Only 200 examples of this limited edition XMax are on sale in the Latin American nation
Yamaha Brasil has launched the limited edition XMax Darth Vader in its domestic market. The company will be making only 200 examples of this maxi-scooter. So, what exactly is new with the Yamaha XMax Darth Vader?
The styling. The Yamaha XMax Darth Vader’s paint job is inspired by the iconic Star Wars character. So, it gets a complete blacked-out theme with contrasting red accents (inspired by the character’s lightsaber). There are some other details on the livery like the small Death Star (a space station from the Star Wars’ universe) and a button panel from Vader’s suit.

Unfortunately, the changes on the limited edition XMax are purely cosmetic. It continues to use the same 250cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 22.8PS and 24.5Nm. The maxi-scooter even retains the suspension setup consisting of a telescopic fork up front and dual rear shocks, offering 110mm and 79mm of wheel travel, respectively. There are no changes to the 267mm/245mm disc brake setup either.
The Yamaha XMax Darth Vader is not the first pop culture-inspired product from the Brazilian wing of the Japanese brand. Previously, we have seen the NMax Star Wars Edition, MT-03 Iron Man Edition and even FZ-25 Marvel Edition.
Yamaha has priced this limited edition maxi-scooter at BRL 28,590 or Rs 4.49 lakh. Unfortunately, the XMax in the Darth Vader or even the standard avatar is unlikely to grace our market anytime soon. Unlike Yamaha Brazil, we do not have any pop-culture inspired products in our market from the bikemaker. So, you can either purchase the Aerox 155 and customise it, or if you prefer something like this straight from the factory, the TVS NTorq Super Squad Edition remains your only choice.
