Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least some scooter or automatic-transmission experience who want a quick, confidence-inspiring maxi-scooter.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a sporty, high-performance urban commuter maxi-scooter with enough punch for occasional weekend backroad fun.
Rider FitThe low 800mm seat height and automatic transmission make it accessible, though its 219kg weight means slower riders will notice the heft at a standstill.
CharacterA punchy, torquey twin-cylinder engine paired with sporty aluminium chassis and grippy 15-inch wheels gives this scooter genuine performance character rather than pure commuter blandness.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for off-road use or riders seeking a true long-distance touring machine with wind protection and luggage capacity beyond city and short-trip use.

2015 Yamaha Iron Max Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha Iron Max, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
