Was Käufer wissen sollten
DX Exclusive Tech Features
The DX trim adds Smart Key system, heated grips, and an electric windscreen adjuster over the standard TMAX, making it one of the most feature-rich maxi-scooters of its era.
Watch the Drive Belt
The CVT drive belt should be inspected every 8,000–10,000 km and replaced around 20,000 km; neglected belts can snap and cause costly damage to the variator assembly.
Strong Resale Value
The TMAX consistently holds its value better than most scooters due to high demand and brand reputation, with well-maintained DX models retaining roughly 60–70% of original value after 3 years.
