TMAX530 takes about 7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. Here is the relevant introduction: Model: Yamaha's TMAX model has undergone a significant update 19 years after entering the large scooter market. Last year, with the arrival of the BMW C400X and C400GT, BMW provided a boost to the development of sport scooters. Its C650GT and C650Sport are eyeing the TMAX530, while there is also a threat from the high-tech Kymco AK550. Features: The TMAX560 was launched in Italy alongside its higher-spec sibling, the TMAX TechMax. It features Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats and handlebars, cruise control, and adjustable rear suspension. However, the model mentioned in today's article is the standard version, which still has some differences from the TechMax.
I've ridden the TMAX 560 quite a few times, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration is around 6.5 seconds—not super fast but quite agile. The bike is a bit heavy, weighing over 220 kg, but with 47 horsepower, it packs a punch, delivering strong acceleration and a thrilling push-back feeling, especially when taking off at traffic lights. For city cruising, the acceleration response is steady and never feels sluggish. I also love its handling—the low stance and excellent grip make it stable in corners, even in rainy conditions. If you frequently ride long distances or commute, this acceleration time is just right—not too wild to scare beginners. Plus, the smooth CVT transmission is fuel-efficient and comfortable, making it a versatile choice.
I've tested the acceleration of my TMAX 560 several times, and it usually completes 0-100 km/h in under 6.5 seconds, making it a top performer among scooters. The 560cc twin-cylinder engine delivers linear torque output, providing a smooth acceleration experience that's quite suitable for beginners. The weight does affect the initial take-off, but its excellent balance prevents tipping in corners. I also pay attention to details, such as the ABS system preventing skidding during hard acceleration, which adds to its safety. For long-term use, I recommend regular inspection of the drive belt to maintain stable acceleration performance. Compared to other models, its performance is significantly faster than smaller-displacement scooters, making it reliable and more than adequate for daily use.
