New shapes for the specimen Yamaha NMAX 125. A redefined design for 2021 amplified by the distinctive finish and details and linked to a new chassis, as well as a Blue Core engine compliant withEuro 5. Also highlighted is the adoption of Simple Communication Control Unit with functionality and connectivity for an enhanced experience.

Aesthetics

The renewed appearance appears sporty and refined, covered with colors Anodized Red, Phantom Blue o Power Gray. New headlights stand out “twin-eye” LED with an integrated position light that amplifies the dynamic vision of the vehicle, so you can also notice the integrated rear light and position indicators at the rear. The new screen offers optimized protection from wind and rain and the refined aerodynamics are equally functional, as indicated. There is also a varied range of original accessories to customize the scooter.

Technology

Among the solutions adopted, the use of one is mentioned Smart Key, which allows you to start the motorbike by simply holding the key in your jacket or bag.
This is also the first scooter with the Simple Communication Control Unit (SCCU) by Yamaha, a solution designed to inform the informed rider and amplify travel comfort. You can download Yamaha's free MyRide app to your smartphone by pairing your device with the SCCU via Bluetooth by approaching the unit. With the link, the app My Ride It allows the user complete access to a wide range of technical and management information, such as oil and battery status, fuel consumption and other indications. It also has a parking location function to find the scooter using the last connection position to the phone, as indicated.
Furthermore, through My Ride it is possible to access other features including Ride & Record with recorded data from previous trips, taking into account acceleration, speed, distance and more. This information can be shared with other MyRide users to learn about and share new routes. Once available at Yamaha dealers, potential buyers will be able to access a video tutorial showing how to use the MyRide app and make the most of the different features, as directed.

Various information relating to speed, distance, fuel level and temperature is displayed and, as highlighted, the instrumentation also includes icons that light up to indicate incoming messages, emails and calls, along with the phone's battery charge status.

Technology

An interesting aspect of the project is a new central tunnel, developed to accommodate a fuel tank 11 liters for a reported range of approximately 500 km. A setup that also allows for a centralized arrangement of masses for the benefit of handling and agility. The new chassis with the reconfigured bodywork offers, according to the indications, ergonomics as refined as aerodynamics. Thinking about safety, then, we highlight a traction control system useful in acceleration on wet or uneven road surfaces, with a rapid attenuation of the power transmitted to the rear wheel if a sign of skidding is detected. The braking system consists of front and rear disc brakes 230 mm andABS It is present as standard on both brakes.
Moving on to functionality, the saddle can be opened and under it the compartment can contain a helmet or other personal items. A lockable space that is weatherproof and designed to carry various items. Finally, a 12V socket allows you to keep your device charged, also mentioning another useful space in the back of the shield.
