The Yamaha TMax 560, the Euro 5 successor
to the Yamaha TMax 530, has been officially revealed. It has two variants and
will be launched internationally on 8 May 2020. The TMax 560 looks similar to
the TMax 530. However, there are some visual differences on the new sports
scooter. The front side turn signals of the Yamaha TMax 560 are quite compact
and feature LEDs. The headlight has the same shape but it features 4 LEDs.
The design of the rear cowl is different
and it gives the scooter a sportier look. The side cowl is different as well.
The exhaust, unlike that of the old model, is an all-black unit. The biggest
change has to be the tail light, which is a new, LED unit that creates a
T-shape.
Powering the new TMax is a 562 cc
twin-cylinder, DOHC engine. This water-cooled mill churns out 48 PS of maximum power
and 56 Nm of peak torque. Yamaha has also included some other changes which
lead to reduced engine vibrations and improved acceleration. There are two
variants of the Yamaha TMax 560 - Standard and Tech Max. The latter gets
additional features like cruise control, electronically adjustable front
windscreen, and heated hand grip and seat.
The standard variant of the new Yamaha
TMax 560 has been priced at JPY 1,160,000 and is offered in
only Matte Blueish Grey Metallic colour. On the other hand, the Yamaha TMax 560
Tech Max costs JPY 1,290,000 and is offered in two colour
options - Matte Greenish Grey and Matte Dark Grey.
