With a range of premium models from the iconic TMAX through to the XMAX 300 and XMAX 125, Yamaha Sport Scooters have consistently been amongst the best-sellers in their categories.

For 2025 Yamaha’s market leading Sport Scooter range gets a significant boost with the addition of two dynamic new models to Yamaha’s leading line up: NMAX 125 and NMAX 125 Tech MAX.

New NMAX 125 and NMAX 125 Tech MAX: Join the MAX!
Part of the iconic MAX family
NMAX 125 adds another dimension to the Sport Scooter class by opening up this exciting category to everyone – from new B-license1 car drivers through to returning riders who are seeking a better way to move in the city. Its user-friendly design and sporty MAX family style – reinforced by a strong specification and excellent value for money – make this new lightweight Sport Scooter an ideal choice for anyone who is looking for real freedom to go where they want, when they want.
Ever since Yamaha invented the Sport Scooter category with the launch of the legendary TMAX nearly 25 years ago the MAX line has led the market in terms of style, quality and desirability. The affordable new NMAX 125 gives the widest range of potential customers the opportunity to be a part of the MAX family and also to experience a real taste of how a Yamaha Sport Scooter will transform their daily commute and make the city a smaller and more accessible place.
Special mix of style, practicality and value
The NMAX 125 comes with a truly special mix of style, practicality and economy that set it apart. Yamaha’s MAX models have been at the cutting edge of Sport Scooter design and technology for longer than any other brand – and the sharper looks, impressive specification and easy-to-use character of the new NMAX 125 have been shaped by the genetic material inherited from the legendary TMAX.
New dual eye projector headlights with integrated LED flashers as well as a sleek LED taillight give the NMAX 125 a strong and dynamic look that is pure MAX. Its restyled body gives this head-turning lightweight a sharper, tighter and sportier look, making it the ultimate choice for any rider looking for an enjoyable, fashionable and efficient way to move in the city. The newly styled front fairing and sports screen deflect wind for a comfortable ride, ensuring the best possible ride for this versatile new Sport Scooter.
Built for the city
With its spacious legroom and adaptable riding position – as well as relaxed ergonomics, refined bodywork and comfortable suspension – NMAX 125 is designed to excel as a daily urban commuter. Underseat storage can accommodate a helmet (depending on shape and size), and there’s an open left front pocket and front right pocket with a weatherproof lid.
New and experienced riders will appreciate the confident roadholding characteristics that make the NMAX 125 such an enjoyable way to move – and the 230mm diameter front and rear discs – both with ABS – deliver smooth and comfortable braking on different types of surfaces.
For a confident ride on low traction surfaces the Traction Control System (TCS) automatically adjusts power levels to the rear wheel to help prevent wheel slip – and the lightweight alloy 13-inch wheels are fitted with a wide 130/70-13 rear tyre and 110/70-13 front tyre that offer plenty of grip, making this an ideal all-season urban commuter.
Responsive and economical 125cc EURO5+ engine
Developed using Yamaha’s advanced Blue Core technology, the economical 125cc EURO5+ engine is equipped with Start & Stop technology that minimizes fuel consumption for reduced emissions and lower running costs. NMAX 125’s excellent fuel efficiency not only makes this one of the most cost effective ways to move – it also enables the 7.1 litre fuel tank to give around 300km2 between refills.
The 125cc 4-stroke engine’s quiet and responsive performance provides smooth and seamless ‘twist and go’ acceleration, making NMAX 125 an ideal partner in the city and on the open road for everyone – from B-license1 car drivers to seasoned riders who are all looking for an economical, enjoyable and efficient way to move.
LCD instruments
Connected instruments on the NMAX 125 enable the rider to stay informed. After downloading the Yamaha MyRide app to their smartphone, riders can view notifications of incoming calls, emails and SMS messages on the 4.2-inch LCD dash.
Smart Key keyless ignition makes life easier by eliminating the need to insert a conventional key into the ignition, and a USB-C charger in the left front pocket keeps devices topped up.
