HONG Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) melancarkan pra tayang Yamaha X-Max 250 untuk pasaran tempatan. Harap bersabar, abang, kakal dan adik skuter sekalian perlu menunggu hingga Mac nanti sebelum model itu dibenarkan berada di negara tercinta ini.

Jadi, buat masa sekarang, HLYM memutuskan untuk tidak mengumumkan harga X-Max 250. Menurut HLYM, harga skuter itu adalah di bawah RM25,000

Jangan cakap banyak, kita baca dulu 5 fakta pantas tentang Yamaha X-Max 250:

1.  ENJIN BERKUASA
Enjin 4-lejang 249cc SOHC penyejukan cecair berkuasa 20hp @ 7,500 rpm dan tork 21Nm (6,000rpm), manakala hantaran kuasa ke roda belakang disalurkan sistem transmisi V-Belt Automatik.

2. DIMENSI
Dimensi panjang (2160mm), lebar (790mm) dan tinggi (1385mm). Tinggi pelana 785mm agak tinggi, manakala kapasiti tangki minyak pula 13.2 liter dengan berat jentera 182kg. Jarak kelegaan tanah cukup baik dan tinggi, iaitu 125mm yang pasti memudahkan skuter Yamaha ini meredah sebarang bonggol dan laluan tidak rata.

3. SUSPENSI
Bahagian suspensi menggunakan fork teleskopik bersama travel 110mm di depan, dan dua unit absorber spring bersama travel 84mm (belakang). Tugas membrek diserahkan kepada cakera tunggal 267mm (depan) dan 240mm (belakang) berserta ciri Sistem Keselamatan Anti-Kunci (ABS).
Tayar depan bersaiz 120/70 R15 dan tayar belakang bersaiz 140/70 R14.

4. PENAMPILAN
Dilengkapi dua unit lampu depan LED dan dipadankan visor pengadang angin untuk keselesaan tunggangan jauh. Bahagian sisi terhidang ekzos besar dan ada pula ruang simpananc ukup luas yang mampu menampung dua helmet .

Tidak ketinggalan, soket mengecas atas papan pemuka. Seksyen belakang pula tersedia lampu henti gaya ramping, ditarik sepanjang sisi badan hingga belakang yang memberikan imej sporty.

Bahagian instrumen mengadunkan paduan panel digital dan analog yang dibahagikan kepada tiga kluster. Kiri dan kanan ialah panel analog, manakala tengah adalah panel digital.

5. CIRI KESELAMATAN
Selain ABS, skuter itu dipasangkan fungsi immobiliser dan kawalan jauh menerusi kunci pintar, dipanggil Sistem Smart Key Keyless Ignition.

RM25k for 250cc scooter is too expensive. Can compare with 150cc Nmax and point what's difference to justify RM15k differences?

Honda Forza 2017 selling at MYR25,800K pun x jalan. 
Honda NSS300 Forza 2017

Honda Forza 2016 selling at Mudah for 27,500 pun x jalan. 
HONDA NSS300 Forza 2016

So hopefully HLY has better pricing structure and better specs! :grin:

Betcha lots of current scooter/kapcai rider that just want to commute everyday looking for 250cc upgrade for a bit more oomph, but don't want big bulk like sym/elegan 250

Indonesian version had traction control, here only ABS? yet there selling cheaper?

HLYM kuat jack harga woo

Need B full license - that the stumbling block for most riders. 

another point would be .. the price is 25k+ for 300cc its a suicidal for them...

same as Kawa J300/ ZXR300, and the benelli TNT300...

and if u compare with other scooter, this xmax got few other scooter dont hv, keyless remote, TCS, ABS,
and since its Yamaha, much more expensive   
kymco downtown 250cc rm21k
kawasaki j300 rm31k ( based on kymco downtown 300)
honda nss300 rm27k
Aprilia SR Max 300  RM31k
SYM Maxsym 400i RM26k

Those model that you mentioned, except the Maxsym 400i are cold selling here in Malaysia.. Let see if this  Yamaha scoot can break the barrier..

if I am not mistaken, the majority of biker mentality in Malaysia once they need to fork more than 20k++ pricing barrier for a bike and scoot .. 1st thing they ask TOP SPEED..

Features come 2nd...

Aside note:

Durign the launch of Kymco XCT 400i and Maxsym 400i they sell within the same price range, but the capacity offered are higher (400cc or almost) ...and it sells...

u right. malaysian still dont like scooter.
if they have 20k, they like to buy normal big bike.

even compared within 150cc, those who buy nvx/nmax/pcx is just for fun, for works, already used big bike before or veteran just want to hv fun and some got people with legs/backhone injured etc.
im using nmax myself, most of people in the club group as i mentioned above.

Nmax already here for some time already.

Bro, can elaborate on the NMax service cost, pros and cons. I'm looking for it as well. Thks.

HLYM will be offering the 2018 Yamaha XMax 250 at RM22,498.50 (basic price with GST). There are two colour options to choose from; Metallic White and Rusty Bronze.
Powered by a 250cc, single-cylinder, SOHC engine with liquid-cooling, the engine produces 22.5hp @ 7,000rpm and 24.3Nm of torque @ 5,500rpm.

The XMax 250 is also the first motorcycle in its class which comes ready with a one-piece, compact and rigid forged crankshaft. This promises improved performance, efficiency as well as contributing to the bike’s overall light weight and low mechanical noise.

Other extra features include ABS, traction control, large underseat storage which can fit two full-face helmets, smart key system, all-round LED lights, full LCD instrument panel, 12V power outlet for charging, adjustable handlebars and windshields just to name a few.

Tempting.. thinking selling off my Vespa and upgrade to this.. or just wait for BMW C 400 X .. hmmm

Looks weird to me.

Don't forget the Modenas Elegan 250(based on Kymco 250i) 

Tempting.. thinking selling off my Vespa and upgrade to this.. or just wait for BMW C 400 X .. hmmm

Pergh!!           

was in my plan b4 xmax... but my brother said quality is very     

and deal breaker? no ABS even though there's ABS.

price rm 13k is temptintg

really? that elegan250 rebadged from kymco.
even kawasaki n bmw also rebadge from kymco.

or could be the parts is made locally?

c400 is also based on kymco like the c650 ?

Fit n finish very lousy since modenas CKD them in malaysia

U can check out reviews also many say same thing

Deswai u no see many elegan250 on road even though its cheap for a 250cc maxi scooter

not sure about that, got 1 friend use it and ride it to mae hong song. no complaints so far.
mybe just exterior issue. but reliability, i think should be ok.

and i see many elegan250 on the road btw. mybe we live diff area. haha

btw, how so far ur xmax?
im using nmax. when compared, the seat height long like very high.
want to upgrade but seem like not good for cilok jammed area.

yea, im like the underseat storage too.  my nmax just can put 1helmet n raincost.

the rear disk bigger mybe due scooter normally dont hv engine braking, thus require more braking power.

for me, i really need high windshield, if not. the wind can fell quite hard if crusing around 120kmj.

hv u try the top speed?
and can share the maintenance price?

price rm 13k is temptintg

2 things - 1. it's very very very tall

2. there's no hook for teh tarik ikat tepi

ya, very tall and wide

i have reduced the back end by 35mm, the front end by 20mm so i can finally flat foot one leg at traffic lights

as for cilok, i'm used to it since i have been using er6n in heavy traffic too, which is taller (but narrower) and heavier (by 30kg)

been using it for almost 9 days, i can say i am very satisfied

the underseat cargo is VERY VERY HUGE that i dont need to put any top box liao

the traction control really give you confidence during wet riding

heck the rear brake disc are larger than my er6n rear disc. LOL

the tall windshield, at first i thought was a hindrance, but is actually a good thing during night ride. u dont feel the cold air bashing at you

but i would definitely want to try a short windscreen later. not that expensive (rm100)

the only thing missing is a cargo hook for milo peng ikat tepi. haihs... 

Yeah, unfortunately Modenas had to drop something from the spec sheet so the ABS wasn't included in order to meet the $13K price. 

Unfortunately the XMax hasn't arrived to my local bike shop yet. When it does, I would like to sit and get a feel. See how tall it is. 

Hook no problem. Can always buy aftermarket CNC hook. 

lucifah How did you reduce it? 

Seriously nice scooter la!   

not just modena, the same kymco model in indon also has no ABS, which many ppl complained

the thing is, the ABS is already there

the sensor, the abs rings and wiring all there... but no ABS

LOL. really wtf

i got fed up with my local shop here. they say expensive bike so need to pay first then order

last2 i say i pay booking (they wanted rm 5k), then ask bila sampai, then they pulak tak berani commit. say maybe end of may

damn, i call another shop (500km away in kuching), pay rm1k deposit, arrive 2 weeks later shipped to me, at cheaper price with free shiping

LOL

LOL. really wtf

i dont think so bro,
for those model without ABS, got few thing missing. which to simply the brake system.
there is no ABS rotor@pump, ECU might be diff unit  etc. and this make cheaper the cost  of the bike.

like nmax, indonesia got ABS n non-ABS model. here in malaysia, we only got the non-ABS model.
i found out the ECU for both model is diff and non-ABS dont hv the ABS rotor/pump.

the speed sensor is used by ECU, so regardless got ABS/non-ABS, it still needed.

ah, yes. thats the hidden things we usually kenot see. but the abs ring and sensors are all there liao. LOL

but again, luckily they no hap ABS. or else i be riding a modenas now.

yes, most people will say it ABS ring, but it actually speed sensor, which for speedometer use also.   
in ABS, it need for ECU perform calculation( need accurate sensor for it and the ring sensor is pretty much accurate for checking the speed and tire locking up or skid) when it should trigger the ABS and it trigger the brake pulsation.

i think cheapest bike got ABS is pulsar rs200 rite ? or nvx ?
elegan250 already the cheapest 250 u can buy, if add ABS, the price will be more higher

ah, that's true also, but i u checked modenas up close, both front and rear have the abs / speed sensor ring, which means that it will have dual abs

yup, mybe it did have ABS on kymco model.but scrap by modenas to reduce cost.
elegan250 is based on kymco exciting 200 if i remember correctly.

full tank 12Liter rite? or 13?
so can go up to 350KM

fc around 26-29km/L. which not bad for 250cc.

but i guess this 1 not yet 1st service rite?

range until the first blinking2 fuel light



342km not bad. all ridden in urban traffic

   
May I ask urban traffic which location lucifah? 

sarawak lor...

Boss Justin.Loong
U test ?

Asked BEST offer RM23k

Asked BEST offer RM23k

No la. I'm not bike tester.
Need to ask patienceGNR 

Haaaaai I have not tested.
Only tested the new MT09 recently

adui...why HLY not yet give out the press bike to media? 

So how was the MT09?   

Got, a lot of local media reviewed already, many of them loved it
Myself quite busy recently la with a lot of other matters... I haven't found time to request to borrow yet.

Here's my review for MT-09

https://ipantas.com/index.php/2018/05/11/20...a-mt-09-review/

Yep, I've got my own portal, writing there with a few kopitiam bikers.

Yeah, I also think the X-Max is an awesome 250 scooter.
If I can afford it, I'll grab one for sure! 

Thanks for the review of the MT-09! Superb read!    :thumbsup:
And congrats on your own portal! Excellent! Kipidap! 

Thanks!
Side project je. We all loved riding, and I like shooting pics so do this lah haha.

Planning to buy a scooter for daily use and occasion light touring. Is Xmax 250 suitable? I read reviews say the windshield and handlebar is adjustable. Is it correct?

yes. both are adjustable
full tank i think can go up to 300-350km
top speed around 140-150kmh

good for daily ride or touring. only bad things about xmax is the seat height
