Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH) is starting off its 2026 activities with a couple of big reveals: its ‘Live to Defy’ campaign and the new Lexi.
The Lexi is Yamaha’s newest offering with the engine of a larger scooter and the price tag of a smaller one. It arrives as a more affordable alternative to the likes of the NMax Tech Max and Aerox, but with better performance than the Mio Fazzio and Mio Gravis.

2026 Yamaha Lexi Philippine prices
Only one variant of the Yamaha Lexi is available at launch, and it comes with an introductory price of P99,900. Two color options are available: black and matte green. Retail sales of the Lexi begin in March.
Design and dimensions of the 2026 Yamaha Lexi
The Yamaha Lexi shares design cues with its stablemates. The front end looks familiar, styled similarly to the NMax but with a cleaner, less sporty stance. Sharp lines sculpt the fairings. Out back, there’s a sizable taillight as well.
What sets it apart from its 150cc siblings is that it has a floorboard, so it has a less beefy-looking physique. It measures 1,970mm long, 720mm wide, and 1,135mm tall with a 1,350mm wheelbase. Seat height is listed at 770mm or 30.3 inches, ground clearance is at 135mm, and curb weight is 116kg.
The Lexi gets 14-inch wheels, the front shod in 90/90-14M/C 46P tires and the rear in 100/90-14M/C 57P rubber. It gets a 4.2-liter fuel tank.
Engine and specs of the 2026 Yamaha Lexi
Powering the new Yamaha Lexi is a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-valve engine that’s mated to a CVT. This powertrain is also equipped with Yamaha’s Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology for optimum performance and fuel efficiency.
The Lexi is not equipped with ABS or traction control. It gets a single hydraulic disc brake up front and a drum brake at the back. There’s also a telescopic front fork suspension and a unit swing rear setup.
Extra features of the 2026 Yamaha Lexi
The new Lexi comes with an LCD instrument cluster with Yamaha’s patented Y-Connect feature. There’s a hook by the floorboard, a small storage compartment up front for small items, and an underseat box that can fit a small open-face helmet. There’s also a built-in USB-A charging port.
