The Yamaha NMAX 125 Tech MAX 2025 is the latest iteration of Yamaha’s flagship 125cc scooter, carrying premium trim and extra equipment onto a platform that has already proven itself with commuters across the country. It is aimed at riders who want the newest version of the NMAX experience rather than settling for an older specification, with every detail brought fully up to date for the current model year, and it wears that update with real confidence rather than just a change of paint.
Power comes from a 125cc liquid-cooled single, with a 52mm by 58.7mm bore and stroke, SOHC, four valves, an 11.2 to 1 compression ratio, fuel injection and wet sump lubrication, producing 12.2PS (9kW) at 8,000rpm and 11.2Nm of torque at 6,000rpm through a smooth V-belt automatic transmission, so easy, frugal town riding remains the absolute priority. Fuel consumption of around 2.2 litres per 100km keeps running costs low for daily commuting, with TCI ignition, electric start and no gears or clutch to complicate the experience.
An underbone frame carries a telescopic fork with 100mm of travel and a twin-shock unit swing rear end with 91mm of travel, rolling on 110/70 front and 130/70 rear tyres, while hydraulic 230mm discs front and rear deliver confident, well-judged stopping power. At 132kg, with a 1,340mm wheelbase and 125mm of ground clearance, it remains light and easy to paddle at a standstill, and a 770mm seat height keeps it manageable in traffic for most riders, whatever their height or experience.
Keyless operation and Yamaha’s connectivity features are standard, presented here with an even more upmarket finish that sets this version apart from the base NMAX 125. A 7.1-litre tank, with CO2 emissions of 52g/km, keeps refuelling infrequent given the scooter’s efficiency. It is aimed at commuters who want the practicality of the NMAX with the highest specification currently available in the range, without waiting for a full model change, and it continues the model’s reputation as the scooter most riders recommend to friends looking for their first set of wheels. The Yamaha NMAX 125 Tech MAX 2025 is available now at GT Motorcycles, your Yamaha dealer in Plymouth, with finance and test rides arranged for riders across Devon and Cornwall.
