Yamaha Motors launched VMAX in India at a price tag of Rs 20 lakh. The newly launched Yamaha VMAX is powered by 1,679cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 65 degree V4 engine with maximum power147.2 kW (200 PS) @ 9,000 rpm and maximum torque166.8 Nm (17.0 kg-m) @ 6,500 rpm.

Running with bore x stroke dimensions of 90 x 66mm and featuring a compression ratio of 11.3:1, this visually intimidating new power plant develops 200 PS at 9,000 rpm, together with a huge torque output of 166.8 Nm at 6,500 rpm.

The VMAX has a governed top speed of 220km/h, by a smart system that still allows a complete ¼ mile run under full acceleration.

“India is one of the key markets for Yamaha. We are constantly shifting gears to transform the market from utility to pleasure & lifestyle. With the launch of all new VMAX, Yamaha brings a new credo for the bikers in India. Today, Yamaha is offering innovative designs, sporty looks and premium features across models as part of its strategy to give consumers a new thrill in biking. The limited edition of high demand model Fazer & FZ series is in line with this strategy. Also with the festive season round the corner, we expect limited editions to be an instant hit amongst biking enthusiasts”, said Mr. Yukimine Tsuji, CEO, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd.

VMAX offers the very latest in advanced design and technology for an awesome acceleration feeling, combined with bodywork and styling that respects and enhances the iconic image of the original model. The new VMAX is a showcase for some of Yamaha’s cutting-edge engine and chassis technology – from engine control systems to the aluminum frame and the radial-mounted 6-piston front brakes.
