Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience on larger, heavier automatic machines, though the TMAX remains approachable thanks to its scooter-style controls.
PurposeBuilt as a premium maxi-scooter that blends quick, car-free urban commuting with genuine weekend and light touring capability.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height and 227kg weight are manageable for most adult riders, but the mass is noticeable at low speed and when maneuvering off the bike.
CharacterA sporty, torquey twin-cylinder maxi-scooter that feels more like a motorcycle than a typical scooter, with confident handling and strong brakes backed by ABS.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, extreme top-speed thrills, or a lightweight, easily flickable city runabout.

2013 Yamaha TMAX Black Max ABS 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 2013 Yamaha TMAX Black Max ABS, 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.
