The Yamaha NVX looks incredibly striking, as the sharp, edgy and bulky design is an instant hit among the youth segment of buyers. In addition to it, the NVX is loaded with a number of features like front and rear LED lights, all-digital instrument console, front and rear disc brakes, and alloy wheels and keyless ignition.
The large dimensions of the Yamaha NVX give it the flexibility of having a sufficient amount of luggage storage capacity. While the under seat storage space of 25 liters is good enough for holding a full face helmet as well, the small cubbyhole below the handlebar with charging socket is handy as well.

The Yamaha Xmax 250 indeed feels premium with the presence of enriching comfort and convenience features usually found in the high-end two-wheelers. Features like keyless ignition, full LED headlamps with daytime running LEDs, LED tail lamps, part digital comprehensive instrument console with a huge array of data on display and fairing-mounted rearview mirrors do add a lot to the overall premium experience.
The Yamaha Xmax is fitted with a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder 250cc motor, which is definitely one of the best quarter-liter engines in a scooter. With best in class power output of 22.8PS and torque output of 24.3Nm, the Yamaha Xmax feels strain-free to ride with good low-speed performance.
Despite the heightened stance and relatively high kerb weight of 179kgs, the Yamaha Xmax feels agile and planted, thanks to an excellent chassis under the skin. The suspension is set up on a softer edge, while at the same time, the meatier tires and disc brakes make up for a subtle and fine urban ride.

The Yamaha NMax is one of the very first maxi scooters which were launched in the market, which definitely now feels in the way it looks. The overall design has begun to show its age, and it now looks a bit bland as well.
While the Yamaha NMax is touted to be a maxi scooter, the under seat storage is not that impressive by the standards of the same. The space is good enough to hold a half face helmet and some small goodies, but holding a bigger full face helmet would be a problem.

As the Yamaha NVX comes with a slightly stepped up seat as on many entry-level sports bikes, the pillion seat is not as comfortable as in other scooters. The width too is at a premium, thus lacking the required under-thigh support.
To make its riding dynamics too agile and sporty, the ride quality of the Yamaha NVX is a bit stiff, which is a slight problem in tackling worse roads with suppleness.
|
While the Yamaha XMax looks extremely stylish and futuristic from the front, the rear end looks timid and out of place for a scooter of this size. The Xmax looks very thin from the rear, and at the same time, the tail lamp design too is not up to the mark as that of the headlamps.
Though the Yamaha Xmax is targeted at urban audience as a more sophisticated city commuter, the relatively lower fuel efficiency means that it will require more stops at fuel stations.
