Yamaha has unveiled two new X-Max scooters – with 250cc and 125cc engines.
The new X-Max’s have new rigid frames, increased storage capacity and a new dashboard design.
They echo the groundbreaking 500cc TMAX scooter design, with one-piece construction of the front cowling, with a fixed instrument panel inspired by a luxury sports car.
They also have a new footboard position, designed for easier and more flexible riding on longer journeys.
Both the X-MAX 250 and X-MAX 125 offer easy ground access and are designed for two-up riding.
Storage is also key. The re-designed double seat conceals more than enough storage space to accommodate two full-face helmets. Up front, there is an enlarged lockable glove compartment around the knee area.
The new frame is suspended on twin rear shocks – with 4 adjustable positions - and long-travel telescopic forks. It has 15inch front and 14inch rear tyres and twin-piston 267mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes.
The X- MAX 250 is available in white, black, slate and silver.
The X-MAX 125 is available in four colour finishes: blue, white, slate and black.
