The XMAX gets a new adjustable windscreen for 2025.

New to the XMAX is an electrically adjustable windscreen that offers 4 inches of stepless adjustment. The new screen can be adjusted on-the-fly through a switch on the left side of the handlebar. The front end has been restyled and includes integrated turnsignals.

The redesigned muffler reduces weight.

To reduce weight, the XMAX also features a redesigned muffler that Yamaha says improves mass centralization. The swingarm has been reworked to accommodate the new muffler. Additionally, the traction control system has been remapped for “more refined intervention characteristics.”

Providing enhanced convenience, the scooter gets a new instrument panel with both a 4.2-inch TFT screen and a 3.2-inch LCD screen combined into a single interface, with the LCD’s backlighting updated to be brighter than before. Lastly, a new USB-C charging port now comes as a standard feature. 

Everything else remains the same. The XMAX is powered by a liquid-cooled 292cc single-cylinder engine with a CVT transmission. It has a steel frame, 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels shod in Dunlop Scoot Smart tires, and 267mm front and 245mm rear disc brakes with ABS. Also included are an adjustable handlebar, lockable underseat storage, and full LED lighting. Its wet weight is a claimed 403 lb, and its seat height is 31.3 inches. Yamaha claims a fuel efficiency of 73 mpg, netting a range of nearly 250 miles out of its 3.4-gallon fuel tank.

The XMAX also comes with Yamaha’s Smart Key system, which allows the rider to start the scooter and access the storage compartments and fuel tank, as well as lock the handlebar, without needing to insert a key.
