appearance.

At the rear, it gets an equally attractive pair of taillights that packs 12 compact, high-density LEDs that give out a 3D appearance.

2021 Yamaha NVX Colour Options

Yamaha Malaysia is offering the all-new NVX in several striking colour options. The entry-level Standard trim is available in Cyan and Red hue, while the premium ABS is offered in GP Blue and Platinum SE shades.

The 2021 NVX ABS trim benefits from aluminium resins that transition between matte and metallic finishes.

2021 Yamaha NVX Features

One of the major highlights of the new NVX is the Y-Connect. Limited to the ABS version, it monitors functions like fuel consumption, maintenance schedules, battery levels, malfunction notification, and last location. The rider can also check the last incoming and missed call, and even message notifications.

Also part of the kit is the stop & start system that automatically shuts off the engine when the bike is idling in traffic or is stopped, this enhances its mileage.
