Yamaha XMAX 300: specifications and compatible accessories
The best-selling scooter in its category, with a motorcycle-style catalog
Large wheels, spacious under-seat compartment, and intensive everyday use. For the XMAX we have three accessories, but they are the right ones: crash bars with footpegs, center-stand plate, and tunnel bag — the same protective approach that applies to a motorcycle.

Who it's recommended for
It's the right vehicle if
- You use it every day in the city and on mixed urban-rural roads, where 28 horsepower is enough
- You need space without having to think about it: the under-seat compartment holds two helmets
- You want stability on cobblestones and potholes: the 15-inch wheels make a difference compared with scooters with small wheels
- You're looking for low running costs and a 795 mm seat height within everyone's reach
- You park it on the street and are willing to protect it properly: these are protective, not cosmetic accessories
Look elsewhere if
- You regularly use the highway: overtaking reserve is limited
- You travel with luggage: beyond the under-seat compartment, space is limited
- You want a broad accessory catalog: there are only three dedicated parts here
- Scratches bother you: in a stationary tip-over, the side fairings get damaged immediately
- You place orders without checking the registration year: the crash bars and center-stand plate are for versions from 2023 onward
In short: it's the vehicle for everyday urban use, not for fast miles. If the highway is part of your routine, the Tracer 7 covers the same route with far more reserve; if you need the practicality of a large storage compartment but with a bigger engine, the Honda NC 750 X is the alternative in the lineup.

Frequently asked questions
Is the stand plate really useful on a scooter?
In this case, yes. At 179 kg, the side stand sinks into hot asphalt in summer and into gravel. It is the accessory that prevents the most damage to a vehicle parked on the street every day.
What is the crash bar with footrests for?
It does two things: protects the side panels in stationary falls, which are the most common for a parked scooter, and provides a place to rest your legs on suburban stretches, where the fixed position becomes tiring.
How do I know which version I have?
It depends on the registration year. The crash bar and stand plate are listed for versions from 2023 onward, because the mounting points changed with the update.
Is additional storage needed beyond the under-seat compartment?
The compartment holds two helmets, which is enough for everyday use. The tunnel bag adds fifteen litres by using the space in front of the seat, without taking space away from the helmets.
Can it be used on the highway?
Yes, but with limited margin: 28 horsepower keeps pace without shining during overtaking. It is in its element on mixed suburban roads and in the city.
