YAMAHA Motor Co., Ltd. will release a new color scheme for the "AXIS Z," a moped scooter equipped with a compact body and a "BLUE CORE "*1 engine that combines "riding" with "environmental performance," on February 5 as a 2021 model.

The "AXIS Z" combines practicality and comfort, with "YAMAHA's top 125cc scooter fuel efficiency of 54.6km/L (WMTC mode value*2)," an easy-to-handle lightweight body, and a large 37.5-liter under-seat trunk (capable of holding two jet-type helmets*3). The "AXIS Z" is supported by a wide range of users as a means of daily transportation for commuting and other activities, thanks to its combination of practicality and comfort, including a 37.5-liter under-seat trunk (capable of holding two jet-type helmets*3).

The new "Matte Green" color adds to the high quality of the vehicle and creates a calm atmosphere suitable for daily commuting and other activities. The existing colors of black, white, matte dark gray, and purple have been retained for a total of five colors to suit different lifestyles. The products will be manufactured by YAMAHA Motor Taiwan.
