The Yamaha TMAX Tech MAX is the flagship version of Yamaha’s benchmark sport scooter, taking everything that makes the standard TMAX such an accomplished machine and adding the most comprehensive electronics package Yamaha has fitted to one. It is built for riders who want the ultimate expression of sport-scooter performance and refuse to compromise on specification, the version of the TMAX built for owners who never want to think twice about equipment.
The mechanical heart is unchanged where it matters, a 562cc liquid-cooled parallel twin with a 70mm by 73mm bore and stroke, DOHC and four valves per cylinder, and a 10.9 to 1 compression ratio, producing 35kW at 7,500rpm and 55Nm of torque at 5,250rpm through a smooth V-belt automatic transmission. A dry sump lubrication system, a detail that sets the Tech MAX apart from the standard bike mechanically, keeps oil control consistent under hard use, while fuel consumption of 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres and emissions of 115 grams of CO2 per kilometre remain genuinely reasonable for the performance on offer.
A 7-inch TFT dash dominates the cockpit, with free Garmin navigation through Yamaha’s Motorize app bringing traffic, weather and points of interest directly to the display. Behind that sits a genuinely best-in-class electronics suite, Brake Control, Cruise Control, Traction Control and a two-position D-MODE let the rider tailor the TMAX’s character to the conditions or their mood. The same lightweight aluminium die-cast chassis, telescopic front fork and link-type rear suspension underpin the ride, with fifteen inch wheels shod in 120/70 and 160/60 rubber and dual 267mm front discs plus a 282mm rear disc providing strong, fade-free braking. At 221kg with an 800mm seat height and a 1,575mm wheelbase, it carries the extra equipment, along with underseat storage and a comfortable dual seat carried over from the standard bike, without feeling any less agile than the standard TMAX in traffic.
A 15 litre tank keeps real-world range sensible for longer trips. It suits riders who want the TMAX’s performance wrapped in the most connected, best-equipped package available, rather than settling for the standard bike’s specification. GT Motorcycles, your Yamaha dealer in Plymouth, has finance and test rides ready for riders across Devon and Cornwall wanting the full TMAX experience.
