Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least some scooter or automatic-transmission experience, though the low seat height and intuitive CVT-style belt drive make it approachable for newer riders too.
PurposeDesigned as a premium maxi-scooter for fast, comfortable urban commuting with enough performance for occasional highway and light touring use.
Rider FitThe 216 kg weight and 800 mm seat height are manageable for most adult riders, though the mass is noticeable at a standstill and in low-speed maneuvers.
CharacterA refined, torquey twin-cylinder scooter that feels sporty and stable for its class, blending car-like ease of use with genuine cornering composure.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for off-road riding, dirt trails, or riders seeking a lightweight, budget commuter scooter.

2021 Yamaha TMAX DX 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 2021 Yamaha TMAX DX, 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.
