New TMAX Tech MAX revealed

For 2025 the TMAX Tech MAX features a dynamic new look with a sharper front end, as well as upgraded rider’s assist and a more sophisticated dash – and a premium finish that underlines its status as the ultimate Yamaha sport scooter.

Low emission 560cc twin cylinder engine
The TMAX is driven by a compact and powerful engine giving spirited sports performance via an easy-to-use automatic transmission. The 560cc twin cylinder engine develops maximum power of 47bhp and features a special horizontally opposed reciprocating piston balancer mechanism that ensures a super smooth ride, making it ideal in a variety of riding situations – whether commuting into work through congested urban streets or heading home on the highway.

For 2025 the engine and exhaust have been refined for lower emissions. With maximum power produced at 7000 rpm and maximum torque at 5250 rpm, TMAX is engineered to deliver an exciting and enjoyable ride wherever its rider decides to go, seven days a week.

The TMAX’s fully automatic transmission drives through a low maintenance V-belt for super smooth operation at all speeds. For an even higher level of ride quality the centrifugal clutch settings are revised for seamless acceleration from standstill – and the new intake funnel design produces a clearer and gentler sound when the throttle is fully open.

Enhanced electronic rider’s assist
Everything about the TMAX is designed to offer the rider the very highest levels of comfort, control and riding enjoyment. This iconic sport scooter has always been at the cutting edge of styling and technology, and the new model is equipped with a new Brake Control system – more commonly known as cornering ABS.

Developed originally for Yamaha’s high performance Supersport motorcycles, Brake Control (BC) works with the TMAX’s Anti-lock Braking System to help minimise brake slip during hard braking or when riding on low-traction surfaces. Activated by an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), the BC system aims to deliver the most comfortable braking performance at varying speeds, lean angles and road conditions.

TMAX is also equipped with D-MODE which enables the rider to select the desired engine power character to suit urban or highway riding, as well as Traction Control that moderates power to the rear wheel on loose or slippery surfaces. The addition of Brake Control complements this sport scooter’s existing package of electronic control technology to give the rider a higher level of confidence in a variety of weather and road surface conditions.

Dynamic new dual eye headlights and refined bodywork
The 2025 model features a dynamic new face with restyled dual eye headlights and built in position lights that give a sportier and more refined appearance that is instantly recognisable as being TMAX – while at the same time bringing a stronger new image to this outstanding sport scooter. The TMAX’s front bodywork is also new and is created to complement the latest dual eye headlights to give a new generation look and feel that is slightly shorter than previously, giving a simple and sharp silhouette with a more compact mass centralised look.

Together with the iconic boomerang sidepanels, upswept right side exhaust, sculpted dual seat and athletic sports bodywork, the new face and front bodywork retain this legendary model’s essential character and pure sports DNA that have made it one of the most popular powered two wheelers built by Yamaha.

Upgraded 7-inch screen with enhanced connectivity
The 7-inch TFT dash is upgraded and offers a choice of three screen layouts, enabling the TMAX rider to select the option that focuses on the information that is most significant to them. Enhanced connectivity on the latest model via the MyRide app also enables riders to play music and view SMS, receive calls and email notifications.

The MyRide app also gives access to numerous functions and services such as a riding log, parking location, fuel consumption, routes ridden and more, adding another dimension to the riding experience and enabling the owner to make informed decisions.

Garmin Navigation*
TMAX riders can access full map Garmin Navigation* through the Garmin Motorize App that’s available to download on an Apple or Android phone*. In addition to the navigation functions this app also enables TMAX riders to view information regarding traffic, weather and POIs, making it easier and more effective to plan every journey.

*Full map Garmin Navigation is available free of charge but is not offered in all countries. Some navigation features are not available in all countries.

First class riding quality and comfort
TMAX was the first large capacity high performance scooter to adopt a motorcycle style chassis, and this feature contributes significantly to the first-class ride quality. Featuring motorcycle style upside down front forks and a long swingarm for added stability – and benefitting from a compact engine fitted directly into the chassis – TMAX riders can experience the precise handling performance of a sports motorcycle without losing the benefits that come with a scooter.

The lightweight twin spar aluminium frame offers motorcycle strength and agility for excellent roadholding and cornering – while its ‘step thru’ layout gives the ease and convenience of a scooter, making the TMAX the most convenient and attractive choice for longer distance commuting and weekend touring. Equipped with wind beating bodywork and a sports screen – as well as a sculpted dual seat – the TMAX has few rivals when it comes to ride quality and comfort.

Large diameter disc brakes, lightweight spin forged wheels
TMAX is equipped with large diameter 267mm front disc brakes and a 282mm diameter rear disc brake with ABS and the latest Brake Control system that give excellent controllability in varying conditions. Lightweight spin forged wheels minimise the unsprung weight for responsive handling, and the 120/70-15 front tyre and wide 160/60-15 rear tyre provide high levels of traction that make the TMAX a superb performer in the city and on the highway.

Easy and functional
TMAX is designed for everyone who appreciates style, performance, convenience and functionality.  A large underseat storage space can accommodate one full-face helmet or two jet helmets - depending on their size and shape - and the Smart Key ignition enables keyless operation of the ignition, seat, fuel tank and mainstand.

Unique TMAX Tech MAX features
Designed for those riders who want the very best, the TMAX Tech MAX is equipped with a range of additional technology as well as unique features and an exclusive finish that underline its status as the ultimate Yamaha Sport Scooter.

With a range of 110mm, the electrically adjustable screen enables riders to move the screen up and down at the press of a button to suit their riding style and speed. Equipped with heated grips and a heated seat, this ultimate Sport Scooter is designed for year-round use.

In addition to the D-MODE, Traction Control and new Brake Control, the TMAX Tech MAX is also equipped with Cruise Control, making it ideally suited to longer trips. Another TMAX Tech MAX exclusive feature is the adjustable rear suspension, that enables riders to dial in the appropriate settings to suit different loads.

For added convenience there’s a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that alerts the rider to any irregularities in front or rear tyre pressure levels, and special backlit handlebar switches and machined wheels reinforce the premium appeal of the TMAX Tech MAX.

This state of the art Sport Scooter is available in Ceramic Grey and Dark Magma, and these two colours underscore its exclusivity and reinforce the overall feeling of quality, style and dynamism.
