ricklev Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I rented a fairly new Aerox in Chiang Mai for a month recently. A slight bit of a rough ride in the city, I thought, but it really came into its own on a trip to Pai and back. I loved it! Smooth, powerful, great handling. (The road is also exceptionally well-maintained and sign-posted these days also.) Kind of made me think it's time to replace my 20 year old Honda Wave. I'm curious if the NMAX, which I have never rode, is better than the Aerox? I guess I will rent one next time but what is your opinion? Thanks.

Kwasaki Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Only you can decide that yourself. Someone with a Aerox will say it's better than a Nmax and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Same engine? NMax is the sedan, Aerox is the hot hatch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianBlessing Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We have one of each. I find the NMax a bit roomier for my long legs, while the shorter gearing makes the Aerox a bit more spritely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I have had both and would say the Aerox is better, and cheaper. The NMAX had great brakes though and ABS, which the lower model Aeroxs don't. I am a small guy so found the Aerox easier to handle. Maybe a larger guy would prefer the NMAX.

MajorTom Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I like the Aerox, the best scooter i ever had. It does have a few weaknesses. I'm not sure how they compare to the N-Max: -Front suspension is too soft. -Its not really good for passengers. Tail is too high. -Its compact. If you are above 6 feet your knees will hit the plastic covering. Maybe not on the newer models as they had a redesign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aforek Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I have an Nmx for three years, very satisfied, I save money with it, compared to the Honda wave I don't know the Aerox, but the things I don't like with Nmax is that suspension is not very good, degraded road unpleasant, especially for passenger, and at very slow speed , turning 90 degrees is not easy, because pretty heavy bike ; apart this, long trips are very comfortable , never any problems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 ^ Correct not really my thing.. Lack lustre styling. I'm used to Indonesia where NMax /Aerox outsells them about 6 to 1 minimum based on observation. For some reason it is the opposite here. But having just looked at the four-valve engine specs I found out where the 28mm aftermarket throttle body come from. Cheers for that. But they only have a 4v engine because Yamaha does.

MajorTom Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 PCX vs. Aerox.. I have had both. You will never want a PCX again if you had a similar Yamaha. Its like driving a bus in comparison. With the same engine. I do like the look of the ADV type though. Never tried none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agusts Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Aerox vs NMax comparison discussed on this forum before, hopefully you can find more info via search... Most of it mentioned above, and your mention of slight rough ride on A is correct (I notice it too), I think N is a bit smoother, saying that remember N has smaller wheels, so A can handle potholes a bit better, but N having 2x ABS is quite something for this price range and scooter size... Once you rent the N as well you will know what is best for you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't use an Aerox, my knees keeps hitting the faring so Nmax for me if have to choose between the two. I seen the Nmax in some pretty cool colors lately, likely the yearly updates.
