Yamaha <\/a>have announced a new maxi scooter for 2017. The X-Max 300 will replace the X-Max 250<\/a> \u2013 and boasts a new engine and spec.<\/span><\/p>\n

Powering the scooter is a 292cc single-cylinder engine that features Blue Core technology which Yamaha claim yields higher performance while increasing fuel economy and reducing emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The scooter will be A2 licence friendly, putting out 27.6bhp at 7500rpm with a max torque<\/span> of 21 ft lb<\/span> at 5750 rpm.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blue Core technology<\/span> featured in the engine led to optimised valve shape and timing<\/span>, as well <\/span>as a compact hemispherical combustion chamber<\/span> with a high compression ratio. <\/span><\/p>\n

An offset cylinder design helps to minimise <\/span>mechanical losses <\/span>– and for increased cooling efficiency a DiASil cylinder is used with an <\/span>oil jet piston cooler<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make the X-Max still feel pokey, there is a new fuel injection system where the position and angle of the <\/span>12-hole injector<\/span> help give better acceleration and a higher top speed while also giving stronger low to mid speed torque than the previous 250cc model. <\/span><\/p>\n

The motor is housed in an all-new chassis too and is the first scooter to feature motorcycle style front forks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Traction control and ABS will come as standard on the scooter to bring it in line with Euro4 regulations that will come into effect in January 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

The X-Max will also come with practical features such as a <\/span>12-volt socket<\/span> located in the <\/span>glovebox<\/span> and one of the largest underseat storage compartments in<\/span> its class that will fit two full-face lids<\/span><\/p>\n

The X-Max will be available in three colours; Lunar Grey, Milky White and Quasar Bronze. It will be available from March next year but there\u2019s no word on price yet.<\/span><\/p>\n
