Yamaha FZX Overview

Design

Yamaha FZX moves away from the traditional streetfighter stance. It brings in a new era of neo-retro motorcycles.

While the underlying design is inspired by classic-era retro motorcycles, the practical components are modern.

The front section sports a circular headlamp with bi-functional LED with LED DRLs. Similarly, it gets a sleek oval-shaped ring LED tail light.

The side profile feels boxier, inspired by retro motorcycles.

It comes with a muscular fuel tank along with a metal fuel tank cover. Moreover, it gets the classic two-level seat with tuck and roll.

Other visual and functional elements include block pattern tyres, blacked-out engine cowl, and multiple body cladding.

The gap between the rear seat and rear tyre feels slightly awkward.

Yamaha FZX is available in three different colors: Matt Copper, Metallic Blue, and Matt Black.

Performance

Yamaha FZX is powered by a 149cc, air-cooled, 2-valve, SOHC engine. It can generate a max power of 12.4PS at 7250rpm and a max torque of 13.4Nm at 5500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a 10-liter fuel tank capacity.

Again, it should be noted that its shares the same engine as the current Yamaha FZS v3. However, Yamaha has decided to opt for a 10-liter fuel tank instead of a 13-liter.

If you think the pricing is expensive, there are a few important things to consider.

Yamaha FZS BS6 currently retails for Rs. 3.94 Lakhs.

Taking that into consideration, the Yamaha FZ-X includes a different styling than the FZS with a plethora of more premium features. Hence, the pricing reflects that as a premium offering despite being limited to a 150cc engine.

Fortunately, there is no competition for the Yamaha FZX.

Royal Enfield Meteor and Jawa 42 are worthy rivals. However, those bikes fall into different segments, both in price and engine configuration.

It is the only neo-retro cruiser at this moment.

Plus, the neo-retro cruiser segment has always been a fan favorite for many. So, it will be interesting to see just how the market and the competition will react to this.
