Yamaha FZ-X

YAMAHA MOTOR IN INDIA HAD FILED A TRADEMARK FOR THE “FZ-X” moniker a few months ago and the neo-retro, scrambler-styled machine has just been launched.

The Yamaha FZ-X is based on the current FZ-S and is powered by the same 149-cc air-cooled single that pumps out 12.4 hp and 13.3 Nm of peak twist. The FZ-X sports a round headlight up front, a teardrop-shaped tank inspired by the XSR 155 that is sold in international markets, and a singlepiece seat unit. Other highlights include fork gaiters on the telescopic forks up front and dual-purpose tyres to complete the scrambler image. The standard FZ-X is priced at Rs 1,16,800 and the Bluetooth-enabled variant at Rs 1,19,800 (both ex-showroom).

Alongside this launch, Yamaha have also revealed new variants of the Yamaha Fascino 125 as well as the RayZ and RayZ SR. These new models get a new hybrid system which, Yamaha claim, will offer up to 16 per cent more mileage and 30 per cent more power.
