At the heart of the 2010 Yamaha TMAX ABS scooter motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 42.9 HP (31.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 45 Nm (33.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 86 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the TMAX ABS measures 225 kg (496 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.24 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,580 mm (62.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
