MANILA: Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH) has showcased the capabilities of the Sniper 155 and Mio Aerox in a short film.

In the one minute commercial — which you can check out here — the local wing of the Japanese motorcycle brand (in partnership with Dentsu Creative Philippines) displayed the speed of the two aforementioned motorcycles.

The aforementioned clip is just one of a series of videos that YMPH believes will give its viewers trouble keeping up with.

Nevertheless, they can use the timestamps to jump to specific points in the film and watch the moments that were too fast to catch the first time around.

“This spot’s all about the speed that the Sniper and Mio Aerox offer, the precision handling, and the joy of discovering hidden details. With the timestamps, you’re in full control,” Yamaha Motor Philippines Marketing Section Manager Toni Acuesta said.

Yamaha Sniper 155

Yamaha just launched the latest iteration of the Sniper 155 in May.

The underbone packs an updated 155 cubic centimeter (cc), liquid-cooled, four-valve, fuel-injected engine with model-specific settings. It is paired with a constant mesh six-speed transmission system with wet multiple disc clutch technology.

It produces some 17.6 horsepower (hp) with 14.4 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque.

Other notable features of the new Yamaha Sniper 155 includes a variable valve actuation as well as an assist and slipper clutch — which can also be found on other models like the YZF-R1 and YZF-R15M.

Also worth mentioning are its disc brakes (front and back), telescopic front fork and swing arm suspension system, inverted digital meter panel, LED lighting setup, and ample 5.4-liter fuel tank.

Those eyeing the sportier Yamaha Sniper 155R can expect additional appointments in the form of an anti-lock brake system (ABS), a 12-volt direct current power socket, a smart key system, and a two-pot brake caliper.

Pricing for the Yamaha Sniper 155 starts at P125,900.

Yamaha Mio Aerox

The Yamaha Mio Aerox, on the other hand, uses a 155 cc, liquid-cooled, four-valve, fuel-injected mill mated to a continuously variable transmission.

Per YMPH, the powerplant fitted in the Yamaha Mio Aerox makes use of a new cylinder head and a compact combustion chamber to achieve a higher compression ratio.

As a result, the automatic scooter dishes out approximately 15.1 hp with 13.9 Nm of pulling power.

Braking and deceleration is handled by a hydraulic disc brake at the front and a leading drum brake at the rear. It has a digital meter panel and is capable of allowing owners to take advantage of the Y-Connect technology.

Its note worthy features include ABS (for Yamaha Mio Aerox S), an LED headlight and taillight combo, as well as a 5.5-liter fuel tank.

The Yamaha Mio Aerox has a base price of P123,000.
