The company’s safe and proper riding-promoting arm also instructed riders when to use the model’s two riding modes, as well as its three-level downshift controls — helping them get the best out of their steeds.

“Whether it was gliding through traffic or surging ahead with precision, the ride felt smarter, sharper, and more intuitive,” YMPH was quoted as saying.

“The Sports mode delivers an instant response and heightened control, seamlessly matching the road’s rhythm and the engine’s performance,” the motorcycle manufacturer added.
According to YMPH, more motorcycle enthusiasts will get to experience the revolution brought by the NMax Tech Max’s Y-ECVT. The brand will hold test rides with the said nameplate alongside the Aerox SP, which also sports the same technology.
