Learn about a motorcycle every day - nmax155, the price comes to 20,000 yuan, don't play other cars
I'm a knight to share.
It is rumored that "a Honda that can't be ridden badly, and a Yamaha that can't be repaired". But is that really the case? I don't think so, as long as it is a direct model of Yamaha, it is actually not worse than Honda in terms of quality and technical application, and even has its own certain advantages.
For example, the guest of honor in this issue, the Yamaha NMAX155 is a model that can call the wind and rain better than the competition among entry-level scooters.
The nmax155 is an entry-level family-oriented model launched by Yamaha in 2016, and its cumulative global sales have reached 2 million units in the first half of 2020. This does not include the mainland market, which was not introduced until mid-to-late 2020.
It is currently sold in the 2022 TCS version, with an official suggested retail price of 2780,000 yuan, which belongs to the current highest model among the Japanese 150 scooters. The car's direct competitor is Honda's PCX160, in addition to European imports such as the Piaggio Medley 150.
It's just that among the related models under the definition of sports cruise, the nmax155 is almost the existence of the ceiling level by virtue of its own strength.
Although some loyal Honda fans will be unhappy with this description, there is no way that people are at full performance, whether it is appearance, technical application, configuration settings or even actual performance.
In terms of appearance, the NMAX155 will be more sporty than the PCX160, and its overall silhouette and detailed styling will be more dynamic because it incorporates Yamaha MAX elements. Of course, compared to its own brothers, it will still be inferior, and the shape of the entire front face lacks a certain degree of aggression.
In terms of power, Honda is proud of ESP plus, and NMAX155 is equipped with a more advanced "blue core" engine, the main highlight of the engine is VVA variable valve technology, which can change the valve opening synchronously with the increase and decrease of engine speed, so as to achieve the purpose of saving fuel and improving power. This is unique in its class.
In addition to this aggressive performance in appearance and core, the NMAX155 is also very rich in the combination of configurations, in addition to the common LCD instrument, keyless start, LED light source, front and rear disc brakes, etc., there will also be dual-channel ABS and TCS. On the other hand, competing products will be inferior, and some of the so-called low-cost volume kings are nothing more than that.
This makes the nmax155 built by Yamaha exude strong strength from the inside out, coupled with the good handling under the sports positioning, so that it has a lot of fans, and for a period of time there is a hard-to-find picture.
Of course, in the current market, nmax155 has also exposed certain shortcomings, the most obvious of which is the high price and the so-called hunger marketing methods.
After all, there are many models to choose from with a budget of about 30,000 yuan, and the scooter segment will have 250 and 350cc in addition to 150cc, so the cost performance of the car is relatively not high, which makes its market prospects not optimistic.
If the car's ** comes to 20,000, it is easy to appear with its own performance, and other models will not play the scene.
This is not alarmist! The main reason why many friends choose other models, in addition to the long delivery cycle of this nmax155, is that it feels that its ** is not down-to-earth enough, but if Yamaha conforms to the market demand and resets the low-key price, it is easy to make the same positioning model cry dad and mother.
As for whether this situation will occur, it depends on the courage of the spring breeze Yamaha, and there is a high probability that the construction Yamaha does not have this ability, otherwise the 150 scooter would have been a mess of porridge.
