Yamaha X-Max 125

Expert Review by Maxabout

Yamaha X-Max is a 125cc premium scooter that comes with liquid cooled and fuel injected motor, producing 14.1 BHP of max power and 11.94 Nm of torque. It comes mated to an automatic gearbox and comes with a huge 13.2 liters of fuel tank. It weighs quite high at 169 kg and carries a practical 140/70-14 rear wheel. The front wheel carries 267 mm disc brake while rear uses 245 mm disc, both mated to standard ABS.

It rivals Suzuki Access 125, Honda Activa 125, Vespa SXL 125 and Mahindra Gusto 125 but may never make it to the Indian market due to feasibility issues. These power scooters do not have a market here in India. The pricing of these machines will put some real performance bikes to shame and thus, number of buyers will witness a sharp decline. X-Max 125 looks more like a liter class scooter as it is huge and carries traditional Yamaha design that symbolizes aerodynamics and power.

Alloy wheel design looks inspired from bigger motorcycles while exhaust design is decent and not at all overdone. Front flaunts smoked headlights and huge windshield to protect the rider from windblast during occasional high speed rides. The huge size is described clearly by its dimensions. X-Max 125 measures 2160 mm in length, 790 mm in width and 1385 mm in height. Seat height is 792 mm while ground clearance on offer is just 125mm.

This is another factor that won’t make it an India specific product. This low ground clearance value will simply put rider into stress around huge speed breakers and potholes of the cities.Fuel tank capacity is quite impressive at 13.2 liters while most scooters of this class carry a 5 liter fuel tank. X-Max 125 is internationally available in Matt Grey, Midnight Black and Absolute White shade.
