Traction Control System (TCS)
A Traction Control System (TCS) comes as standard equipment for this scooter. TCS can be seen only in advanced motorcycle used for heavy duty purposes like off-roading and track racing, but modern vehicles incorporate this system as standard nowadays and Yamaha has given this feature to this scooter.
This advanced electronic system prevents the rear tyre from losing traction by reducing the drive to the wheel if the sensors detect any slip - giving added levels of confidence and feelings of safety on slippery surfaces. The TCS system provides more confidence to the rider and provides more comfort in all terrains and road conditions.

Engine
The X-MAX 300 is powered by a powerful and efficient 292 CC Single cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valves engine capable of producing 2706 bhp @ 7,250 rpm and a healthy torque of 29.0 Nm @ 5,750 rpm. The engine uses the Blue Core technology and is EU4 compliant. The Blue Core technology helps the engine to produce more power using less fuel. So the X-MAX 300 engine features optimised valve shapes, a compact combustion chamber and optimised timing.
These measures reduce power losses and increase efficiency, giving you better performance and lower fuel bills from this liquid-cooled 300cc engine!
Braking and Suspension
Taking its cue from the high-performance TMAX, the X-MAX 300 is equipped with motorcycle style telescopic front forks that deliver a comfortable ride with easy steering and agile handling. Giving plenty of front wheel travel, these high-specification forks soak up bumps and give motorcycle levels of handling and stability.
The X-MAX 300 is designed to handle everything from commuting through to leisure riding and weekend touring. For stable handling and good traction, it's fitted with lightweight large diameter alloy wheels with a 120/70-15 front tyre and a wide 140/70-14 rear tyre - while braking power is provided by an ABS-equipped 267mm front disc and 240mm rear disc.
Colour and Availability
The Yamaha X-MAX 300 is available in three shades; Quasar Bronze, Milky White and Matt Grey. The Yamaha X-MAX 300 is currently not available in India as the indian market is getting used to powerful commuters, the company is yet to say about the official launch of X-MAX 300. But, with the ever increasing popularity of scooter segments in India and the arrival of scooters like the powerful Aprilia SR 150 and the likes, there is a chance for Yamaha to introduce this powerful and stylish urban commuter to the India market. We can hope that Yamaha will think of showcasing the X-MAX 300 at the upcoming 2018 Auto Expo.
