Getting a facelift and minor upgrade for next year is the 2025 Yamaha TMax Tech Max, priced at 14,300 pounds sterling (RM81,054). For comparison, in Malaysia, the Yamaha TMax Tech Max is priced at RM74,998 in 2024.
New for the TMax Tech Max is cornering ABS, which Yamaha calls Brake Control. Developed from Yamaha’s high performance supersport motorcycles, Brake Control delivers safe braking performance at varying speeds, lean angles and road conditions.
The headlight arrangement is also new and features dual LED headlight elements. The front bodywork is reshaped to give the TMax Tech Max a blower, more aggressive face.
Otherwise, no other changes with power coming from a Euro 5+ two-cylinder DOHC, 560 cc engine producing 47.6 hp at 7,500 rpm and 55.7 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm. Power goes to the rear wheel via automatic transmission and belt drive.
The 7-inch TFT-LCD screen is upgraded and offers a choice of three screen layouts. The screen now has enhanced connectivity with Yamaha’s MyRide app through the rider’s smartphone allowing riders to play music and view SMS, receive calls and email notifications.
The Yamaha MyRide app also provides a riding log, parking location, fuel consumption, routes ridden and more. There is also the Garmin Navigation app which provides turn-by-turn navigation on-screen which is free to use in the UK.
It is not known if distributor Hong Leong Yamaha will offer this service locally as the 2024 TMax Tech Max had it by subscription with the first month at RM27 in Malaysia. Other riding conveniences include smart key access for starting, under seat storage for one full-face helmet or two open-faced helmets, and fuel filler cap, as well as locking the centre stand.
Weight for the Tech Max is listed at 220 kg with 15-litres of fuel in the tank while seat height is set at 800 mm. In Europe, the TMax Tech Max is offered with two colour choices – Ceramic Grey and Dark Magma – with market entry expected March 2025.
