Yamaha will launch its new scooter, the "Cygnus X," on May 22. It's characterized by the addition of traction control, boosting riding performance. The retro-pop "Fazzio" also arrived in April, featuring the brand's proprietary "Power Assist" function that supports drive force for three seconds from a standing start.

Traction control on the Cygnus X is quietly a big deal. This kind of equipment on a 125cc commuter is a full generation jump in safety tech compared to the old model. The Fazzio's 3-second power assist is an interesting idea too, there's a lot to dig into on the spec sheet. Mass-market scooter evolution shouldn't be underestimated, I want to check every detail.

Standard traction control with the price staying the same means better safety with no real price hike — great news.

Feels like this kind of electronic control is likely to spread to Honda and Suzuki scooters too.

The Fazzio's retro-pop design — a nice trend of adding playfulness even to a practical scooter.

3 seconds of power assist sounds short, but it's probably designed to cover exactly the moment that feels most uncertain when starting off.

Even just 3 seconds should be plenty of reassuring support for a beginner who wobbles when starting off.

The Cygnus X has been around for a while, right? Adding traction control is a pretty significant update.

Traction control on a scooter is pretty cutting-edge for a domestic model — should make a real difference in confidence on rainy days.

Even on a scooter, traction control should be a huge help on slippery surfaces like manhole covers or painted lines.
