Built around Yamaha's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2019 Yamaha X-MAX 300 utilizes a 292 cc (17.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27.6 HP (20.2 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 29 Nm (21.4 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 94.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,250 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 X-MAX 300 measures 179 kg (395 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,540 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
