Mansory Covers Yamaha TMAX 560 in Carbon Fiber and Winglets

Updated on August 17, 2026 • 5 min read

Mansory has turned its attention to the Yamaha TMAX 560, introducing an extensive carbon fiber body kit that gives the maxi-scooter styling cues normally associated with high-performance motorcycles and modified supercars.

Called the Mansory Maxi Scooter, the project follows the tuner’s earlier Vespa Elettrica Monaco Edition but takes a considerably more aggressive approach.

The package adds carbon fiber components across much of the TMAX 560’s exterior, together with four prominent winglets and illuminated Mansory badges.

Unlike many of Mansory’s automotive projects, however, the transformation is primarily visual. The company has not announced additional engine performance for the scooter.

Carbon Fiber Extends Across the TMAX 560

Carbon fiber is the defining material of the conversion.

Mansory uses the composite across numerous exterior components, including the mirrors, front section, fender, air intake, side panels, upper and lower covers and rear bodywork.

Even the exhaust heat shield receives an additional carbon fiber detail.

The extensive application changes the visual character of the TMAX, replacing much of the standard scooter’s bodywork appearance with exposed composite surfaces.

Rather than restricting carbon fiber to a few decorative inserts, Mansory uses the material throughout the vehicle to create a consistent design theme.

Four Carbon Fiber Winglets Add Sportbike Styling

Among the conversion’s most noticeable components are its four carbon fiber winglets.

Two large winglets are positioned at the front of the scooter, while another pair sits farther rearward near the passenger seating area.

Winglets have become increasingly common on high-performance motorcycles, where carefully engineered aerodynamic devices can contribute to downforce and stability at speed.

For the Mansory TMAX 560, however, the company has not published aerodynamic data or claimed a measurable performance benefit from the added components.

They should therefore be viewed primarily as part of the scooter’s styling package rather than as proven functional aerodynamic upgrades.

That distinction is important given the TMAX’s fundamentally different operating characteristics compared with superbikes developed around high-speed aerodynamic performance.

Standard 562cc Engine Remains

Underneath the carbon fiber conversion, the TMAX retains its standard Yamaha powertrain.

The scooter uses a 562cc parallel-twin engine producing approximately 47.5 horsepower and 40.6 lb-ft of torque.

Mansory has not announced engine, transmission or chassis modifications as part of the package.

That makes this project substantially different from the tuner’s more extensively modified cars, where exterior changes are often accompanied by significant increases in power.

Here, the emphasis is on materials and visual transformation rather than outright performance.

Illuminated Mansory Badges Complete the Conversion

The scooter also receives extensive Mansory branding.

Five Mansory logos are incorporated into the design, with three featuring illumination.

Combined with the exposed carbon fiber, oversized front intake treatment and multiple winglets, the illuminated elements move the TMAX considerably further away from the understated appearance normally associated with maxi-scooters.

The result sits somewhere between a luxury customization project and superbike-inspired bodywork.

TMAX 560 Combines Scooter Practicality With Highway Performance

The underlying Yamaha TMAX has been in production in various generations since 2001 and was originally developed with European markets in mind.

Its current 562cc configuration combines the practicality of a maxi-scooter with performance intended for sustained highway use.

That makes the TMAX an unusual foundation for Mansory. Instead of starting with a supercar or luxury SUV, the company is applying its recognizable exposed-carbon aesthetic to a practical two-wheeled platform.

The company previously experimented with this approach through its customized Vespa Elettrica, which also incorporated carbon fiber components but maintained a substantially more restrained appearance.

Mansory Sells the Conversion as a Complete Package

Rather than producing a separate motorcycle model, Mansory offers the conversion as a complete kit for the Yamaha TMAX 560.

Individual components are not being offered separately, according to the company.

Mansory has not published an official price for the package in the information provided. Reports have suggested a substantial premium over the cost of the donor scooter, but without a published manufacturer price, those figures should be treated separately from Mansory’s confirmed specifications.

For composites enthusiasts, the project is less about technical lightweighting than the continuing evolution of carbon fiber as a premium visual material.

On the TMAX 560, Mansory uses that identity extensively — transforming a practical maxi-scooter into one of the more unconventional applications of exposed carbon fiber on two wheels.
