VIDEO: 2017 Yamaha NVX 155 – RM11k, auto stop-start

The Yamaha NVX 155 has a stablemate in the NMax, which also sits in the 150 cc class of scooters – however, the NVX offers more aggressive styling with sharper lines, for starters. At RM10,500, the NVX 155 is a premium offering where scooters are concerned, and to that end it brings features such as keyless start and front ABS.

The 155 cc single-cylinder engine outputs the same 14.8 hp at 8,000 rpm and 14.4 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm on the NVX as it does on the NMax, putting power to the road via a CVT. A key difference is in braking equipment. The NVX sports a front disc brake with the aforementioned ABS and a rear drum brake, while the NMax is equipped with disc brakes front and rear, but without ABS.

Facing the rider is a fully digital instrument panel which includes a battery voltage readout – the latter an important feature, as the NVX comes with automatic stop-start. It also has remote fuel filler cap and remote seat opening, the latter with enough room to accommodate an open-shell helmet. There is also a glovebox just ahead of the rider’s left knee, which also has a 12-volt power outlet for charging accessories.

That the Yamaha NVX 155 is a scooter should bode well for its urban riding manners, but how does it fare across a broad spectrum of riding environments? Watch the video above to find out, as our man Mohan puts the NVX through its paces.

    Good presentation. However, the price is too steep. Should reduce by 50%

          Before this GST was implemented, is it no development in Malaysia?
          From 1957 to 2015, no GST.
          Any development within that 58 years?

    Why promote kapchai as racing motorcycle when its biggest flaw is always lack of stopping power? How many meters for the it to stop from 60 to 0 ?

    No need to advertise anymore. The waiting list is as long as 6 months. Yamaha cannot cope with the demand.
