Yamaha teases new 250cc BS6-ready FZ 25 motorcycles in India
Yamaha is all set to launch the BS6-compliant versions of the FZ 25 and FZS 25 motorcycles in India soon. The Japanese automaker has teased the arrival of the motorcycles on its official website, thereby hinting at an imminent launch in the country. To recall, the naked Yamaha bikes debuted at the 2020 Auto Expo in February. Here are more details.
A look at both the motorcycles
Both Yamaha FZ 25 and FZS 25 look similar to each other and feature a naked street look. However, the latter gets a couple of additional design elements such as a windscreen and knuckle guards to justify its higher price-tag. These motorcycles run on alloy wheels and house a fully-digital instrument cluster as well as side stand engine cut-off switch.
Under the hood
The updated versions of the FZ 25 and FZS 25 draw power from a BS6-compliant 249cc air-cooled engine that comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. This unit is capable of producing 20.5bhp of maximum power and 20Nm of peak torque.
What about safety and suspension setup?
In the safety department, the BS6-compliant Yamaha FZ 25 and FZS 25 come equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear ends, along with dual-channel ABS for improved braking efficiency. To manage suspension duties, these motorcycles house conventional telescopic forks on the front and a mono-shock unit on the rear.
And, what will be the pricing?
Yamaha will reveal the prices of the BS6-compliant FZ 25 and FZS 25 at a later stage. However, reports suggest that the former will come at a price of around Rs. 1.45 lakh, while the latter may cost around Rs. 1.50 lakh.
