The Yamaha XMax gets some updates this year. We last tested the mid-size 300-class scooter in 2018, so let’s see what’s new on the 2025 Yamaha XMax.
- As you walk up to the 2025 Yamaha XMax, you’ll notice the new front end. The turn signals are now integrated into the fairing for a cleaner look and more protection from the wind for the rider. Also, the nose-cowling and spoiler have been updated for a quieter ride with less fatigue, thanks to reduced turbulence.
- The windscreen is now electronically adjustable. The windscreen moves vertically almost four inches, and the adjustment is stepless. The control for the windshield is integrated into the left switchgear.
- Sit on the 2025 Yamaha XMax, and you will find a broad new dash. The updated two-piece unit matches a colorful 4.2-inch TFT display with a crisp 3.2-inch LCD screen. Prominent readouts include a huge speed indicator, a stylish tachometer, a fuel gauge, a clock, ambient temperature, and other helpful information.
- While you’re waiting to ride, check out the new USB-C powered socket. You won’t have any excuse for arriving at your destination with a depleted battery in your smartphone.
- There’s a new muffler on the 2025 Yamaha XMax. Although the new muffler is a bit lighter than the previous design, overall, the new XMax weighs six pounds more than its predecessor, poking above the 400-pound mark. Also, the swingarm is new to accommodate the muffler update.
- The motor is unchanged. The dependable 292cc SOHC liquid-cooled thumper is back. Starting is electric, and the continuously variable belt-drive transmission features fully automatic operation—twist the throttle and go. However, fuel consumption is up by three miles per gallon for 2025, and now sits at 73 mpg.
- The 2025 Yamaha XMax has a new price and new color. The updates result in a modest price increase of $100 to $6299. In March, you will start seeing the new XMax in Midnight Black at your local Yamaha dealer.
