New and Upcoming Scooters in Nepal

Yamaha Aerox 155

Starting with the Yamaha Aerox 155.

Yamaha Aerox is powered by a 155cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, 4-valve, Liquid-Cooled, SOHC engine. It can generate a max power of 15PS at 8000rpm and a max torque of 13.9Nm at 6500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a V-belt automatic transmission with a 5.5-liter fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Yamaha Aerox will be the second maxi-scooter for Yamaha Nepal.

Aerox will be a breed of its own.

It comes with muscular and sporty styling. Moreover, it is packed with features and powered by a powerful R15 engine.

Additionally, it gets a new Negative LCD Meter, 24.5-liter Under Seat Storage, Single-Channel ABS, LED Lights, and more.

Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Hybrid

Next up, it is the Yamaha Ray ZR Hybrid.

Yamaha Ray ZR 125 is powered by a 125cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 8.2PS at 6500rpm and a max torque of 10.3Nm at 5000rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a V-belt automatic transmission with a 5.2-liter fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Please note that it is not a fully electric scooter. Rather, Yamaha has implemented a mix of a traditional engine with a Hybrid Power Assist.

As a result, it generates better pickup thanks to the 0.6Nm increase in torque.

• Block Pattern Tyre with Sporty Wheel Stripes (Street Rally)

Expected Launch Date

Both Ray ZR Hybrid and Fascino Hybrid do not fall under the priority list.

Moreover, both products do not offer drastic changes. So, it wouldn’t make business sense to cannibalize the current sales with more expensive products.

Considering all the pending Yamaha products right now, these scooters might only arrive sometime in 2023 or later.

Yamaha Fascino 125 Hybrid

Moving on, it is the Yamaha Fascino 125 Hybrid.

Yamaha Fascino 125 is powered by a 125cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 8.2PS at 6500rpm and a max torque of 10.3Nm at 5000rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a V-belt automatic transmission with a 5.2-liter fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Again, the powertrain is the same as the Ray ZR Hybrid.

It gets a mix of a traditional engine with a Hybrid Power Assist for the extra 0.6Nm torque.

Again, this does not fall under the priority list for Yamaha Nepal.

Nevertheless, these scooters might only arrive sometime in early-2023 or later.

TVS NTorq XP

Moving to an Indian brand, it is the TVS NTorq 125 XP.

TVS NTorq is powered by a 124.79cc, 4-stroke, 3-valve, Air-cooled FI engine. It can generate a max power of 10.2PS at 7000rpm and a max torque of 10.8Nm at 5500rpm.

As a result, NTorq 125 XP generates 1.3PS more power and 0.3Nm more torque than before.

On top of that, the scooter comes with new Color, Ride Modes, Bluetooth Connectivity with Voice Assist, and Red-colored Alloy wheels. which further highlights its Racing DNA.

Considering the launch history, TVS NTorq XP might arrive in late-2022.

Plus, TVS Nepal might showcase its highly-anticipated products at the upcoming NADA Auto Show.

TVS Jupiter 125

Staying on TVS, it is the TVS Jupiter 125.

TVS Jupiter is powered by a 124.8cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, Air-cooled, FI Engine. It can generate a max power of 8.15PS at 6500rpm and a max torque of 10.5Nm at 4500rpm.

Expected Launch Date

TVS Jupiter didn’t as popular as the TVS NTorq.

Despite offering more features than the other 110cc scooters, the TVS Jupiter has failed to capture the Nepali scooter segment.

However, that might change with the new Jupiter 125.

Considering those circumstances, TVS Nepal might introduce the Jupiter 125 by late-2022 to mid-2023.

Nevertheless, TVS Nepal might skip the launch altogether.

We will know for sure in a few more months.

Suzuki Avenis 125

Next up is the Japanese Suzuki Avenis 125.

Suzuki Avenis 125 BS6 is powered by a 124.3cc, Single-Cylinder, 2-valve, air-cooled, SOHC, FI engine. It can generate a max power of 8.7PS at 6750rpm and a max torque of 10Nm at 5500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a CVT transmission with a 5.2-liter fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Suzuki Avenis 125 features a drastically different styling leaning more towards a sporty appearance.

Additionally, it includes LED Headlamp with Twin LED Tail Lamp, Sporty Muffler, Integrated Engine Kill Switch, a new Digital Meter, and more.

While it takes the existing Access 125 engine, the styling and features are entirely made from the ground up.

Suzuki Avenis 125 Features Highlight

• Digital Meter
• Integrated Engine Kill Switch

Expected Launch Date

Suzuki Nepal has confirmed Suzuki Avenis 125 for the Nepali market. Moreover, it will be available in both Standard and RideConnect variants.

Unfortunately, the company isn’t quite clear on its launch date.

Since Nepal is slowly becoming a scooter-dominated market, the company will probably launch it within mid-2022 to late-2022.

Aprilia SXR 125

Moving on, it is the Italian Aprilia SXR 125.

Aprilia SXR 125 is powered by a new 125cc, 3-valve, air-cooled FI engine. It will generate a max power of 9.52 PS at 7600rpm and a max torque of 9.20Nm at 6250rpm.

Furthermore, it is mated to a CVT transmission with a 7-liter fuel capacity.

New Changes

We have already seen the SXR styling before.

It is based on the SXR 160, which is already available in Nepal.

Aprilia SXR 125 features new maxi-scooter styling with LED Headlamp, LED DRLs, Digital Meter, CBS braking, and more.

Expected Launch Date

Aprilia SXR 125 was launched in India last year. So, it was expected to launch in Nepal the same year.

Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case.

If Aprilia Nepal were to introduce the SXR 125, it would realistically cannibalize the SXR 160 market share.

Taking that into consideration, we might not see the debut of SXR 125 in Nepal this year.

But, never say never.

Aprilia SR 125 BS6

Similarly, it is the Aprilia SR 125 BS6.

Aprilia SR 125 is powered by a 124.45cc, Single-cylinder 4-stroke, 3-valve Air-cooled FI engine. It can produce a max power of 9.78 PS at 7700rpm and a max torque of 9.7 Nm at 6000rpm.

Moreover, it uses CVT transmission with a 6-liter fuel capacity.

New Changes

As far as changes go, there are minimal changes in the powertrain. However, the overall styling gets the majority of changes.

While the aesthetics are similar to past iterations, it looks bulkier than before.

It features all-new LED Headlamp, X-shaped LED Taillamp, Digital Instrument Meter, Split Seat Setup, Integrated Foot Pegs, Larger Tyres, and more.

Additionally, there is also the Aprilia SR 160 BS6.

It essentially shares the styling with the SR 125 but with a few extra features and a more powerful engine.

• Integrated Side Indicators
• 14-inch Tyres

• 160cc BS6-compliant Engine (SR 160 Race)
• Knuckle Guards (SR 160 Race)
• Single Channel ABS (SR 160 Race)

Expected Launch Date

Unfortunately, Aprilia Nepal hasn’t shown keen interest in bringing the BS6 iterations yet.

Nevertheless, Aprilia SR 125 is one of the most popular scooters in Nepal. So, there is a strong chance that it might ultimately make its way into the country sooner or later.

Though unconfirmed, we hope the Italian company showcases at least one of its upcoming products at the NADA AutoShow 2022.

Honda Dio BS6

Next up is the Honda Dio BS6.

Honda Dio is powered by a 109.51cc, Single-cylinder, Air-cooled FI engine. It can generate a max power of 7.76PS at 8000rpm and a max torque of 9Nm at 4750rpm.

Expected Launch Date

Honda Nepal has been planning for the Dio BS6 launch for quite some time.

Perhaps the sharp increase in pricing might be one of the reasons behind its delay.

There is a test unit at Kantipath, Kathmandu. So, the launch date might arrive sooner than expected.

Judging by Honda’s previous launches, Honda Dio BS6 will launch within mid-2022 to end-2022.

Okinawa Okhi 90

Moving to the electric segment, Okinawa Okhi 90.

Okinawa Okhi 90 is powered by a Central Mounting motor. It can generate a max power of 3800 Watt with a claimed top speed of 90 Kmph.
