Chennai, Mar 11 (UNI) India Yamaha Motor (IYM) on Tuesday launched
its first ever hybrid motorcycle, the 2025 'FZ-S Fi Hybrid'.
It was priced at Rs 1,44,800 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), a company statement
here said.
The 2025 ‘FZ-S Fi Hybrid’ embodies a total balanced and sophisticated
design, further refined by the sharper edges on the tank cover and giving
it a sleek and well-proportioned look, while retaining its signature presence.
A key design update includes integrated front turn signals, now positioned
within the air intake area, adding to its aggressive and aerodynamic appeal.
Powering the motorcycle is a 149cc Blue Core engine, now OBD-2B compliant,
equipped with Yamaha’s Smart Motor Generator (SMG) and Stop and Start
System (SSS). These technologies provide quieter starts, battery-assisted
acceleration, and improved fuel efficiency by automatically shutting off the
engine at idle and restarting with a quick clutch action.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Itaru Otani, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group
said, “The FZ brand has played a crucial role in Yamaha’s journey in India,
evolving with every generation to meet the changing expectations and practical
requirements of our customers."
"By introducing hybrid technology in this segment, we are not only elevating
performance, but also reinforcing our commitment to bringing advanced, rider
-focused innovations", he added.
