As for the details that shape this 25th Anniversary Special Edition, we have, for example, a red 25th Anniversary seat cover with 3D logos. Double red stitching on the sides and rear of the seat underlines the attention to detail and the unique 3D red chrome TMAX logos on the rear body panels complement the red seat.
Below this we find a large illuminated cargo space that can fit a full face helmet or two jet helmets, depending on the size and shape. The hole is protected from the elements, making it also an ideal place to carry personal items or other belongings. Likewise, this 25th Anniversary Special Edition is presented in a special color combination, where the main body is finished in Dark Gray Metallic mattewhile the famous boomerangs come in Light Gray Metallic matte.
Additionally, this 25th Anniversary Special Edition model is also equipped with an engine protection cover that includes a clear anodized ring. The 15-inch alloy wheels have also received a special treatment, and the black finish contrasts with the machined edges of the wheels, emphasizing the premium features of this high-performance maxi scooter.
In the mechanical section, the TMAX 25th Anniversary Special Edition represents the most sophisticated version of the model so far. With a power of 35 kW, the compact 560 cc 2-cylinder EURO5+ engine, equipped with Sport and Touring modes, offers smooth and powerful performance with continuous acceleration, making it a high-performance engine both on the open road and in the city.
For the cycle part, the TMAX Special Edition 25th Anniversary Yamaha relies on its latest generation die-cast aluminum double beam chassis. The scooter’s inverted motorcycle-style fork and long swingarm provide top-notch stability with easy agility and superior riding comfort; Dual 267mm front discs and 282mm rear discs deliver strong, easy-to-control and confidence-inspiring braking.
This is also helped by refined ergonomics and a large footrest area, which promotes a flexible driving position. In addition, the driving position can be adjusted thanks to the adjustable backrest of the exclusive dark red pilot’s seat. To all of the above we must add that this TMAX 25th Anniversary Special Edition comes equipped with some of the most avant-garde electronic control technologies, designed to offer greater control capacity in different driving conditions.
The ABS braking system benefits from Yamaha’s Brake Control (BC) system, which constantly monitors front and rear wheel speeds and modulates brake pressure to ensure optimal control. D-MODE allows the rider to choose between Sport or Touring engine operating modes depending on their mood and driving conditions, while traction control provides an additional feeling of confidence when the road is rough or slippery.
Pilots can choose between three different styles of the 7″ TFT display, depending on the information they want to prioritize. This 9th generation TMAX offers improved connectivity with the MyRide app, allowing users to stay in touch with friends, family or work. In addition, the connected instrumentation also offers full access to a wide range of useful functions and services, such as a trip log, fuel consumption, the location of the parked motorcycle and much more.
Its keyless system allows the rider to start the engine, unlock the seat, release the center stand and open the tank lid as long as they have the Smart Key with them.
