This is the best review I've seen about the Nmax 2021. Very specific and well done ✅
Wow, thanks for your comment! Appreciate it!
Great Testride, öile evrytime. Thx for your video!
Thank you too! :)
Very informative. thanks, friend. bought mine today so I needed this video before my first ride :)
Glad I could help! Take care and congrats to your new scooter!
Good review bro 💪🏻👍
Appreciate it! Take care!
Nice review 👌
Thank you 🙂
Nice review my friend. Recorded on osmo pocket :) Ride Safe
Hello Spitfire, thanks for stopping by in my part of the world :) Greetings to Portugal!
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks for this video I did have the pcx 2021 ordered but I changed my mind and ordered the nmax due to be delivered Friday I can’t wait I do hope I don’t regret it , this is my first petrol scooter I’m coming from an electric moped so I’m hoping I will get to grips with it easily and be able to control it with ease
Hello, you are switching from electric to petrol? Isn't that supposed to be the other way around? :) Thanks for watching!
@@BenalRida my old bike is an Ecooter e1r electric moped I past my test on this cbt but it have been nothing but problem problem with that bike so I now ordered my first petrol bike Yamaha nmax
@@gazjenkins1900 I want to switch from an electric Niu N1S to the NMAX 125. I have nothing than problems with the roller, too.
You won't regret it trust me
@@MaVia9467 I was almost about to get the NIU N-series but ended up with a 50cc vespa primavera that has soon passed 15,000km. I will soon sell it but it has been faultless, next scooter will probably be something like the NMAX. What kind of problems did you have with your NIU?
Looks like the new PCX 2022 model has rear disc brake now. Unfortunately though it still comes with “motocycle” handlebars which i hate cause i feel like they are misplaced on a scooter which should be plastic all around. Honds PCX handlebars and buttons and switches looks exactly like on my CB500Xa. Nobody metions it so maybe its just me. Nmax wins on that point but something off with the front, a bit too classy looking whereas the PCX looks more aggresive just lacking a electric wind screen so you could raise it on long distances
The 125 pcx 2022 doesn't have abs. It's still drum. The only thing thats new for the pcx is different colors. Everything else is the same.
Great review , one of the best for nmax 125 on you tube. Very detailed good job.
Im in between the nmax 125 or medley 125 both 2021. Im not sure really what to take. Medley is 100e cheaper in my country
Thanks! 👍 I would shoot for the NMAX :)
3:46 Some LED light indicators/turn signals, in new vehicles and motorcycles, have had visibility problems.
Meaning you could not see the "turned on" indicators from certain angles, especially in bright daylight conditions.
This could be the reason they still using the proven and tested, old fashion bulbs.
Thanks for the info!
@@BenalRida There is a good example of this problem shown in a video posted on a UA-cam channel named "Motors for the Masses"
On a video entitled "3 very different 125 scooters" at the 8:44 minute he shows the LED indicator visibility problem.
But hologen bulbs are harder to see than LED?
How do you find it with the higher screen vs short screen (on your former nmax)? Does it do a good job, or create buffeting?
I haven't been very lucky with windscreens, they don't protect me, they just create turbulence. I like a very short windscreen or no windscreen much better, like naked bikes.
This looks like a really good bike. But one issue that stands out to me I have to travel in most weather to work. If it's raining hard won't the left hand cubby hole fill with rain.
I am pretty sure there is a hole in mine and so I imagine it will be there as well on the new one, so the water will drain.
Very good bike for city
Great video,! You mentioned you are looking for bigger CC bike, what are your favorite makes/models?
Hello JV, currently looking at Honda Forza 350 or Yamaha XMAX300, but since money is tight, I need to wait a little while longer :( Thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@BenalRida hm xmax to your country
Mantap nmax 155 vva indonesia
Hi my old benal-friend ! So, to resume we don't have to change the "old model" (I bought a 2nd hand 2019) with this new 2021 ; no change in the performance (if we may speek about that !). Happy to see that you still on the roads !
Yes, I am still on the road. How are you keeping? Everything okay?
@@BenalRida Life is going like it should/can ... ! Also still on the roads almost every day for the pleasure like I did in Benal ! I see with pleasure that your Vlog is full of tests ! Good idea to check the 0-100km/h.
Wish you a lot of good trips !
@@JorisMEES-Yourii Thanks very much, same to you!
I had also the issue with the key. It happens probably because of the vibration.
What extra windscreen was mounted? I just brought this scooter and stock windscreen is useless. Was it the one from Givi?
Hello, no, it was the high windscreen from Yamaha.
It would be good if you also include the mileage between servicing intervals for the bikes you review in the future. 👍👍
Fuel consumption and servicing fall in to the same category of expenses required to ride the scooter. 🏍🔥
Mileage is around 3.8 to 40 km/ liter.
How about doing a review comparison between the Honda forza 125 vs Yamaha nmax
Or better pcx vs nmax
I wish you have also the nmax 155.
Can you tell us what are your impressions and feelings between Nmax 2021 and Pcx 2021 in terms of handling, stability, seating position, acceleration etc, please. Thank you! I have the same sensation about those glossy black panels near the foot. Ceers from Italy !! Daniele
Hello Daniele, thanks for your continued support. I think in terms of handling, stability, they are very similar. Seating position I felt more comfortable on the NMAX. Acceleration data I did not compare but you can, so you need to watch both 0-100 tests :) In my opinion I would not buy the PCX because it still has the good old drum brake in the rear, which means that you also do not have ABS in the rear.
@@BenalRida can you not just squeeze the front abs brake then the rear drum togeather to stop more quickly?
@@steve00alt70 That's what your suppose to do anyway. In dry weather. The pcx rear brake isn't that great in the wet especially. It's very easy to skid. Unlike the nmax cause the abs kicks in.
Agree the pcx brake is old school compared to the nmax, I ride both I find out the Honda is abit smoother, but still I'll pick nmax anyday, plus pcx is cost more in my country.
Nmax looks nicer too.
Is that screen available for the older nmax model?
Hello, I don't know, I am sorry. You need to check with your Yamaha dealer.
Hello sir, can you plz make another video 2021 vs 2022 model please.
Have you tried, the 155cc, compared to this smaller 125cc?
Hello, no the 155cc versions are not available for test ride here.
Good day. In your opinion, will it be comfortable for a driver with a height of 190 cm to drive?
Hello, not sure, I am 175 cm but I think a bigger scooter like the XMAX125 or Honda Forza 125 might be better for your size.
i buy this one same but when u trun ur side light no sound that is not good n wind cover glass is not so high n canot cover all ur body not nice ur eyes, and left side there is no cover for charger when it’s raining all night,,
Hi! I wanna buy it but I'm considering PCX also. Which has better wind protection? Yamaha with added this windshield is ok on highway? I will use it to ge between cities on coast.
Hello, to be honest, I cannot really remember. Not sure if I mentioned anything in my video about this?
@@BenalRida Thanks for reply 😉 You've make good job, many of complate honest reviews. I'am considering brand new PCX, NMAX or Sym Cruisym a. In SYM only things that will by missing is keyless, Start/stop and board computer. I don't know which take... In Yamaha or Honda must add windshield.
I would prefer the NMAX.
really.... youtube is full of reviews but nobody speaks about the passenger comfort. I would like to know if you can travel 2 persons on this scooter. Is the second person comfortable ? Doesn't look like much space for passenger(human passenger)
I will ask my girlfriend and get back to you.
After 3 months BenalRida realized he has no girlfriend and never came back to you :D
Are the rear shocks stiff and hard just like in the old nmax models ?
Yes, I think they are similar.
Hmm on my nmax old model suspension is not hard i think theres an issue with the suspension.
@@jonathanalbetrendon808 I think a persons weight may have something to do with it.
Im from sri lanka. How can I get this .please inform me
I see you have a 2015 N Max 125 scooter and now you tired the 2021 N max 125 . But you also tried a 2021 Honda Forza 125 witch did you like best .
Hello, well, these scooters are in different classes because of their price. If I had the money I would choose the Honda Forza 125.
@@BenalRida Im in the market to buy a scooter i got a yamaha Exenter 125 last year its ok i allso tried a 125 Honda forza but now have a 125 scooter im thinking about a 300 or 350 X Max or Forza im up in the air witch bike i like both X Max and Forza maybe the Forza a bit more
@@henningandreassen1231 I haven't tried the XMAX300 2021 yet, but I tried the Honda Forza 350. You might wanna have a look at my video here: ua-cam.com/video/Jm8cbvpi234/v-deo.html
How fast can you ride uphill in the A7 on the higueron? Its a tough hill for 125cc
Hello, I don't know :) Do you live around here?
@@BenalRida yes i live in Fuengirola, and as your chanel is benalrida i suppossed you live in Benalmadena, nice review and video btw
@@mariochabrera4751 Hello yes, I do live in Benalmádena :) Greetings to Fuengirola and thanks for watching my video!
what is the fuel consumption for this bike?
Hi, it is actually in the video. It is 2.2 l/100 km acc. to Yamaha.
New NMax 2021 have USB-charge and 12V socket.
THE MECH key only opens the seat.. I still need the code; when my smart remote dies ?
Yes, seems to be a weird system. You need to enter the code.
Sym jet x 125 is another good alternative to the nmax with a little more power. Can you do a review for that too ?
Hello, yes, I think I will do the test ride next week, but it will take awhile before it finds its way onto my channel. I have another channel, which is German, and which will publish videos earlier. Thanks.
@@BenalRida
I am considering in buying a sym jet x and I looking for a good review for it but it’s difficult to find one because it’s a new bike
@@povfreedom Okay, I will do my best. As I said it will definitely be published on my German channel first. ua-cam.com/users/MotoFuzzi
wind glass is nice where i can buy ?
This is the extended windshield. You can get it from your Yamaha dealer.
hi wath is the name of the colour on the scooter ?nice
Hello, this is "Power Grey". Thank you for watching!
3:21 Yamaha use Start and Stop System, not Idling. Idling is the name of Honda :D
Good sound for 125 cc
Yes 👍
for your consideration, this scooter is famous for its oil consumption
Really? Had an NMAX for six years, never had any problems and have never heard of any of such problems. But thanks for sharing.
Yan pinkamganda kulay Ng nmax glossy gray..
Hi! I'm a girl (5'5), and I'm gonna purchase my first motorcycle. Do you think Nmax is a good option for me in terms for weight and balance? :)
Yes, definitely, the NMAX is very nice and fully equipped modern scooter.
How is this scooter compared with Sym Symphony ST 125? Which one you prefer? Thank you!
I would prefer the NMAX. Looks higher class and quality.
@@BenalRida Thank you very much!
Should I buy a nmax 155 instead of 125? Is worth the difference in terms of power and torque?
@@catalinp9176 We don't have the 155s here, so I couldn't tell you what the difference feels like. Sorry.
can i fit a 3xl helmet in storage ?
I don't know, sorry!
Hello. Which motocycle rides better nmax or Kawasaki Z125?
Hello, they are kind of difficult to compare. Personally I would take the NMAX. It is much more practical and better equipped.
Thank you very much.
Very informative and spesifict but Yamaha new nmax2021 Color is sligtly different from Indonesia
Thanks for watching!!!
Here in the Philippines the nmax comes with a 155cc engine
Comprei uma NMax 160 Blue, em São Paulo BR , 16.300 Reais , só vai chegar daqui 1 mês
Hi bro, do you know any exhausts that will fit this model? Thanks
Hello, I am sorry, I have no idea.
It's a huge improvement over the previous model, but traction control for 12 horsepower is a joke right? I mean unless you are on ice there is zero chance to spin the rear tire
Hello, no, I don't think it's a joke. It's always good to have in case you need it. The rear tire can slip on many different ground conditions like road markings or on steel grids or when it's rainy.
@@BenalRida I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you. I've been riding for over 20 years, and there is no way you can get the tire to spin with anything under 80 horsepower. Even on a hard corner in the first rain, 10 horses couldn't spin the rear. Same as abs. It's just marketing.
@@paulwhat322 trust me it spins the tyre easily on wet leaves or mud or other slippery surfaces when you apply full acceleration from a standing still. I was shocked when it happened as I never thought a little 125cc can surprise me after riding my CBR1100XX hard for many years and also bought an MT07 2 years ago and ride them both hard
@@paulwhat322 12.2 horses actually
@@paulwhat322 yes you can, I can do burn out on my 125 Honda Vario /clicks which is lighter version of Honda pcx.
is that only 125cc scoot? i thought its a 155cc
No, it is a 125cc. We only get 125cc for test ride.
Hy there! I have in plan to buy nmax model 2023. I don't know is it to much changed from the model from this video(I mean in size). But what I want to ask you, is it comfortable to me, I'm 181cm tall? Thank you
Best if you can sit on one at a dealers, everyones idea of fit and comfort differs. I,ve just bought a new nmax 125 here in France and I'm 190cm tall and 120kgs and it fits me ok. I will say the saddle is not as comfortable as my xmax300 but then again I'm not going to be doing 500km days on it. Only had it just over two weeks,well pleased.
@@Vanrides. Thank you for your comment. Probably I will do like you recommend me. I was also looking for xmax 125. What's the price in France? Here, in Croatia regular model is 5900€, and tech max model is 6500€
@@Igor1989ist Here in France, the nmax is 4000€, the regular xmax 125 5500€ and the xmax 125 tech is 6100€, all plus registration and dealer prep charges. My nmax 125 cost me 4000€ after I received a discount of a 190€. I,ve read that the 155 nmax is available in Croatia, if you have a A2 licence this might be a better buy. So for France there is a price difference of 1500€ between the nmax and basic xmax, that is a big chunk of money for a bike with the same engine. The xmax has better weather protection than the nmax and owning both I would say the saddle on the xmax is better also roomier if you are to carry a passenger. The xmax is also 40kgs plus heavier than the nmax, a big difference for a 12hp 125cc engine. I have so far no complaints about the nmax, but the plastics do seem abit more flimsy than the xmax. Finally, surprisingly in the feet forward position the nmax has more legroom than its bigger bodied cousin, though in Benalrida's words when sat in the toilet position the xmax is slightly more roomier.
I gave up from nmax. It doesnt make me satisfied with all performances,but yes like you said it is available in Cro. (Model 155ccm). I'm still searching what I really want. I was thinking about Honda Forza 125 also. And question for you, you said in previous comment that you pay xmax 125 4000€ on some kind of discount. That's incredible price,can't believe haha,fantastic for you!
@@Igor1989ist It was the nmax I paid 4000€, good luck with your search for a bike.
Do you think Suzuki Bergman 2021 is good or forza?
Hello, I have never tried the Suzuki Burgman. They are hard to get here as a test ride bike. The Honda Forza is very good. Please watch my video: ua-cam.com/video/n_4w24w7yVk/v-deo.html
What is the top speed? Better than older generation?
Hello, I cannot tell, sorry. I assume it's the same.
@@BenalRida thx :)
@@lovelife1105 it will do 68. Full tuck with no wind it limits at 73mph
@@JDMz It is faster than older model?
@@lovelife1105 faster by 2mph
Please can you do a comparison v pcx 125 2021
Hello, thinking about but I think these videos are not so popular, because one will always be inferior to the other, and people don't like that. Also, too many test rides at the moment, so no time :) Thanks for watching though!
Pcx is better
@@ak.88 how
@@cheersmate385 more responsive, better acceleration, better lights, more storage under the seat.
@@ak.88 what about the rear drum brake without abs?
what is better nmax or medely
What is better? Well, I don't know, but personally I would prefer the NMAX :)
LoL I dont have any TCS on my crazy 2019 MT-07 wtf :D
TCS ? what's that? 🤔
This is Traction Control System, so the rear wheel does not slip when you speed up or when it's raining or it is slippery.
@@MotoFuzzi Thanks 😊🙏
Pliiis nmax 155 or sh150?
Difficult to say, I would get the NMAX.
You prefer the nmax
Instrument cluster looks boring compared to the pcx
Yeah I was thinking the same, pcx dash is so much nicer and cleaner. I will admit though the Nmax did sound rather nice
Why 125cc? Do people there prefer 125cc? In asia it's 155cc
I think it is because of government regulations. We have the 125cc class with up to 15 HP and we do not have 155s.
Can you Hotwire ??because has thob now ??
I have no idea.
@@BenalRida oh bummer they never leave locks on the 2021 I want it
Dick! Obviously a thief
I have 155cc.super scooter.
Congratulations!
Thak you!
Omg this 2021 version actually has a hazard warning light this time, Yamaha are breaking the boundaries this time.
I thought hazard lights were suppose to be legally fitted to every motorized transport. 13 inch tyres and halogen indicators? c'mon yamaha its 2021......bulb lights should be fazed out
Yes, my new 2021 Yamaha XMAX 300 still has turn signal bulb lights :(
@@BenalRida that’s interesting, you chose the Xmas 300 over the Forza 350. Can I ask why? I’m in the same predicament.
@@florme6494 Hello, I was about ready to order the Honda Forza 350 but the Honda dealer did not make me an offer so I had to decide quickly and had to get the specially priced used XMAX 300 which I bought in the end. So no preferences really, both are great. The Honda might be a bit better for smaller people (like me), since I think I can reach the ground better and it seems to have better stability while riding slow.
The Philippine version is more powerful. 155cc 4 valves with variable valve actuation.
This one has VVA aswell, its just a 125
Amusing. So much talking, and it's (obviously) essentially unchanged. And why change it? It's a great little bike - get one, ride, and enjoy!
No, sorry, unchanged is not true. A lot of things have changed on the 2021 model!
I dont knownwhy but you sound like motofuzzi ☺
Yes, MotoFuzzi is my twin brother 😂 Thanks for watching!!!!
@@BenalRida are you for real xd ?
@@bodol4d2 No, sorry for pulling your leg. We are the same person :)
@@MotoFuzzi hahaha
155 is super slow and heavy, a scooter needs to be at least 300 to run
Max speed only 60 Km/h
?!?!
Pcx 2021 still much better than this ugly meh..
Agree
I wish there is someone who will give to me their old yamaha scooter 🛵 🙏
