Spotted testing on the highway around Bukit Beruntung to Rawang is the 2017 Yamaha NVX, or Aerox, as it is known in some markets. Sent in by paultan.org readers Hatta Phuah Bazlan and Ila Cokobies, this scooter, launched at the Sepang International Circuit last year, was spotted while the reader was on a journey to Kuala Lumpur.
Using the same liquid-cooled, SOHC four-valve single-cylinder with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) as the 2016 Yamaha NMax, power for the NVX is claimed to be 14.8 hp at 8,000 rpm and torque at 14.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Driving a CVT gearbox, the NVX features bulkier styling than the NMax, notably in the fairing.
A 25-litre storage compartment is found under the seat, and there is a small glove box on the right side of the dashboard for miscellaneous items. A key feature of the 2017 NVX is its keyless start, letting the rider push a button for engine start without having to use a key.
Fuel for the NVX is carried in a 4.5-litre tank, and engine start-stop is standard, in line with Yamaha’s “Blue Core” engine design philosphy. The instrument panel is an LCD display, whichs shows the rider all the necessary information.
Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia has said the NVX will be competitively priced, with an estimated production of 300,000 units per year, across ASEAN. The 2016 Yamaha NMax is priced at RM8,812, including GST, excluding insurance and road tax.

Super Nice! Much better looking than Yamaha Nouvo.
Rear disc brake?
ABS?
Tengok kat brake disk depan macam ada pulser ring warna gelap. Mungkin ada ABS.
EX5 much cheaper
Something to look forward to, eh Albert? Oops, i mean ur Kunta dupe (same same anyways).
U and him are the same
Free market dude.
Priced below 10k…..still affordable!!
Bigger capacity more power and smoother ride than many mopeds
makes for a nice commuter bike with a larger fuel tank, looks like NMax is probably still a better choice.
NVX vs NMAX
Avantiz vs Solariz
Apa yg Hong Leong cuba buat? Killing your own market ke?
