JAKARTA - The latest generation of Yamaha Nmax comes with four variants including the 'Turbo' which is sold starting at IDR 37,750,000 million, and the 'Turbo' variant is said to be the best-selling one.

Talking about the 'Turbo' frill in the latest generation of Nmax, of course, not a few are curious about why Yamaha pinned the word. Of course, not without reason, as stated by Deputy General Manager of Marketing Communication Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM) Antonius Widiantoro.

"Actually, to communicate the latest technology from Yamaha using the Yamaha Electric Continuous Variable Transmission (YECVT), we are trying to find words or terms that are easy to understand," he told the media crew some time ago, in Cibinong.

Anton continued to be sparked by the name 'Turbo' which became an option. He said the name was not just a naming.

"Apart from the fact that there is a 'Turbo' sensation, because this technology is in the machine, it cannot be seen directly, nor can YECVT," he added.

Based on information from Yamaha, there are indeed several differences in the latest generation of Nmax, including the presence of the Yamaha Electric Continuous Variable Transmission (YECVT).

The most prominent difference in the 'Turbo' Nmax engine is the use of YECVT technology which replaces conventional CVT systems, where the way it works uses rollers with centrifugal movements. YECVT itself works by utilizing special electrical components that include Control Units, Actuators and several Sensors.

There are several functions presented, such as the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) which regulates the movement of motorcycle EVT by informing the condition of the EVT to the Smart Generator Control Unit (SGCU). In addition, for the ECVT Motor to move Pulley Primary.

Another function is the Motor Position (Primary) sensor which works to detect Pulley Primary movements and provide input to the Transition Control Unit (TCU), as well as the Speed Sensor (Secondary) which detects the Pulley Secondary movement and provides input to the TCU.

As for the YECVT drive component itself, consisting of Primary Sheave Assy (free of care), Fixed airlifting Assy, Slidingung Assy, EVVT Motor and also Gear Reduction Driven.

In addition, Pully's diameter is also in a larger design of 10mm, V-belt is 0.8mm wider, and Spring Secondary is 48.7mm longer and 163N harder in the 'Turbo' CVT Nmax area, making motor acceleration more responsive.

With the addition of YECVT technology to the Nmax Turbo machine, this sticker is equipped with advanced features that support driving quality at the highest level, namely Riding Mode with 2 driving options which include S-Mode (for long-distance travel or touring) and T-Mode (for urban mobility) and Y-Shift which helps drivers increase acceleration or acceleration instantly at 3 levels, Low, Medium and High.
