SMAX

This Yamaha 155cc sporty scooter was introduced in Taiwan in the early 2010s as part of the MAX family, positioned as a more aggressive, premium alternative to conventional commuter scooters. It arrived with Yamaha’s liquid-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder 155cc platform and a chassis setup aimed at combining everyday usability with sharper handling and a more substantial highway feel than smaller city scooters. In Yamaha’s local market materials, it was presented as a flagship-style sport scooter, and it became one of the best-known members of the brand’s MAX lineup in Asia. The nameplate received regular model-year updates and cosmetic refreshes over its life, while continuing to serve as a practical maxi-scooter with a distinctly sporty image. Based on Yamaha’s Taiwanese recall records and later model-year references, production spanned into the early 2021 model period before ending, after which the nameplate disappeared from the active lineup.
