2024 Yamaha TMAX 560: Top 5 things to know
1. Sporty design and look
First of all, the style is really sporty. At the front, the scooter features a big apron with sharp-lined front fascia and a set of carefully integrated projector headlights. You also get a tall, electrically adjustable windshield, which is an add on to the overall look of the scooter.
If you look at the sides, the proportions of the scooter are quite large. There is a huge central tunnel that flows seamlessly into the rear of the scooter. The placement of the tail light and indicators is well done, and overall, the TMAX 560’s supersport-inspired design is quite stylish.
2. Hardware details
Underneath the wide bodywork is a die-cast aluminium twin-spar frame with USD front forks and an adjustable suspension at the rear. The scooter has 15-inch alloy wheels that are wrapped in a 120-section tire at the front and a 160-section tire at the rear. The 267mm twin discs at the front and a 282mm disc at the rear manage the braking duties.

5. Will it be launched in India?
Last year, a test mule of the Yamaha TMAX 560 was spotted, sparking rumours that Yamaha might consider launching it in India. The scooter was seen uncovered and had temporary Karnataka state registration plates in red. However, the scooter in question could be a private import and not a test unit from the company.
But considering the fact that the Indian market has already witnessed the emergence of large max-scooters like the BMW C400GT, which costs more than Rs 11 lakh, TMAX 560 could someday come to our country.
Moreover, the BMW C400GT has done well in terms of sales despite the high price. However, the Yamaha TMAX would cost a lot more if launched in India. Currently, the large max-scooter segment in India also includes Keeway Sixties 300i and Vieste 300, priced around Rs 3.3 lakh (ex-showroom).
