Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS vs Yamaha XMAX 250

The Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (2026) and the Yamaha XMAX 250 (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg; the Yamaha XMAX 250 is a scooter with 250 cc, 22.4 hp and 183 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 91.7 hp/ton versus 86.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is 6% ahead.

In the simulation the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 10.46 s and the Yamaha XMAX 250 in 11.65 s; the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is quicker by 1.18 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 46.8 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS) and 45.2 m for the Yamaha XMAX 250 (with ABS). The Yamaha XMAX 250 stops 1.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 115 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 126 km/h (GPS measurement).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha XMAX 250.
