The electronic control CVT on the new NMAX155 ABS is a unique Yamaha system that allows the rider to change the speed change ratio. In mechanical CVTs, you can get a dynamic sense of driving, such as a manual transmission motorcycle, which was difficult to feel.
It also seeks to improve convenience by cutting-edge technologies such as engines honed with basic performance and durability, suspension setting changes, innovative high-end styling, and new two-screen displays and smartphone connection functions.
The new YECVT is characterized by a driving mode switching function and a shift down function.By changing the deceleration ratio at an arbitrary timing, driving characteristics such as shift down of a manual mission are realized.
When you overtake the vehicle in front of you, want to decelerate using the engine brake on a long downhill road, or when you escape from the corner entry deceleration, you expand the range of rider operation in acceleration, providing the pleasure of driving.
Shift down to up to three steps can be performed depending on the acceleration/deceleration state by operating the shift button or the deployment of the throttle.In addition, the driving mode can be selected as a T mode that allows smooth driving in the city and an S mode that provides good response driving on the winding road in consideration of fuel economy.
With YECVT, engine performance and cooling efficiency have also improved. The tensioner of the cam chain was changed to hydraulic to reduce friction.The NMAX, which was first introduced in 2015, had a displacement of 125cc and 155cc. Only 125cc came into Korea for the first time, but 155cc was added in 2023.
With the full model change in 2022, the newly designed new frame is equipped with a variable valve type blue core engine that meets the Euro 5 standard.While taking advantage of the existing design, LED was newly adopted for front and rear lamps including headlights. We also designed dedicated seagull-shaped side panels, which are common to the MAX series.
System-based displays have also evolved into collars. The two-channel ABS, which has been well received since the existing model, was installed as a standard.In addition, this smart key, traction control, and DC cigar jack have been newly adopted to greatly improve safety and convenience,
By sharing the driving condition of the vehicle and the rider's driving style on the dedicated cloud over the Internet, the app 'YAMAHA Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect)' can be used to receive engine oil replacement timing and battery condition in real time through a smartphone.
