2018 Yamaha Aerox 4 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2018 Yamaha Aerox 4 pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3 HP (2.2 kW) at 7,240 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.3 Nm (2.4 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 38.0 x 43.5 mm (1.5 x 1.7 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Aerox 4 measures 97 kg (214 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 817 mm (32.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,275 mm (50.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
