Last Update: 28 October 2021

Yamaha XMAX Scooter The Ultimate Sport Scooter

Yamaha has a new addition to the scooter lineup the Yamaha XMAX is the ultimate sport Scooter with a liquid‑cooled engine that is both fuel efficient and performance proven. High-tech features distance the XMAX from your typical bare-bones scooter and is ready to go whenever you are, whether you need to get groceries down the street or venture off into the countryside.

Yamaha XMAX Advanced 292cc Engine

The Yamaha XMAX is powered by an advanced 292cc liquid-cooled, four-valve single that develops smooth, tractable power. The cylinder is crafted from Yamaha’s DiASil aluminium for excellent heat dissipation, with a lightweight forged piston and forged crankshaft. A counterbalancer ensures minimal vibration while the offset cylinder layout and semi-dry-sump lubrication system help reduce friction and drag inside the engine.

Performance, Technology and Style Come Standard

Full Automatic Convenience

Thanks to its Continuously Variable Transmission, the XMAX offers the convenience of truly ‘twist and go’ riding, with no gears and no clutch. This gives the XMAX an easy-going riding character that is ideal for busting city traffic on weekdays and enjoying a relaxed ride on the weekend. The CVT system also features a large air-cooling path for the drive belt, reducing heat and engine noise significantly.

Impressive Fuel Economy and Range

Thanks to the efficient engine design features and advanced powertrain, the XMAX delivers 3.14 L/100km. Combined with a large 12.9 litre fuel tank, the XMAX boasts impressive cruising range.

Large Wheels and Tires

The XMAX features large 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels for enhanced handling and sporty style. The XMAX also mounts the latest Dunlop® Scoot Smart tires for excellent traction in both wet and dry conditions.

All-Inclusive Storage

Further boosting convenience is a huge under seat storage area that locks securely to keep valuables safe and is large enough for two full-face helmets. LED lighting comes standard, and the fairing also includes two additional storage bays, one of which locks electronically and includes a 12V DC outlet.

Adjustable Handlebar and Windscreen

The XMAX includes an adjustable handlebar, with 20mm of rearward adjustment, and can be changed quickly with zero additional parts. The XMAX also features a two-position windscreen that can be shifted two inches higher for additional wind protection. Finally, the sculpted saddle makes it easier to reach the ground at stops and works with the floorboards for a flexible all-day riding position.
