Shown ahead of the EICMA show in Milan, Italy is the
2020 Yamaha TMax 560 super scooter. The TMax is a popular scooter and car
substitute in Europe and now enters the seventh generation.
Amongst changes made to next year’s TMax 560 is a
bigger engine, going up in size from 530 cc to 560 cc. However, engine power
only takes a 2 hp jump, producing 47.6 hp at 7,500 rpm and 55.7 Nm of torque at
5,250 rpm with power getting to the ground via automatic transmission and belt
drive.
While the bodywork looks much the same as the
previous TMax 500, the new generation TMax 560 sports some small but
significant changes. There include turn signals integrated into the headlights
as well as a new tail light unit.
The seat has been
redesigned to improve ergonomics on the TMax and increase comfort. Other items
carried over from the outgoing TMax include twin 267 mm diameter brake discs in
front, 15-inch wheels and 15-litre fuel tank.
Besides the new TMax, Yamaha is releasing another
version, the sportier TMax Tech Max. Upgrades of the Tech Max over the base
TMax 560 include electrically controlled windshield, cruise control, heated
grips, adjustable rear suspension and TMax Connect smartphone connectivity.
