The hotly anticipated Yamaha NVX scooter has been launched in the country by Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM), following its preview at last year’s Malaysian MotoGP in Sepang.
Also known as the Aerox in other countries, the NVX is powered by a 155 cc single-cylinder Blue Core engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). The engine churns out 14.8 hp at 8,000 rpm and 13.8 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm, which is then routed to the rear wheel via a V-belt automatic transmission.
According to HLYM, the NVX becomes its first model to receive the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) status from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
Equipment-wise, the scooter comes with LED headlight and taillight, a 5.8-inch digital display, a 25-litre underseat storage compartment as well as a mini storage compartment complete with an electric socket. Also included is a smart key system with keyless start function and immobilizer.
Complementing its power and sporty looks, the NVX is also equipped with a 26-mm front fork and a dual-shock suspension at the rear. The scooter rides on 110/80-14M/C 53P (front) and 140/70-14M/C 62P (rear) tubeless tyres, and gets front ABS as standard.
The NVX can be yours from RM10,500 (including GST). It is available blue, red and black.
