Look at the Click and NMAX from the side and one difference stands out immediately: the Click has an open area in front of the rider’s feet, while the NMAX has a raised centre section between them. You will notice that difference when getting on and finding a comfortable foot position. The NMAX also has a front screen and a different body profile. Which arrangement suits your daily route?
This comparison covers the original Honda CLICK 160 ABS introduced by Hamtaz and the Yamaha NMAX 155 STD with a conventional ignition key introduced by Niroo Motor for Iran. It does not cover lookalike scooters.
Start with the fit
If you get on and off several times a day, the Click’s open foot area is worth trying. On the NMAX, consider the centre section when mounting and moving your feet. Its footboard layout is different too: sit on both scooters and check where your knees and feet rest and how easily you reach the handlebars.
A photograph cannot tell you which will feel more comfortable. Shorter riders should consider seat width as well as the published seat height, because both affect reaching the ground. If you often carry a passenger, check their seat and foot space during the same visit.
The pictured Click does not have the NMAX’s front screen. If a screen matters to you, check its height and your sightline from the seat. Its appearance alone does not establish how much wind protection it provides.
The differences at a glance
Scroll horizontally to see all columns.
| Feature | Honda Click 160 ABS | Yamaha NMAX 155 STD, conventional key |
|---|---|---|
| Engine displacement | 157 cc | 155 cc |
| Transmission | Automatic CVT | Automatic CVT |
| Cooling | Liquid | Liquid |
| Stated fuel tank capacity | 6 litres | 7 litres |
| Front / rear brake | Disc / disc | Disc / disc |
| ABS | Listed; channel count unclear | Not established by this version’s source |
| Foot area in reference images | Open | Raised centre section |
Technical figures are the Iranian suppliers’ stated specifications for these two versions. The body layout comparison comes from the reference images.
Both handle transmission changes for you
Both scooters use a CVT, so you do not operate a manual clutch or change gears yourself while riding. Coming from a manual motorcycle, that changes how you ride; between these two scooters, it is a shared feature.
The difference between 157 and 155 cc is not enough to name an acceleration winner. Weight, engine tuning and transmission behaviour also matter. If your main question is which pulls away faster, displacement figures do not answer it. This article does not report an acceleration test.
There is another useful question for a commuter: which scooter can you move around your parking space more easily? With the seller’s permission and in safe conditions, try moving each scooter backwards and using its stand. That tells you more than liking its photograph.
One extra litre in the NMAX tank
Niroo Motor lists a 7-litre tank for the NMAX; Hamtaz lists 6 litres for the Click. If fuel stops interrupt your daily routine, include that difference in your decision.
A larger tank means more capacity, rather than lower fuel consumption. The distance between refills also depends on the actual scooter’s consumption and your route. These capacities alone do not establish a riding range.
For brakes, the precise version matters
Both suppliers list front and rear disc brakes. The selected Click is advertised with ABS, but the source for this conventional-key NMAX STD does not establish whether it has ABS. If ABS is a requirement, check the handbook and equipment on the NMAX you intend to buy. The model name alone does not settle it.
The Click source does not establish the ABS channel count either, so it does not support a claim that both wheels have anti-lock protection. Read our ABS and CBS guide before your visit. Disc brakes alone do not prove a shorter stopping distance.
Add the cost of getting ready to ride
When comparing advertisements, write down the year, trim, mileage and service history alongside the price. A used NMAX with overdue maintenance cannot be compared with a ready-to-use Click solely by their asking prices. The reverse applies too.
Ask a local workshop or service centre about oil and service labour, CVT maintenance, brake pads, tyres and the battery. Go beyond asking whether parts are available: ask what the correct parts for that version cost and how long they take to obtain. Without that information, assigning lower running costs to Honda or Yamaha does little to help your decision.
For a used purchase, read the motorcycle inspection checklist before visiting and add necessary repairs to your budget.
Which should you choose?
If the open foot area and the Click’s body layout suit you better, start by viewing a Click; ABS is also listed for this selected version. If you prefer the NMAX seating layout, front screen and larger tank, try the NMAX and establish the equipment fitted to the particular scooter for sale.
Make the final decision using three things: how it fits your body and parking space, the purchase and maintenance costs of that particular scooter, and its actual equipment. One model does not need to win every category to be right for you.

Which suits a shorter rider?
The model name alone cannot give a reliable answer. Sit on both in your usual footwear and check your reach to the ground and handlebars and your ability to control the scooter at a stop. Seat width and body shape matter alongside seat height.
Does this NMAX have ABS?
The source for Niroo Motor’s conventional-key STD version does not specify it. That does not mean ABS is absent. Check the handbook and equipment on the particular scooter before buying.
Sources and scope
The official Hamtaz Click 160 and Niroo Motor NMAX 155 pages were reviewed on 17 October 2026. They do not establish the exact model years. Ambiguous power and torque figures and the NMAX’s conflicting wheelbase entry are excluded. Specifications from other global versions have not been substituted. The cover is a promotional composite based on reference images, not a photograph of a road test.
