Yamaha NMax Turbo Crowned Touring King
Yamaha NMax Turbo has earned the title of the touring king in the scooter market. Once, naked sport bikes dominated long-distance travel in the mid-2000s, but the capabilities of automatic scooters have evolved significantly. They were originally designed for urban commuting, yet manufacturers have since focused on comfort, durability, and reliable performance for riders seeking to go further. The NMax Turbo fits this mold, proving itself capable of handling extended journeys through its specific features.

Comfort and Handling
Long-distance riding requires a comfortable machine, and the NMax Turbo delivers on this front. The scooter offers a flexible riding position with two footrests. For quick responses, the rider can place their feet on the lower deck, while relaxed cruising is possible with the feet extended. The handlebar feels natural, and the grips provide a secure, soft hold. The seat height sits at 770 mm, making it accessible for most riders, while the seat foam adds to the comfort.
Dimensions are moderate, measuring 1.935 x 740 x 1.200 mm with a wheelbase of 1.340 mm and a curb weight of 135 kg. These figures contribute to its agility. The scooter handled a challenging route from Enrekang to Tana Toraja, Sulawesi Selatan, with ease. It managed sharp corners and long curves without losing stability. The lightweight nature allows the rider to lean the bike confidently in consecutive turns. This agility stems from the chassis design and the suspension setup.
Front suspension uses a telescopic fork with soft damping, preventing bottoming out during bumps. The rear features a twin tube setup with adjustable preload, offering a firm character suitable for both daily commuting and touring. Braking uses single-piston calipers on disc brakes at both wheels. Safety is enhanced by the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). The 110/70-13 front and 130/70-13 rear tires provide the necessary grip for varied road conditions. Handling lincah dan ringan tak bisa terlepas dari kaki-kaki yang dimiliki Yamaha NMax Turbo.

Engine and Transmission
Endurance trips rely on a supportive engine, and the NMax Turbo’s 155.1 cc powerplant fits this requirement. It is a four-stroke, SOHC, four-valve engine with liquid cooling and Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). It produces 15.3 PS at 8,000 rpm and peaks torque at 14.2 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Power delivery is managed by the YECVT (Yamaha Electronic Continuous Variable Transmission). Jantung pacunya berspesifikasi 4-tak, SOHC 4 katup, pendingin cairan dengan VVA (Variable Valve Actuation).
Two riding modes are available: T (Town) and S (Sport). For flat, long roads, the T mode keeps engine revolutions stable and efficient. Conversely, the S mode raises engine noise for a more spirited feel. A unique feature is the Y-Shift button, which mimics a manual transmission. It offers three levels; selecting a higher level makes the engine scream louder and provides instant acceleration, useful for overtaking or climbing steep hills. On downhill slopes, this feature applies engine braking, making engine control feel more manual. Uniknya terdapat tombol Y-Shift, yang memungkinkan sensasi akselerasi spontan.
Storage and Pricing
Traveling long distances often involves carrying extra gear like raincoats, camera equipment, or spare parts. The NMax Turbo includes a 25-liter storage compartment under the seat. This space can accommodate a medium-sized drone, a raincoat, and a helmet cover. Additionally, two consoles under the handlebar—one open and one closed—offer convenient storage for water bottles. Dengan bagasi 25 liter, Yamaha NMax Turbo bisa mengakomodir kebutuhan tersebut. Kami sendiri bisa menyimpan tas drone ukuran sedang, jas hujan, sarung helm dan sejumlah barang lain di balik joknya.
Four variants are currently available. The standard Turbo starts at Rp39,465 million, followed by the Turbo Tech Max at Rp44,965 million and the Turbo Tech Max Special Livery at Rp45,365 million. The top-tier Turbo Tech Max Ultimate adds a Performance Damper to enhance stability and agility.
