Yamaha NMAX design
The 2021 NMAX appears to be quite huge, having large metal parts and a curvy style that appears to be one size larger than Yamaha Aerox, but it has a more delicate appearance that should attract a more adult audience.
Yamaha NMAX has a big and rounded front end, mostly hidden by the blobby front apron. A compact headlamp with dual-LED arrangement is incorporated with daylight running LEDs in the lower middle area of the front apron. The front apron’s side sections include several noticeable creases, which manage to give some aggression to the scooter’s frontal appearance. However, Yamaha NMAX’s overall front shape appears to be slightly exaggerated, which may have polarized opinions. Unfortunately, a large windscreen covers the upper middle portion of its front apron, which is not movable.
Like any traditional maxi-scooter, the NMAX has a split floorboard that flows and blends with well-structured body panels of rear-side. These panels appear to be relatively thin compared to the scooter’s total size, culminating in a broad LED tail light. The turn indicators are also integrated into the tail lamp cluster, and the pillion grab handle is large and comfortable to hold. The 2021 NMAX’s long well-padded seat includes a useful under-storage space of 23.5 liters.
A tiny but informative instrument console lies behind of lengthy handlebars of Yamaha NMAX, that has superior switchgear. The speedometer, tachometer, odometer, clock, trip meter and fuel gauge are all displayed on this unit. However, the fonts are excessively small and congested, especially when driving.
