Performance & Riding Experience
The Yamaha Nouvo 5 for Rent offers a different riding character from smaller 110cc scooters. Its 125cc engine gives it a stronger response while remaining an automatic scooter that is straightforward to operate.
125cc Liquid-Cooled Engine
The Nouvo 5 uses a four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled 125cc engine. Yamaha designed the engine to provide a balance between everyday performance and fuel economy.
With maximum power of 10.4 hp at 8,000 rpm and maximum torque of 10.5 Nm at 6,000 rpm, the engine provides suitable performance for normal urban transportation.
YMJET-FI Fuel Injection
One of the biggest improvements over older Nouvo generations is the YMJET-FI electronic fuel-injection system.
Yamaha’s system uses an additional air passage to help mix air and fuel more efficiently. According to Yamaha, this technology was developed to improve fuel economy in practical riding conditions.
Automatic CVT Transmission
The Nouvo 5 uses an automatic belt-drive transmission, so there is no manual gear shifting. This makes the scooter practical for stop-and-go city traffic.
Projector Headlight
When it was launched, the Nouvo SX featured a projector-type headlight, which Yamaha highlighted as a first for an ASEAN-market model. The model also used an LED-lit instrument panel and LED taillight.
16-Inch Wheels
The Nouvo 5 uses a 16-inch front wheel with a 70/90 tire and an 80/90 rear tire. This wheel setup gives the scooter a distinctive appearance compared with many smaller-wheel automatic scooters.
