Thursday, 28 September 2023 07:43 AM

Yamaha has unveiled the 2023 XMAX 125 at the ongoing International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA) 2022 in Milan Italy. While there is some structural similarity between the new XMAX 125 and the XMAX 300, the former will have a couple of variants - the standard XMAX 125 and the XMAX 125 Tech MAX.

Monday, 20 January 2025 07:06 AM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX is set to arrive in dealerships in March, featuring a new electronically adjustable windscreen that offers nearly four inches of stepless vertical adjustment. This update is designed to enhance rider comfort and style. The windscreen adjustments can be made on-the-fly via a control switch on the left handlebar switchgear. I think this feature will be a game-changer for riders of different heights.

Friday, 17 January 2025 04:18 PM Yamaha has revamped the front end of the 2025 XMAX, integrating the turn signals into the fairing for a cleaner look and better wind protection. The nose-cowling and spoiler have also been updated to reduce turbulence and fatigue for the rider. This redesign should make long rides more comfortable.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 06:55 PM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX boasts a new instrument panel that combines a 4.2-inch TFT screen and a 3.2-inch LCD screen, providing a wealth of information including speed, tachometer, fuel gauge, and more. The LCD screens backlighting has been improved for better visibility. This new dashboard is a significant upgrade in terms of both functionality and aesthetics.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 05:53 AM Yamaha has introduced a new muffler for the 2025 XMAX, which is lighter than the previous design but has resulted in a slight overall weight increase to 403 pounds. The swingarm has been reworked to accommodate this new muffler, and the traction control system has been remapped for more refined intervention. I believe this will improve the scooters handling and performance.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 02:12 PM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX will be available in Midnight Black and comes with a modest price increase to $6,299, reflecting the various updates. The scooter retains its powerful and fuel-efficient 292cc engine and CVT transmission. This pricing seems reasonable given the new features.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 12:45 AM Yamaha has added a new USB-C powered socket to the 2025 XMAX, ensuring riders can keep their smartphones charged on the go. This is a practical addition that addresses a common need for modern commuters.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 07:31 AM Despite the updates, the engine of the 2025 Yamaha XMAX remains unchanged, featuring a 292cc SOHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a CVT transmission. However, fuel efficiency has improved to 73 mpg. This reliability is a plus for those who value consistency.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 03:48 AM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX includes advanced features such as full LED lighting, an adjustable handlebar, and lockable underseat storage. It also comes with Yamaha’s Smart Key system, allowing keyless operation of the scooter and its storage compartments. These features enhance both convenience and security.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 06:37 AM Yamaha has emphasized the sportbike-inspired handling of the 2025 XMAX, along with its nimble performance and advanced Y-Connect smartphone connectivity. This makes it an attractive option for urban commuters looking for a fun and stylish ride. I think this blend of performance and tech will appeal to many riders in India.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 07:28 AM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX retains its steel frame, 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels with Dunlop Scoot Smart tires, and 267mm front and 245mm rear disc brakes with ABS. These specifications ensure stability and safety on the road.

Wednesday, 12 March 2025 06:17 AM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX 300 Tech MAX+ offers a powerful 27.6 brake horsepower engine with Stop & Start technology, helping reduce fuel consumption in city traffic. Rider comfort got a boost with an electric adjustable windscreen and improved aerodynamics through redesigned fairings. I feel these improvements make the XMAX an excellent choice for urban commuters who want performance without sacrificing practicality.

Tuesday, 28 January 2025 06:38 AM Yamaha has updated the 2025 XMAX 300 model to meet Euro 5+ emission norms and introduced a large 4.2-inch TFT screen with navigation connectivity, enhancing tech appeal. On top of that, the scooter features liquid-cooled, 299cc engine and a V-belt CVT for smooth ride quality. The price in Europe is around Rs. 6.9 lakh equivalent, suggesting an upscale positioning. The combination of tech and emissions compliance shows Yamahas commitment to modern urban riding demands.

Tuesday, 28 January 2025 12:31 AM The 2025 XMAX’s lightweight construction at about 183 kg offers nimble handling suited for Indian city traffic. Combined with a 13.2L fuel tank, it promises reasonable range without frequent refueling stops. This makes it a practical choice for tech-savvy commuters who want easy maneuverability and decent mileage. I see this as a solid balance of performance and everyday usability.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 01:19 PM The 2025 Yamaha XMAX now features an electronically adjustable windscreen that can be moved nearly four inches vertically using a switch on the left handlebar. This allows riders of different heights to customize wind protection, making city rides more comfortable and stylish. The restyled nose and integrated turn signals also reduce wind buffeting for a quieter ride. I think this is a smart addition that enhances comfort and convenience significantly.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 10:16 AM Yamaha slightly raised the price of the 2025 XMAX to Rs. 5.3 lakh in India equivalent, while offering updated colors and a refined 292cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with fuel injection. The scooter retains its fully automatic CVT transmission and uses a sturdy steel frame for agility and durability. I believe this pricing is reasonable considering the upgrades and the premium scooter segment it competes in.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 09:36 AM The 2025 XMAX chassis includes a steel frame with non-adjustable front forks and rear shocks tuned for urban comfort, featuring Dunlop Scootsmart tires for grip and safety. Yamaha has focused on balancing performance with rider ease through this setup. I think this suspension setup is ideal for city roads and occasional highway use, offering both stability and comfort.

Thursday, 16 January 2025 12:36 AM Despite the higher price of the 2025 XMAX, Yamaha promises enhanced wind protection via the redesigned front end and spoiler features that reduce buffeting, making high-speed rides less tiring. The electronically adjustable windscreen further adds to this comfort. I feel these aerodynamic tweaks are very thoughtful for riders facing diverse Indian traffic and weather conditions.

Friday, 10 May 2024 06:25 PM Rumors within the Indian scooter market suggest Yamaha might introduce the 2025 XMAX model later this year, aiming to attract premium scooter buyers with updated tech and European styling. Given the rising interest in maxi scooters in India, Yamaha could fill a niche with this sporty yet comfy machine. I expect Yamaha’s timely launch could disrupt the urban scooter segment.
