In our experience, neither the Yamaha Aerox 155 nor the Hero Xoom 160 have proven to be comfortable, especially over broken roads. Instead of these two, we'd recommend you give a long, hard look at the TVS Ntorq 150. On paper, it might seem like a step down compared to the Yamaha and Hero with its 12-inch wheels and air-cooled engine, but in reality, it is the better product. With plush suspension, a spacious underseat storage and peppy performance, the bigger Ntorq makes for a compelling sporty scooter that doesn't sacrifice practicality. In our routine tests, we also found that - when ridden gently - it can be surprisingly fuel efficient. Do take a test ride of the Ntorq 150 to see if it resonates with you.

The Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160, while stylish and powerful scooters, both fall behind in one crucial area - stiff rear suspension. The Aprilia SR 175 is even more single-minded, and it will also feel quite cramped and uncomfortable for a taller rider.Instead, we'd recommend you take a look at the TVS Ntorq 150. The bigger Ntorq balances zippy performance with everyday comfort and practicality, and with its flashy colour palette will definitely stand out from the crowd.Do take a test ride of these machines and see for yourself which one you prefer.

Both the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160 are rather uncomfortable scooters owing to their stiff rear suspension and, in the case of the Aerox, a thin seat and cramped ergonomics for taller riders. Since your monthly usage isn't all that high, you could use these scooters and live with them, especially if the roads in your city are, by and large, well-made. It won't be a very pleasant experience if you don't have smooth roads. Plus, venturing out on longer trips with these will be even more tiresome as road conditions on Indian highways keep fluctuating. And neither is great at pillion comfort either. We recommend you instead take a look at the TVS Ntorq 150. It promises similar performance, with far more comfort, while coming in at a lower price point.
