With its sleek design and approachable stature, this motorcycle is ideal for navigating busy city streets or enjoying leisurely rides on winding backroads. UM has crafted a bike that not only captivates the eye but also delivers a riding experience that inspires confidence and control.
At the heart of the Max 150 is a spirited 149.50 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, designed to provide efficient power delivery for urban commuting and weekend adventures alike. With a compression ratio of 9.2:1 and a well-engineered carburettor fuel system, this motorcycle responds eagerly to the throttle, allowing riders to zip through traffic with ease. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifting, making it a breeze to find the perfect gear whether you're cruising at a steady pace or accelerating from a stop. Coupled with air cooling and CDI ignition, the Max 150 showcases a reliability that riders can depend on, while its lightweight frame—tipping the scales at just 112 kg—enhances agility and maneuverability.
The Max 150 is not just about the engine; it is packed with features that contribute to a comfortable and enjoyable ride. The front suspension utilizes a telescopic fork, providing responsive handling over uneven terrains, while the rear swingarm with dual spring shock absorbers ensures a smooth ride, even on bumpy roads. Safety is paramount, with a single disc brake in the front for reliable stopping power, complemented by an expanding drum brake at the rear. Riders will also appreciate the convenience of both electric and kick-start options, as well as a fuel tank capacity of 7 liters—making it a practical choice for longer rides. Available in striking color combinations of Black/Blue and Black/Red, it’s not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement.
