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.
