little beast hidden under the seat, the all-new Yamaha Aerox Alpha Turbo 2025 is here to answer that call. Recently launched in Indonesia, this next-gen Aerox—known to us Malaysians as the NVX—is a stunning leap forward in both performance and practicality, made for the everyday rider who wants a little thrill without sacrificing comfort or control.

Whether you’re a mak hantar anak sekolah, an abang going to work, or just someone who loves the feel of the open road between kedai runs—this scooter is made for you.

Power Like Never Before – The Yamaha “Turbo” Magic Let’s talk Turbo. No, it’s not your traditional turbocharger bolted to a scooter engine—but Yamaha has come up with something genius they’re calling the YECVT – Yamaha Electric Continuously Variable Transmission. This system gives you three acceleration modes:

Low – great for casual city rides

Medium – for balanced power

High – for full-throttle excitement

Controlled by a thumb switch on the handlebar (called Turbo Y-Shift), this isn’t just gimmickry—it genuinely feels like a turbo kick when you want to shoot off at a traffic light or overtake on a highway. The 15.4 horsepower and 14.2 Nm torque from the 155cc VVA engine is no joke. And yes, it’s the same powerplant as the Yamaha R15, so it knows how to party.

Riding Comfort – Height, Handling, and Balance With a seat height of 790mm, it strikes a perfect balance—not too low that you feel cramped, and not too tall for those with a smaller frame. It’s tall enough to give you a commanding view in traffic, and at 130kg, it’s light and agile for daily use. You can filter through traffic jams like a pro.

The rear now gets shock absorbers with a sub tank and performance damper, which is a fancy way of saying: this bike eats up bumps and corners like no other scooter in this range. Whether you’re weaving through tight urban corners or riding long-distance to fetch your wife from work, it holds firm, smooth, and responsive.

Design – Sharp, Sporty and Seriously Eye-Catching Yamaha’s design team clearly had their morning kopi-o when sketching this one. It’s aggressive, futuristic, and bold—with dual-LED projector headlights that not only light up the night but announce your arrival.

From the new CyberCity-inspired lines to the sharp rear LED taillights and integrated signal lamps, the Aerox Alpha looks every bit the sporty commuter dream.

Next-Gen Tech – Not Just Bling, It’s Smart Living Welcome to the future, folks. The new TFT screen has three display modes—Standard, Dynamic, and Sport—automatically adjusting between day and night. Info is always crisp, clear, and cool.

Need directions? Use Yamaha Y-Connect, sync your phone, and get Google Maps turn-by-turn right on your dash. It even records ride stats, fuel use, and engine info. Perfect for the tech-savvy abang or adik who wants that "connected ride" experience.

Add in: Keyless start Answer back feature (great when you're in a crowded car park)

USB-A charger in the front cowl

Smart stop-start system (fuel saving!)

24.5L underseat storage (can fit groceries, school bag, even your office shoes)

It’s clear—this isn’t just a scooter, it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

Safety – For You and Your Family ABS? Check. Front disc and rear disc brakes? Check. Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)? Yup—when you brake hard, both indicators flash to alert others.

For the family person on two wheels, that peace of mind matters. You want to feel confident sending the kids to school or riding through unpredictable traffic.

Variants & What to Expect in Malaysia

The Aerox Alpha Turbo was launched in Indonesia in four variants: Turbo Ultimate – IDR 41.73 million (≈ RM11,566) Turbo – IDR 39.55 million (≈ RM10,936) CyberCity – IDR 33.99 million (≈ RM9,402) Standard – IDR 29.9 million (≈ RM8,270) – no ABS, unlikely to come here
