2022 Yamaha NMax 155 goes official with more features
Japanese automaker Yamaha has introduced the 2022 version of the NMax 155 maxi-style scooter in the Chinese market. The vehicle now gets gas-charged dual rear shock absorbers as well as a Traction Control System (TCS). It is backed by the same 155cc, liquid-cooled engine that fuels the Aerox 155 and R15. It puts out a maximum power of 15.14hp.
Why does this story matter?
- The 2022 Yamaha NMax 155 offers good looks, several electronic riding aids, and decent performance. It should attract a lot of buyers in the Chinese market.
- It is unclear whether the two-wheeler will arrive in India. Provided it does, it will take on rivals such as the Suzuki Burgman Street, Keeway Vieste 300, and the Aprilia SXR 160.
The scooter has a USB port and windscreen
The 2022 Yamaha NMax 155 has a headlight-mounted front apron, DRLs mounted on the fairings, a raised windscreen, a single-piece seat with a pillion grab rail, and a side-mounted exhaust. The maxi-scooter packs an all-LED setup for lighting, a Bluetooth-enabled digital instrument console, a USB charging socket, and rides on designer blacked-out wheels. It is offered in seven color options.
It runs on a 15hp, 155cc engine
The new Yamaha NMax 155 maxi-scooter draws power from a 155cc, liquid-cooled engine sourced from the Aerox 155. The mill generates a maximum power of 15.14hp and a peak torque of 13.7Nm.
It gets dual-channel ABS
To ensure the safety of the rider, the 2022 Yamaha NMax 155 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS and traction control to avoid skidding while braking. Suspension duties on the two-wheeler are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front end and gas-charged twin shock absorbers on the rear end.
