2017 · Scooter
The 2017 Yamaha Jupiter MX King 150 arrived as a significant player in the underbone scooter segment, continuing Yamaha's strong lineage in this popular category, particularly across Southeast Asian markets. Building on the success of its predecessors, the MX King 150 aimed to offer a more performance-oriented option within the scooter class, directly competing with models like the Honda Supra GTR 150 and the Suzuki Satria F150. This model year saw Yamaha refining its offering to appeal to riders seeking a blend of practicality and spirited riding.
At its core, the Jupiter MX King 150 2017 is powered by a robust 155.00 ccm (9.46 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a respectable 15.15 HP (11.1 kW) at 8500 RPM, providing ample thrust for its class. Torque figures stand at 13.80 Nm (1.4 kgf-m or 10.2 ft.lbs) arriving at 7000 RPM, ensuring responsive acceleration from low to mid-range. Weighing in at a modest 116.0 kg (255.7 pounds), the power-to-weight ratio contributes to its agile feel. Fuel capacity is rated at 4.20 litres (1.11 gallons), offering a decent range for daily commutes and short trips.
Riding the Jupiter MX King 150 is characterized by its nimble handling and a relatively comfortable, upright stance typical of a scooter. The 765 mm (30.1 inches) seat height, if adjustable at its lowest setting, makes it accessible for a wide range of riders, promoting confident foot placement at stops. Its light weight contributes to easy maneuverability through congested urban environments, a key requirement for its scooter classification. The chassis is tuned to provide a stable yet responsive ride, making it competent for daily commuting and even some spirited weekend excursions on winding roads.
The 2017 Yamaha Jupiter MX King 150 primarily targets urban commuters and younger riders who desire a stylish and capable scooter with a noticeable performance edge over standard automatic models. Its sporty aesthetics and engaging engine characteristics cater to those who appreciate a more dynamic riding experience without stepping up to a full-fledged sportbike. For riders seeking a practical daily commuter that can also deliver a bit of excitement on demand, the MX King 150 remains a compelling option in the competitive underbone scooter segment.
