The Maxi scooter market in India is rapidly growing; in the last few months, the sales of these two-wheelers have significantly increased. Between 2026 and 2027, three 150cc+ maxi scooters are set to be introduced in the Indian market; the list includes the Honda ADV160, the Yamaha NMax 155, and the TVS 160cc Maxi-Scooter. Let’s have a closer look at each of these upcoming two-wheelers.

Honda ADV160

The premium adventure-style maxi-scooter Honda ADV160 is set to be introduced in the Indian market by late 2026; it will launch with an expected ex-showroom price between ₹1.4 lakh and ₹1.6 lakh. The manufacturer has already patented it in India and codenamed it K4LA; its design is quite inspired by its larger sibling, the Honda X-ADV 750.

Comes with a 156.9cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled internal combustion engine that is mated with an automatic V-Matic gearbox, whose power output is 16 hp and peak torque is 14.7 Nm. Its kerb weight is 133 kg, seat height is 780 mm, fuel tank capacity is 8.1 litres, ground clearance is 165 mm, and wheelbase is 1,325 mm.

Features a 14-inch front wheel and a 13-inch rear wheel; braking for the front wheel is managed by a 240 mm petal-style disc rotor and the rear by a 220 mm disc or 131 mm drum, depending on the variant, with single-channel ABS. The front suspension is a 31 mm Showa telescopic fork, and the rear is a Showa shock with piggyback reservoirs.

Yamaha NMax 155

The premium maxi-scooter Yamaha NMax 155 will make its Indian debut soon. It will launch in India in the first half of 2027 with the ex-showroom price between ₹1.30 lakh and ₹1.70 lakh. Get a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve ICE mounted with a Yamaha Electric Continuously Variable Transmission.

The internal combustion engine delivers a power output of 14.8 bhp and peak torque of 14.4 Nm. Depending on the variant, it may measure 1,935 mm to 1,955 mm in length, 1,340 mm to 1,350 mm in wheelbase, and 1,115 mm to 1,200 mm in height; notably, the width is set to be 740 mm for both.

It will feature 13-inch wheels on both ends with 110/70 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tyres, and braking for both wheels is managed by a 230 nm disc. Get 25 litres of underseat storage, which helps in carrying small luggage conveniently, and a 4.2-inch colour TFT display on the dashboard showing riding data.

TVS 160cc Maxi-Scooter

It is officially confirmed that the TVS Motor Company will launch an all-new 160cc maxi-scooter in the Indian market by the second half of 2027. They haven’t yet revealed the production name and pricing; however, we expect that it will cost under 1.5 lakh rupees and be set to give tough competition to the other two-wheelers in the segment.

The powertrain details are still pending; reportedly, it will get a 160cc liquid-cooled internal combustion engine mated with a continuously variable transmission. The ICE may generate the power of 14+ bhp and peak torque around 15 Nm, which may accelerate it from 0 to 60 km/h in under 5 seconds. On both ends, it may get 14-inch wheels with a disc brake at the front and a drum at the rear.

Reportedly, it will get a large TFT touchscreen featuring Bluetooth connectivity for navigation and music control; ground clearance is expected to be around 160 mm, and the base may be the same as its sibling, the TVS Ntorq 150. May feature a 780 mm height seat, a 1360 mm long wheelbase, a 145 kg kerb weight, double-channel ABS, and full LED headlights and taillights.
