Yamaha TMAX 2022 and Tech MAX

 Yamaha TMAX 2022 and Tech MAX

 The redesign of the Yamaha TMAX is always a highlight for the Japanese manufacturer. And for good reason, this model is a regular top 10 in sales in France, even a Top 5 sometimes. It is the best-selling maxi scooter in France and Europe. A success that no other manufacturer has been able to challenge the Japanese leader since 2001. The Yamaha TMAX also has the advantage of appealing to dynamic urban executives, busy entrepreneurs, commuting enthusiasts for 5/7 journeys, but its image is sometimes degraded by its popularity in the northern districts... Let's face it, this does not ultimately penalize its sales, which remain well above the competition. The TMAX is a real phenomenon, just like the BMW R1250GS for example can be in big trails. This eighth generation is taking a step forward. Yamaha TMAX 2022: it receives a style overhaul for more finesse and sportiness (yeah…), a modern and connected dashboard (finally!?!), suspensions dedicated to more sportiness (what about comfort?), but no major mechanical evolution except strict compliance with Euro5. In fact, price inflation should remain moderate, hopefully!
