Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid : Yamaha has once again raised the bar in the commuter motorcycle segment with the launch of the FZ-S FI Hybrid, a bike that combines aggressive styling with cutting-edge hybrid technology. Designed for the modern rider who demands both efficiency and excitement, this motorcycle stands out with its Smart Motor Generator system, fuel-efficient performance, and premium features—all at an attractive price point of ₹1.22 lakh (ex-showroom).
Bold and Sporty Design That Commands Attention
Appearance-wise, the Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid is quite a looker with sharp body lines, dual-tone paint options and aggressive graphics. The LED headlamp does not only improve night vision, it sure helps in the future look of the bike. Aerodynamic side cowls and a beefy fuel tank give the bike its aggressive looks and the Duet is a looker on the road. Through and through, you will find Yamaha’s distinctive design language in the line and profile of the SR 400, and be assured that this motorcycle knows no rival on the road.
Hybrid-Assisted Engine for Smoother Rides and Better Efficiency
The FZ-S FI Hybrid is powered by a 149cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine which produces 12.4 PS and 13.3 Nm. What distinguishes this is the presence of Yamaha’s proprietary Smart Motor Generator (SMG) hybrid system, which lends its hand by assisting the electric motor during startup and slow runs. This technology offers more linear acceleration in traffic and better economy.
Combined with Yamaha’s Blue Core engine concept the motorcycle is capable of delivering maximum fuel economy of 45-50 kmpl and is one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in the segment. The range is also much better than the sportbike version, with a 13-liter tank making it much more suitable for touring, since one fill up should cover you for over a hundred miles.
Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid: Comfortable and Agile Handling for City Riding
The FZ-S FI Hybrid is crafted for city commuting says Yamaha. The bike also includes excellent telescopic front forks combined with a mono-shock rear suspension, providing a smother ride – especially off-road. At 135 kgs, the bike is light and commuters can use it easily in city traffic conditions, the company said, adding the ergonomically designed seat of SmartXonnect is also fatigue-free so that the user can get even more joy for daily rides to weekend outings.
Enhanced Safety with Reliable Braking and Grip
The FZ-S FI Hybrid is focused on safety, as Yamaha provides a front & rear disc brake setup with a single-channel ABS for efficient stopping power. With large tubeless tires that give a soft comfort-tested grip on the road, wet and dry, you can also confidently face a variety of riding conditions. Further, the bike gets a Start-Stop System that seamlessly shuts down the engine when standing still in traffic to contribute in the effort of lessening fuel usage in heavy traffic.
Yamaha FZ-S FI Hybrid: Smart Connectivity for a Modern Riding Experience
Going along with the need among tech-savvy riders, Yamaha has included Bluetooth compatibility through the Yamaha Motorcycle Connect X application. This also means riders can get call alerts, view their ride history, check battery health, and locate their perched bike—enhancing convenience and peace of mind. A real-time reading of how much fuel you are burning also encourages fuel-saving riding.
