Yamaha’s NMAX lineup is drawing attention again because the price gap between the Neo S Version and the NMAX Turbo is large enough to change the buying equation. For riders who want a premium 155cc scooter without stretching too far, the Neo S Version stands out as the more rational choice.
In Jakarta’s on-the-road pricing for May 2026, the NMAX Neo S Version is listed at Rp33.700.000. That positioning places it well below the Turbo variant, which remains the higher-tier option in the latest NMAX family sold in the national market.
A more measured entry into the premium class
The Neo S Version is built around practicality rather than excess. It still carries the modern features expected from a Maxi Yamaha model, but its price keeps it within reach of buyers who are watching their budget carefully.
Its styling is also more assertive than before, with a sharper and more aggressive design. Dual LED projector headlights give it a futuristic look while improving illumination at night.
Engine output stays familiar and usable
Under the body, the Neo S Version uses a 155cc Blue Core, 4-valve, liquid-cooled engine. Yamaha states the engine delivers 11.3 kW at 8,000 rpm and 14.2 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
Variable Valve Actuation, or VVA, remains one of its core selling points. The system helps keep power delivery steady whether the scooter is used in city traffic or on longer intercity rides.
| Specification | NMAX Neo S Version |
|---|---|
| Price in Jakarta | Rp33.700.000 |
| Engine | 155cc Blue Core, 4-valve, liquid-cooled |
| Maximum Power | 11.3 kW at 8,000 rpm |
| Peak Torque | 14.2 Nm at 6,500 rpm |
The scooter also includes Stop & Start System, which shuts the engine off automatically after the motorcycle remains stationary for a few seconds. The feature is intended to help reduce fuel consumption in daily use.
Premium touches without moving into Turbo territory
As an S Version model, it comes with Smart Key System and Answer Back System. That setup removes the need for a mechanical key and makes everyday use feel more convenient.
Its wheel and suspension package also supports that premium feel. Yamaha fits tubeless wide-profile tires measuring 110/70-13 at the front and 130/70-13 at the rear, along with a Sub-Tank rear suspension to better absorb bumps on urban roads.
| Feature Area | Neo S Version Detail |
|---|---|
| Key System | Smart Key System with Answer Back System |
| Front Tire | 110/70-13 tubeless |
| Rear Tire | 130/70-13 tubeless |
| Rear Suspension | Sub-Tank Suspension |
These features make the Neo S Version especially relevant for riders who want comfort and day-to-day usability. At the same time, Yamaha keeps the Turbo variant above it for buyers who are willing to pay more for the top position in the range.
With its combination of modern design, efficient engine technology, and a more accessible price, the NMAX Neo S Version presents a clear alternative for shoppers who want the essentials of a premium scooter without committing to the higher Turbo band.
