2019 · Scooter
The 2019 Yamaha TMAX SX represents a significant iteration in the long-standing TMAX maxi-scooter lineage, a model that has consistently redefined expectations for the scooter category. Introduced in 2001, the TMAX has always aimed to bridge the gap between motorcycle handling and scooter convenience. In its 2019 SX guise, it continued to offer a more sport-oriented aesthetic and feature set compared to its standard counterpart. Direct competitors in this premium scooter segment include models like the Honda X-ADV and the Suzuki Burgman 650, all vying for riders seeking a practical yet engaging two-wheeled experience.
At the heart of the 2019 TMAX SX is its 530.00 ccm (32.34 cubic inches) forward-inclined parallel-cylinder engine. This powerplant generates a robust 45.33 HP (33.1 kW) at 6750 RPM, providing ample thrust for both urban commuting and spirited touring. Torque figures stand at 53.00 Nm (5.4 kgf-m or 39.1 ft.lbs) peaking at 5250 RPM, ensuring strong acceleration from a standstill and confident overtaking. Fuel capacity is a generous 15.00 litres (3.96 gallons), allowing for extended rides between fill-ups. These specifications position the TMAX SX as a powerful contender within the scooter category, offering performance that often surprises those accustomed to smaller displacement scooters.
Riding characteristics of the TMAX SX lean towards a more motorcycle-like feel, thanks to its rigid frame and well-tuned suspension. The upright riding position, typical of a scooter, is complemented by a seat height of 800 mm (31.5 inches) at its lowest setting, accommodating a broad range of riders. Its chassis setup provides stable cornering and confident handling, distinguishing it from many of its scooter peers. Comfort is a key consideration, with good wind protection and a spacious rider triangle designed for longer journeys, making it a viable option for those who commute significant distances or enjoy weekend excursions.
The 2019 Yamaha TMAX SX is primarily aimed at experienced riders who appreciate the practicality and convenience of a scooter but refuse to compromise on performance and handling dynamics. It appeals to urban commuters seeking an efficient and agile machine to navigate congested streets, as well as touring enthusiasts looking for a comfortable and capable mount for longer trips. Its blend of scooter functionality with motorcycle-level engineering makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a premium, do-it-all two-wheeler. The TMAX SX continues to carve out its niche as a sophisticated, high-performance scooter.
