The 2026 Yamaha NMax 155 has been launched in Malaysia at a price of MYR 11,498 (ex-showroom), which is approximately Rs 2,60,526. The only change for this model year is the introduction of two new colours – Icon Blue and Crystal Graphite. For reference, the previous iteration was available in Magma Black and Sky Blue.
Underneath, the NMax 155 is a maxi-scooter that is based on the same platform as the Aerox 155. While the latter looks quite sporty, the NMax takes a distinctly subtler, more refined approach. It features more curved bodywork with minimal graphics, making it look more touring-oriented. This focus on comfort is highlighted by its large windscreen and a pillion seat with thicker padding.
Powertrain, Chassis, and Dimensions
The scooter is powered by the same sophisticated 155cc liquid-cooled VVA (variable valve actuation) engine as the Aerox. However, in this configuration, it makes 15.4PS and 14.2Nm, which is 0.4PS and 0.3Nm more than its Indian counterpart. It rolls on sizable 13-inch alloy wheels wrapped in a 110-section front tyre and a 130-section rear, both tubeless. The suspension setup comprises a telescopic fork at the front and preload-adjustable twin rear shock absorbers. Apart from this, the scooter also gets disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard.
In terms of size, the Yamaha NMax 155 weighs 131kg (kerb), has a seat height of 775mm, and comes with a generous 7.1-litre fuel tank and 25 litres of underseat storage. To give you a perspective, the Aerox weighs 126kg (kerb), has a 790mm seat height, a 5.5-litre fuel tank, and 24.5-litre underseat storage. The feature list is quite similar to the Aerox and includes all-LED lighting, an LCD instrument console, a USB charging port, and even the convenient keyless ignition function.

Yamaha NMax 155 India Launch Possibility and Rivals
Yamaha India had showcased the NMax 155 at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo (Auto Expo), mainly to gauge market interest. If Yamaha India thinks there’s enough demand for this maxi-scooter, they might bring it here at a price similar to the Yamaha Aerox 155. If that ever happens, it would be rivalled by the likes of the Aprilia SXR 160, Hero Xoom 160, and the Suzuki Burgman.
