Engine

155cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve, fuel injected, 4-stroke, single produces solid, predictable power and good fuel economy.

Fuel consumption rating of approximately 34.3 kilometers per litre or 96.9 miles per gallon (imp.). Your actual consumption may vary.

Fast, dependable electric starting.

Fan-assisted, liquid-cooling.

• maintains consistent engine temperatures even in stop & go traffic
• liquid-cooling allows for a higher state of tune & performance
• reduces mechanical engine noise

Four valve cylinder head.

• utilizes two intake valves & two exhaust valves
• provides maximum breathing efficiency & excellent power output

Roller rocker arm valve actuation.

• specially designed roller rocker arms reduce friction for increased power
• reduce mechanical engine noise for a quiet, enjoyable ride

Both the intake & exhaust valves feature a special "carbon cutter" valve stem design.

• automatically removes carbon build up from the valve stems
• maintains maximum engine efficiency & power, even during extended slow speed use
• (carbon build up on valve stems can lead to sticky valves & poor performance)

Lightweight, aluminum cylinder features ceramic composite plating on the cylinder bore.

• insures uniform heat dissipation
• reduces internal friction & weight

Lightweight crankshaft with carburized connecting rod & lightweight forged aluminum piston.

• optimizes engine performance & provides fast throttle response
• excellent durability (carburization is a heat treating process that increases the strength of steel)
• reduces mechanical vibration

Gear driven engine balancer shaft.

• reduces engine vibration to a minimum even at higher rpms
• excellent rider comfort

Wet sump-type oil delivery system & special centrifugal oil filtering system.

• automatically removes any particles found in the oil
• never requires cleaning or maintenance

30 mm, "closed loop" throttle body fuel injection system.

• 6 hole injector for good fuel atomization
• excellent throttle response
• "closed loop system" uses an oxygen sensor to "sniff" spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions
• fuel injection benefits include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions

Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).

• produces a strong spark for fast starts
• provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms

Easy access, paper-type air filter.

• easy servicing & reduced intake noise

Fully automatic, CVT transmission (constantly variable transmission).

• simple "twist-the-throttle-and-go operation"
• no hand clutch or gear shifting
• wide range reduction ratio is used for peppy performance.

Stylish muffler with catalytic converter.

• reduces harmful exhaust emissions
• muffler produces quiet exhaust note & features heat shields to protect rider & passenger

Chassis/Suspension

Rugged "underbone-style" steel frame.

• makes getting on & off the SMAX easy
• electrostatic paint process helps prevent corrosion.

High tech triangulated lightweight aluminum swingarm.

Trailing axle, 33mm front fork with 79 mm (3.1") of wheel travel.

• good bump-absorbing performance

Horizontally mounted single shock Monocross rear suspension with 93 mm (3.7") of wheel travel.

• helps lower the centre of gravity & centralize mass for light & agile handling

267mm wave-style front disc brake with twin piston caliper provides strong stopping power.

245mm rear disc brake features a single piston caliper.

Both front & rear brakes are hand-operated like on a bicycle... making riding simple & fun.

Rugged, yet lightweight, die cast aluminum, 13 inch, 5-spoke "mag style" wheels.

• fitted with wide, aggressive tubeless tires

Roomy, dual texture, two-person seat.

• ensures excellent rider & passenger comfort
• cool "touch to open" passenger foot pegs

Ultra convenient, locking, 32 litre under seat storage compartment.

• can hold most open face and all ½ helmets
• or everyday commuter items like rain suit, laptop, briefcase, etc.

Dual helmet holder "pins" under the front of the locking seat.

• can store & secure 2 helmets (helmets remain on the outside of the seat but can't be removed)

7.5 litre fuel tank with integrated electric fuel pump.

• excellent riding range means fewer fill-ups
• easy access, front fairing mounted, locking gas cap

Multi-function main key switch operates ignition, fork lock & under seat storage lock.

• special anti-theft "shutter" blocks key hole access to prevent tampering
• Full-size floorboards & wide front apron.

Comprehensive, sporty instrument panel.

• includes analog tachometer, digital speedometer, odometer & trip meter
• also features a clock, fuel gauge, oil change reminder & a range of warning lights

Scratch resistant windshield reduces buffing & the "vacuum effect" at higher speeds.

• windshield & front leg cowls combine to provide good wind & weather protection

Stylish, single 60/55-watt, multi-reflector, halogen headlight.

• maximizes visibility & illumination
• headlight can be adjusted right & left and up & down

Eye catching LED position lights.

• located below the main headlight & makes the SMAX more visible in traffic

Brilliant LED rear tail light
