Yamaha X-Force: The Next Big Thing in Class 2B Scooters?
Yamaha has long been known for producing high-quality and innovative scooters, and the new Yamaha X-Force is no exception. This class 2B scooter offers a unique combination of excitement and comfort that will appeal to riders of all ages and skill levels.
Compared to Yamaha's popular Aerox 155, the X-Force boasts several key features that make it stand out. The X-Force is equipped with a new-generation water-cooled 155cc BLUE CORE engine that provides a comfortable riding experience with a relaxed acceleration feel.
This engine is complemented by the Smart Motor Generator (SMG), which allows for a quiet engine start and Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) that optimizes air intake according to the rotation range. These features result in excellent fuel efficiency and an exciting driving experience.
The X-Force also features a lightweight and highly rigid steel pipe frame that provides agile handling at will. The tension bar, short wheelbase, and optimized front and rear suspension ensure brisk mobility and steering stability. In addition, the newly designed lightweight wheels and front and rear independent ABS further enhance the scooter's handling and braking capabilities.
Comfort is also a priority for the X-Force, with a high-density seat cushion that provides a comfortable ride. The seat upholstery is partly suede to enhance texture and grip, and the flat seat shape helps prevent slipping during driving.
The under-seat trunk has a capacity of approximately 23.2L and can store a helmet, making it convenient for daily use.
In terms of style, the X-Force has a sporty and innovative design that balances toughness around the front and lightness around the rear. The multifunctional digital meter panel is compact and stylish, while the LED tail/stop lamp adds to the scooter's futuristic appeal.
The X-Force is available in four colors: Matte Dark Gray Isshu Leaf Green Metallic 2 (Matte Green), Matte Dark Purplish Blue Metallic 1 (Matte Blue), Bluish White Pearl 1 (White), and Black Metallic X (Black).
The X-Force's broad type flat bar handle and motor-like handlebar position enhance freedom of riding posture, making it both easy to handle daily and exciting.
Furthermore, the X-Force is equipped with a CCU (Communication Control Unit) that links with a smartphone installed with the dedicated application "Yamaha Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect)", allowing riders to access various vehicle information and expand the meter display function.
The Yamaha X-Force is a class 2B scooter that provides riders of all ages and skill levels with an exceptional blend of comfort and excitement. Its popularity is evident, and if dealers introduce it, it will undoubtedly pique the market's interest as an alternative to the Yamaha Aerox. With its reliability and superior quality, the X-Force is an ideal option for those seeking an exhilarating and enjoyable ride.
