Work-life balance is an equation that we all struggle to solve. But help has just arrived in the shape of the XMAX 300. Equipped with motorcycle-type forks and high wheels, the compact chassis gives you agile sports handling with business class comfort - while the powerful and efficient new Blue Core engine has all the performance you need for fast commuting or weekend escapes.

Its sporty bodywork is built using pure MAX DNA for dynamic looks, and with a generous underseat storage for two full-face helmets as well as ABS and a Traction Control System fitted as standard, the XMAX 300 is built to give you what you need: MAX fun with MAX practicality. Add an X to the equation and release the power to make every day easier, simpler and more enjoyable.

PRICE: P.O.A

Powerful and Efficient Engine

The X-MAX's new 300cc engine has been designed using Yamaha's next generation Blue Core technology, whose fundamental aim is to achieve more power using less fuel. An offset cylinder design helps to minimise mechanical losses - and for increased cooling efficiency a DiASil cylinder is used with an oil jet piston cooler. There's also a specially designed forced air-cooling fan that helps to ensure more consistent engine running. The new 300cc engine is EU4 compliant, and aided by a newly designed fuel injection system, delivers strong acceleration and a high top speed together with low fuel consumption and a smooth and refined ride.

LED Triple Headlights

The X-MAX 300's high-tech looks have been shaped by the DNA from the top of the range TMAX, and the dynamic full LED twin-eye headlights give this sport scooter a modern and distinguished new face that gets noticed wherever you go. Both headlights are illuminated on low beam, and the third central light also comes on when the high beam is switched on, giving the X-MAX 300 a unique appearance.

Motorcycle-Type Forks

The TMAX was the first high performance maxi scooter to use motorcycle style front forks, and the new X-MAX 300 adopts the same layout. The all-new frame is equipped with a double clamp telescopic fork and twin rear shocks to ensure sporty motorcycle-like handling, together with improved surface feedback and good high-speed stability.

Multi-function Instruments

The new instrument panel features an analogue speedometer and tachometer giving clear and easy to understand information, and the central LCD multi-function display is larger than the previous model - making all information easy to see. For easier operation there's a control switch on the handlebars that allows you to switch between functions while riding, without taking your hand off the handlebars - and to charge or power various devices, the XMAX 300 is equipped with a convenient 12V outlet located in the left box.

New LED Taillight

The full LED headlights and LED position lights offers a number of advantages, including increased brilliance with reduced electrical consumption - and they also project a stylish and modern look that underlines the XMAX 300's premium quality and cutting edge technology. At the rear end the wraparound taillight also features LED bulbs as well as a new LED guide light, making the XMAX 300 highly visible to other road users, day and night.
