Yamaha Reveals X-MAX 300

The Indian scooter market is dominated by 110cc and 125cc machines, but this isn't the case across the globe. Scooters are best suited for daily use in the urban environment, and maxi scooters are fun to ride as well. The latest entry in this segment is the new Yamaha X-MAX 300 which will replace the X-MAX 250. Yamaha will showcase the new X-MAX 300 at the 2016 EICMA motorcycle show in Italy next month. The design of the scooter is similar to that of the Yamaha N-MAX, which was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo. However, it features an aggressive front apron with twin LED headlights, a large windscreen and a chiselled mudguard.

The Yamaha X-MAX scores highly with respect to practicality as the under seat storage is gargantuan enough to hold two full face helmets and it also gets a power socket. The new scooter also gets equipped with keyless entry and a traction control system to safeguard the rider in tricky riding conditions. The instrument cluster is a semi-digital unit with a screen in the centre displaying fuel gauge, odometer, trip meter, engine temperature etc. Engine details haven’t been revealed but we know for a fact that the liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor is now Euro 4 emission norm compliant.

The frame of the scooter has been completely redesigned and it is now suspended on telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks. The Yamaha X-MAX 300 rides on a massive 15-inch wheel at front and a 14-inch wheel at the back. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes on both ends, while ABS is a standard fitment. The new scooter will go on sale by March, 2017 in Europe, while we can hope and wish that Yamaha gets the N-MAX scooter to India.
