PurposeDesigned primarily as an urban and suburban commuter scooter, with enough capability for occasional short highway hops.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light 173 kg weight make it easy to manage for riders of most heights and physical strength.
CharacterA practical, comfortable, and easy-going maxi-scooter with sporty Iron Max styling, favoring convenience over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders seeking high-speed touring, off-road capability, or engaging sport-bike handling.

2016 Yamaha X-Max 125 Iron Max Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 792mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha X-Max 125 Iron Max, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
