There are a total of 7 official Yamaha FZX accessories on offer

Yamaha has listed a range of official accessories for its latest offering, the FZX, which was launched only last week.

Customers can get accessories like a seat cover, tank pads, additional rear footrest, among others for the FZX from the Japanese brand should they wish.

Available at authorised Yamaha dealers, the seat cover has been priced at Rs. 300/-, while the tank pads, rear footrest and bike cover cost Rs. 400/- each.

To add to the neo-retro styling of the 150cc motorcycle, Yamaha also offers chrome mirrors, which have been priced at Rs. 800/- a pair. The crash guard costs the same as well.

Finally, the FZX can be fitted with LED indicators as well. A pair costs Rs. 1490/- and one would have to spend just shy of Rs. 3000/- for a set of 4, which is a bit steep.

Below are the official Yamaha FZX accessories –

Yamaha has set a premium asking price for its new FZX

Yamaha has launched the FZX in India with a starting asking price of Rs. 1,16,800/- (ex-showroom, Delhi), today.

Available in Matt Copper, Matt Black and Metallic Blue colour options, the motorcycle sports neo-retro styling that marks it out from the 150cc FZ-series on which it is based.

It comes with a circular LED headlight that has DRLs, front fork boots, a raised handlebar, sculpted fuel tank, single piece seat, a new slim LED tail lamp and several brushed aluminium-esque parts.

The Yamaha FZX also features a digital LCD instrument cluster, USB socket, and a Bluetooth connectivity feature that works with a new application called ‘Y-Connect’ which can notify the owner about engine malfunction, oil change timing, battery level and so on.

The new FZ-X comes with a 2-valve Blue Core FI Engine which generates 12.4 PS of peak power at 7250 RPM and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM. This should prove to be just right for cruising around town and the upright riding position should help matters too.

The neo-retro motorcycle weighs 139 kg (wet), has  165 mm ground clearance of and for added safety, it is equipped with single channel ABS.

Using the Y-Connect app, the rider can check smartphone notifications on the instrument cluster, look at maintenance recommendations, track previous parking location, track fuel consumption, receive malfunction notification, and also access the ‘Revs Dashboard’ which displays engine rpm, amount of throttle opening, rate of acceleration, through his or her phone.

Yamaha has stated that deliveries of the new FZX will start this month. Also, the first 200 customers are set to get a wrist watch as a gift.

Below is the Yamaha FZ-X price list –

Here we have the exhaust note video of the Yamaha FZX which is scheduled for launch on 18th June 2021.

The retro style motorcycle is based on the 150cc FZ FI and unsurprisingly, it does sound pretty similar to the naked bike, which, in other words means it is rather muted.

We disclosed in December 2020 that Yamaha has applied and received the trademark for the FZX moniker and early test mules of the motorcycle were spotted in March.

Thus far, it is clear that the styling of the commuter bike has been inspired by the Japanese firm’s XSR range of motorcycles. Thus, it will come with a circular LED headlamp, brushed aluminium-finish parts, a raised handlebar, flat seat and short tail.

Despite it looking different to the regular FZ series of motorcycles (the FZX is a bit longer, wider and taller than the FZ FI) the mechanical parts will be identical to that of the FZ. The 149cc engine also puts out the same 12.4 PS of power at 7250 RPM.

Similarly, the bike’s suspension and braking hardware are set to be borrowed from the FZ FI, which should mean it would be a potent city bike. That said, the Yamaha FZX exhaust note could have been a bit deeper to go with its overall retro vibe.

Expect the FZX to command a premium over the FZ FI and cost close to the Vintage Green edition of the motorcycle range.

The post Yamaha To Launch FZ-X On 18th June, Here Is What It Sounds Like [Video] appeared first on MotorBeam.

The Yamaha FZ-X has been spotted undisguised during a television commercial (TVC) shoot which took place near the Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh.

These images have been obtained thanks to MotorBeamer Surya Dagar who captured images of the FZ-X while the TVC shoot was taking place.

Based on the FZ FI, the retro style motorcycle comes with a circular headlight with DRL, a fuel tank styled to look similar to the 1 on the brand’s XSR range of bikes, a flat seat, and short tail.

It even gets fork gaiters, metal brackets for the headlight and on the front fender and an old school pillion grab bar to go with the retro theme. It is a shame that Yamaha did not give the bike circular mirrors and wire-spoked wheels, while the radiator panel section and tyre hugger look out of place.

Apart from the styling of the recently spotted Yamaha FZ-X, what is also notable is the colour scheme as, apart from the fuel tank which comes in the body colour, all of the cycle parts are blacked out.

At least 3 colours, namely Black, Blue and Orange, will be on offer with the bike when it gets launched and from the spy shots, it is evident that different saddle colour options will also be available.

Leaked type approval document shows that the bike will be powered by a 149cc single cylinder motor good for 12.4 PS of maximum power at 7250 RPM, the motorcycle will be 30 mm longer (at 2020 mm), 5 mm wider (at 785 mm) and 35 mm taller (at 1115 mm) than the FZ FI, with which it shares the 1330 mm wheelbase.

Yamaha has gone for a comfortable riding position for the rider, which can be ascertained based on the position of the handlebar and foot pegs for the rider. The passenger foot pegs are placed a bit higher though. Other parts such as the instrument cluster and brakes look to have been borrowed from the FZ FI, but the tyres are semi-knobby jobbies.

Thus far, Yamaha has been tight-lipped about the launch timeline of the FZ-X, but it should take place in the coming months. Price-wise, expect the motorcycle to cost a bit more than the FZ FI.

The Yamaha FZ-X, an upcoming retro style variant of the FZ FI, has been spied yet again, this time without camouflage.

Only 1 image of a partially assembled FZ-X is available as of now, but it is enough to give us a clear indication as to how the front portion of the motorcycle will look like.

It is clear that the motorcycle’s design has been inspired by Yamaha’s own XSR range of bikes and the shape of the fuel tank says as much. Even the circular headlight that has a DRL ring divided into 3 sections is held by a bracket similar to the one used XSR155.

In addition, like the test mule spotted earlier, the Yamaha FZ-X spied recently has fork gaiters and a silver-coloured radiator cowl-esque panel sitting right in front of the tank.

Moreover, the bike will get a restyled front fender which also comes finished in a shade of silver. But, the indicators are the same units used in the FZ FI.

Although the rear section of the bike cannot be seen, we can expect Yamaha to make use of a simple circular stop light that will sit proudly on the rear fender, similar to the setup used in the XSR155.

Since the specs of the FZ-X have already been leaked, there will be no surprises on that front. The bike will be powered by a 149cc motor good for 12.4 PS maximum power. The torque too should be the same at 13.3 Nm tops.

The motorcycle which is likely to weigh around 135 kg, like the FZ FI, is expected to be put on sale in the market later this year. It should command a premium over the bike it is based on.

If the FZ-X does well in the market, it might well prompt Yamaha to launch the XSR155 in India as a more sporty retro-styled alternative in the 150cc segment where the firm is a strong player.

Leaked type approval document of the Yamaha FZ-X has let out the specs of the upcoming motorcycle.

Ever since Yamaha trademarked the title FZ-X back in November 2020, speculations ran rife about the kind of motorcycle the Japanese brand would come up with.

It was thought to be a small adventure motorcycle, but spy shots of a retro-style motorcycle that emerged in March crushed that theory.

Now, we can state with confidence that the Yamaha FZ-X will be based on the FZ FI, for the type approval document states it has a 149cc heart putting out 12.4 PS at 7250 RPM, the same as the 150cc commuter bike.

Further, the leaked Yamaha FZ-X specs show that the bike will be 2020 mm long, 785 mm wide, 1115 mm tall with a wheelbase of 1330 mm.

On the other hand, the 2021 Yamaha FZ FI is 1990 mm long, 780 mm wide, 1080 mm tall and has the same 1330 mm wheelbase.

When it comes to how the motorcycle will look, it is evident that Yamaha will give it a restyled fuel tank similar to the one used in its XSR range of bikes and retro-inspired styling overall.

The bike will come with a long, flat seat, with slightly forward set foot pegs, a short tail, and the same suspension and braking components as the FZ FI. The telescopic forks do get gaiters in addition, though.

When it gets launched, the Yamaha FZ-X should help the FZ range, which garnered close to 17,800 unit sales in February, find more buyers every month. Price-wise, it should cost below Rs. 1.10 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Yamaha Motor India has launched the 2021 FZ FI with a price tag of Rs. 1,03,700/- and the 2021 FZ-S FI range which costs from Rs. 1,07,200/- (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

Now, the 2021 Yamaha FZ FI price includes a side stand engine cut-off switch as standard. The bike will be offered in 2 colours, namely – Metallic Black and Racing Blue, and Yamaha claims to have worked on the exhaust system so that the bike produces a better sound now.

The 2021 FZ-S FI, on the other hand comes with in-built Bluetooth connectivity and “Yamaha Motorcycle Connect X” application, which was launched as an accessory last year, as standard.

Further, the FZ-S FI models can be had in any of 5 official shades on offer and they are – Matte Red (new), Dark Matte Blue, Dark Knight, Matte Black and Vintage Green. It also sports a new 3D emblem as well as the side stand engine cut-off switch.

Both variants of the 150cc motorcycle come with LED headlight and single-channel ABS as standard and are powered by a 149cc air-cooled motor putting out 12.4 PS maximum power and 13.3 Nm of peak torque.

Thankfully, the weight of the 2021 Yamaha FZ FI and FZ-S FI series has been reduced by 2 kg to 135 kg, while the design and other features have been left untouched.

Yamaha has filed the FZ-X trademark application in India and we think it is an adventure (ADV) motorcycle based on its FZ25 series.

Around this time a year before, it came to light that the 2-wheeler maker is considering launching a small ADV since the segment is slowly but surely growing in the country (read article here).

The numbers back it up as well. In November 2020, the Hero Xpulse 200 saw 1372 takers, while Royal Enfield sold 1550 units of the Himalayan. This provides a perfect opportunity for Yamaha to increase its sales and also enter a new segment.

Since its FZ25 is not selling all that well at the moment, developing an ADV using the platform will help the bikemaker better make use of it while also saving itself some cash.

Of course, Yamaha is expected to retain the 249cc single-cylinder engine, putting out 20.8 PS and 20.1 Nm, and 5-speed gearbox combination.

The digital cluster and switchgear will be carried over too. But, Yamaha will work on the geometry, suspension, and overall off-road capabilities of the bike.

Expect the motorcycle, for which Yamaha FZ-X trademark application has been filed, to come with a slightly different look, while maintaining the core design of the FZ25.

We would like to see wire-spoked wheels, but that might be pushing our luck a bit too far. But, switchable ABS should be offered along with Yamaha’s latest Bluetooth connectivity suite.

Having looked at the segment for quite some time, it looks like Yamaha is finally ready to take the plunge. However, the FZ-X will not be cheap, for the FZ25 in itself costs Rs. 1.52 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and the ADV based on it will only cost more.

Yamaha FZ-X Trademark

Yamaha has launched the FZ-S FI Vintage Edition with a price tag of Rs. 1,09,700/- (ex-showroom, Delhi).

According to the Japanese manufacturer, the Vintage Edition will offer riders style and latest features.

The motorcycle comes only in Vintage Green colour, sports a new leather-finish seat that is claimed to be more comfortable and model-specific graphics.

Features-wise, it has an LED headlight, a negative LCD instrument cluster, while a single-channel Bosch ABS system is present as well.

Also, the Yamaha FZ-S Vintage Edition price includes Motorcycle Connect X Bluetooth connectivity using which riders can access features such as Answer Back, Riding History, Locate my Bike, E-Lock, Hazard and Parking Record.

No mechanical changes have been made and the motorcycle continues to be powered by the 149cc fuel-injected single-cylinder motor that puts out 12.4 PS of power at 7250 RPM and 13.6 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM.

Moreover, Yamaha promises that it will continue to “bring more such excitement for biking enthusiasts in future”. So, we can possibly expect more special editions to come our way.

Prospective customers would be able take a look at the motorcycle from this week onwards at authorised Yamaha dealerships.

Shootout: Suzuki Gixxer vs Yamaha FZ-S V3

Shootout No. 233

Price OTR Mumbai: Rs. 1,30,000/- (Suzuki Gixxer), Rs. 1,20,500/- (Yamaha FZ-S V3)

Both these motorcycles are leaders of the 150cc premium commuter segment

We all know that the Yamaha FZ kickstarted the premium commuter segment in India while the Suzuki Gixxer followed and got a fanbase of its own. With the version 3 update of the FZ, there have been a lot of changes while the Gixxer has got a major update too. While both these designs will continue to BS6, the premium commuter rivalry still stays strong. There are some differences between these motorcycles which can lead to the final decision of buying either of these.

Motor Quest: Yamaha launched the FZ in the year 2008 while Suzuki launched the Gixxer after 6 years in 2014. While there have been slight changes all along, both the FZ and Gixxer got a major design update in 2019.

Styling – Both the motorcycles have got all-new LED headlights while Gixxer is the only motorcycle with an LED tail light too. The Gixxer gets halogen indicators while the FZ gets halogen indicators as well as a taillight. There is a beefy design on the FZ with a larger piece tank which ends with chrome vents as a cowl while the Gixxer has multiple edgy panels which are similar to the earlier design. The lines flowing from the tank to the tail are a lot smoother and bulkier for the FZ while a lot sleeker and sharper for the Gixxer. There is a belly pan present on the FZ while the Gixxer misses out on one. The FZ also gets a simple saree guard while the Gixxer gets a larger and an uglier unit.

The Yamaha FZ has a matte paint job while the Suzuki Gixxer has it in gloss

The Suzuki Gixxer is available in 3 colour options while the Yamaha FZ has 4 colour options to choose from. The black plastic panels are present in similar places on both the motorcycles but the ones on the FZ are larger than the Gixxer. The FZ also gets a single-piece black coloured grabrail which looks old fashioned but tough while the Gixxer has split grabrails finished in body colour. The Gixxer also has a split-seat setup while the FZ has retained a single-piece seat. Yamaha has moved towards a simpler design language with bigger panels and usage of chrome too while Suzuki has shifted to making the motorcycle look more sharp and sleek.
