A Stylish Street Star
The Yamaha FZ-X 2025, launched in June 2024, continues to turn heads in India with its neo-retro design and commuter-friendly performance. Priced from ₹1.38 lakh to ₹1.50 lakh (ex-showroom), this street bike blends premium styling with a reliable 149cc engine. While some sources like jaiganpatihospital.in claim a 55 kmpl mileage, BikeWale and user reports peg it at 45-50 kmpl, with real-world figures around 48 kmpl. Targeting urban riders and style-conscious commuters, it rivals the TVS Ronin and Hero Xtreme 160R, offering a balance of looks and efficiency.
Premium Design & Features
The FZ-X 2025 sports a muscular tank, round LED headlamp with DRLs, and a sleek LED taillight, inspired by Yamaha’s XSR series. New colors—Matte Titan and Chrome—join Matte Copper, Matte Black, and Dark Matte Blue, with golden wheels adding flair. The LCD cluster with Y-Connect Bluetooth offers call/SMS alerts, navigation, and fuel stats. Safety includes single-channel ABS, traction control, and a side-stand engine cut-off. Its 139 kg weight and 810 mm seat height ensure easy handling, though X posts note vibrations above 6,000 rpm.
- Round LED headlamp with DRLs
- Bluetooth-enabled LCD with Y-Connect
- Traction control and single-channel ABS
- 140/60-17 rear tire for grip
- Five colors: Matte Titan, Chrome, Matte Copper, Matte Black, Dark Matte Blue
Efficient Powertrain
The 149cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, BS6.2 engine produces 12.2 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 13.3 Nm at 5,500 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It delivers smooth city performance but feels strained above 100 kmph, with a top speed of 105-110 kmph. Mileage ranges from 45-50 kmpl (10L tank, ~450-500 km range), not 55 kmpl as claimed. Telescopic forks, a monoshock, and 282mm front/220mm rear disc brakes ensure a comfortable ride, though some users report a firm suspension.

Why It’s a Hit
The FZ-X’s premium look, Bluetooth tech, and low ₹2,500/year maintenance make it a steal, backed by Yamaha’s 1,924 service centers. X users love its “retro-cool” vibe, but some criticize its underpowered engine compared to the Ronin’s 20.2 bhp. Bookings are open at yamaha-motor-india.com, with EMI from ₹4,885/month. Despite mileage claims, its efficiency and style shine. Is this the street bike for you?
