Among the numerous updates, the most important ones being the addition of traction control system and a Euro-IV compliant engine
Yamaha has introduced the 2018 version of its popular X-Max scooter in Europe. The scooter was first launched back in the year 2006 and has seen timely revisions since then. The X-Max has registered a total sale of over 1.4 lakh units since its inception.
Most importantly, the Yamaha X-max 125 for the year 2018 gets a Euro-IV compliant, single cylinder engine that displaces 125cc, as the name suggests. The fuel injected motor is now claimed to offer a more crisp throttle response besides a better fuel economy. Power and torque figures stand at 14 bhp and 12 Nm respectively.

Another significant update in the 2018 Yamaha X-Max 125 is the inclusion of a traction control system that was earlier seen in its elder siblings only. The braking power to this sporty scooter comes from a single 267mm disc brake up front that pairs with a 245mm disc brake for the rear. An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) comes standard.
The X-Max has been assisted with motorcycle inspired telescopic forks at the front along with twin spring shock absorbers for the rear. The scooter has been fitted with a bigger 15-inch alloy wheel up front that should improve its handling characteristics and stability.

The underseat storage in this scooter is also generous this time and it can now accommodate two full face helmets. The handlebar and wind screen are also fully adjustable which lets the rider set them as per his requirements.
Furthermore, the 2018 Yamaha X-Max 125 has been equipped with full LED twin headlamps with an LED tail lamp. The scooter will be available for sale in a total of four colour options namely dark grey, light grey, blue and red. The company will launch this scooter sometime during the coming autumn.
