Positioned in Yamaha's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Yamaha TMAX utilizes a 530 cc (32.3 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45.9 HP (33.5 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 52.3 Nm (38.6 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 86.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (6,750 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 measures 219 kg (483 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.77 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,580 mm (62.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.14-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 303 km (188 miles) between fill-ups.
