Yamaha is revving up its product plans with a range of new updates to its existing lineup. The brand recently teased the Tenere 700 World Raid for the international market. Now, the brand has also introduced the 2026 update of the Nmax 155. With the update, the Nmax 155 gets a host of new features in the list.
Powering the new Yamaha Nmax 155 is the same 155cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is capable of churning out a peak power and torque output of 15.1 hp at 8,000 rpm and 13.7 Nm at 6.500 rpm, respectively.
The biggest update in the new Nmax is the addition of the downshift button. Yamaha has equipped the 2026 Nmax with a downshift button on the switchgear that delivers an instant surge of torque, mimicking the feel of a manual downshift. This feature is part of Yamaha's YECVT system, designed to make the riding experience more dynamic and immersive for enthusiasts.
The system works with two riding modes-Town and Sport. Pressing the downshift button switches to Sport Mode, where the engine revs higher and gives a more powerful response, similar to shifting down a gear manually. Town Mode keeps the revs low, like riding in a higher gear, making the bike smoother and more relaxed. Riders can choose the mode that suits their style, helping them get quicker power delivery without any delay during overtakes.
Visually, the 2026 Nmax 155 Tech Max gets subtle changes. The front lighting setup has been mildly tweaked, while the rear suspension now features gas-charged shock absorbers, enhancing ride comfort, especially over rough or uneven road surfaces.
While the brand has been tighlipped about the Yamaha Nmax 155's launch in India, the brand's 11th November event is likely to bring some clarity on the matter.
