Nmax isn't available in the US. I'd love to compare the two, but I can only hypothesize. I know GN2 has a man crush on the Nmax.

Nmax has ABS therefore is far and away the better scooter.

Its the ABS which really sets the two apart, they are fairly similar in most other respects.

13 inch rims?? Why?? It is suppose to be Yamaha's entry against the PCX. They look similar. The Nmax has a little bit more horsepower but pays for it in gas mileage. It has a few other goodies as well as the ABS but I have seen several u tube reviews that go each way. The last words I heard on the Nmax was that it was a great little bike but not as solid feeling as the PCX, so it comes down to preference I guess.

They just do not feel as screwed together as the PCX, they suffer in looks, the ABS is nice, but if that is it's main selling point over the PCX it's not enough.

Or use the PCX which has more practical wheel size from the factory. Then if you are caught out it's not as severe.
