The Yamaha XMAX Custom Chameleon 270cc is a one-off build of our XMAX: the engine taken out to 270cc, a custom exhaust, a tuned ECU and a chameleon paint job that shifts from purple to green to blue as you walk around it, finished with blue wheels. You will not see a second one on the island.

It is still an XMAX underneath: twist-and-go automatic, ABS, big seat, wind protection and room for two. The bigger engine and the ECU tune give it noticeably stronger pull out of corners and on the bypass, and the exhaust gives it a deeper voice than a stock scooter.

For riders who want maxi-scooter comfort for Bali day trips and coast roads, but not a standard scooter: something with more punch and a look that stands out in every photo. Best with some experience on a 250cc scooter, because the custom engine pulls harder than the stock XMAX.

Two helmets and a phone holder are included, with free delivery within 20 km. Optional insurance, a new helmet and an action camera can be added to your request.

The bike is custom, so we go over the paint and the bodywork together at handover and at return. Fuel: Pertamax 92 minimum, never Pertalite. Prices, deposit and availability are confirmed in WhatsApp before you pay.
