Yamaha RX100 will not be based on the same 2-stroke 100cc engine as the previous modelOld gen Yamaha RX100There is one Yamaha product in India that most people know irrespective of age group, generation, mindset, and diversity. Try to guess it. If some other motorcycle other than a Yamaha RX100 popped into your mind, you’re wrong. With a cult following so massive, RX 100 is loved even today, by many. It was in production from 1985 and lasted till 1996. Keeping this flame alive is Yamaha India, which sells spare parts for this decades-old motorcycle even today. Yeah!While some RX100 users tamper with their exhaust or take it off completely, being an absolute menace to society, some users run it on kerosene, creating an ungodly amount of smoke. But a few of these miscreants are not capable of bringing down Indian’s love for the iconic and nostalgic Yamaha RX100. Such is its legacy. Yamaha is a solid performer in the Indian two-wheeler market and with legacy bikes like RX100, it will see new heights.Yamaha RX100 Launch Plans ConfirmedIn an interview with BusinessLine, Yamaha India Chairman, Eishin Chihana revealed that Yamaha has not used the iconic RX100 moniker on any product till now as they have plans with it in the future. Thus confirming that RX100 will be back. But there is a catch, though. Yamaha can’t just bring back the RX100 back as it was based on a two-stroke engine that will never meet the stringent BS6 emission norms.Yamaha India also just can’t slap an RX100 badge on just any bike and call it a day. Because the new bike has to live up to the legend that the previous model was. It has to have the perfect combination of retro design paying homage to the old model, an explosive performance that the old model was known for and it has to be a special product and not a commuter bike. This is a huge task for Yamaha India to pull off. But pull-off, they will.Yamaha RX100 restored by Prasanth VioletAdding salt to the wounds of enthusiasts waiting for the RX100 rebirth, is the fact that Yamaha has products lined up till 2025. This hints us that RX 100 will be resurrected by 2026, hopefully. Currently, Yamaha’s portfolio only consists of 125cc scooters, 150cc street and sport motorcycles and 250cc street bikes. Most of these products recently got a price hike which we covered in a previous post. Yamaha is also expected to soon bring their premium and performance motorcycles to India too.Yamaha India RoadmapChihana further said that test runs and durability tests for electric scooters are underway and will be launched by 2025. The Japanese brand is also considering importing electric scooters sold in global markets via CBU or CKD route in the meantime.Right now, Yamaha India operates from two production facilities, one in Greater Noida and the other in Chennai. The company also exports to 30 countries globally from India. Also, India is expected to become Yamaha’s second largest export hub after Indonesia which currently exports to 60 countries.In 2026, Yamaha RX100 will join the ranks of other retro and nostalgic motorcycles from Royal Enfield, Jawa and Yezdi. When launched, it will be a premium offering and will cost a premium too. Launch of Yamaha RX100 might also spark Suzuki and Honda to launch their iconic Samurai and CD-100 too. It will be a really nice thing to see these nostalgic Japanese trio get re-launched.Source More

May 2022 domestic sales are reported at 44,907 units. No doubt, the company reports sales growth but a low sales base from a year earlier is the reason why.

In production since 2015, Yamaha Nmax 155 is available for sale in China and South East Asian markets like Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia and ThailandNew Yamaha NMAX 155cc Scooter With Traction Control SystemBased on Aerox 155 that is available for sale in India, Yamaha Nmax 155 has received its 2022 update in China. The entry-level maxi-scooter has also been updated in select South East Asian markets. The updates are largely functional in nature, aimed at improving overall ride experience for users.Yamaha Nmax 2022 updatesFor improved safety and better control and handling, 2022 Yamaha Nmax 155 has been equipped with a traction control system. This feature will be available with Nmax ABS variant and is same as the one on offer with the latest R15 V4. The system has sensors that can detect loss of traction in rear tyre, which can happen on slippery surfaces or when pushing the accelerator during cornering.Working with the ECU, the system works to reduce rear wheel slip. With traction control, users can achieve faster acceleration on slippery surfaces, all while reducing the risk of a crash. Negotiating sharp corners will also become a lot safer and smoother with traction control.Another key update for 2022 Nmax 155 is gas-charged rear suspension with pre-load adjustability. This should help improve overall ride experience, especially when negotiating rough patches or unpaved roads. The earlier model had standard spring-based dual shock absorbers.New Yamaha NMAX 155cc Scooter With Traction Control SystemNo other updatesApart from traction control and new rear suspension, 2022 Nmax remains largely the same as earlier. It is powered by a 155 cc motor that churns out 15 PS of max power and 13.9 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a V-belt automatic transmission.Aerox 155 has this same engine. It is also in use with other Yamaha two-wheelers such as MT15 and YFZ R15 V4. The motor is equipped with VVA tech that ensures strong torque delivery at low speeds and optimal power at high speeds. It also helps achieve smooth acceleration when starting from a stop position.Other key features available with Nmax 155 include engine stop and start system for improved fuel efficiency, smart key system for touchless ignition, hazard lamp, mobile charging port and 23.3 litre underseat storage. It has an all-LED setup with cool designs for the headlamp and taillamp.New Yamaha NMAX 155cc ScooterNmax has a multifunction full digital speedometer that displays a range of info such as fuel gauge, speed, clock and real-time fuel economy. Users can access a range of connectivity features via Yamaha Y-Connect app. It includes maintenance recommendations, malfunction notification, fuel consumption tracking and parking location.As India already has Aerox 155, it is unlikely that Nmax will be launched here. However, it is possible that some of the updates introduced with Nmax could eventually make its way to Aerox 155. Cost of the upgrades will be a key factor that will determine whether Yamaha chooses to introduce new features for Aerox 155. In its present form, Aerox 155 is available at a starting price of Rs 1.39 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi). More

With the price hike, Yamaha is not offering anything new with their productsImage – Power RacerYamaha has always had a huge success with its motorcycles in India. Some, a lot and others, not so much. With motorcycles like YZF-R15 and MT15, Yamaha targets the younger and enthusiast motorcycle market and it has a good range of 125 cc scooters too. Yamaha hasn’t made it big in the budget commuter segment as they hoped. They had the YBR, SZ-R, Saluto, Alba, Gladiator, Libero, Crux and some more.Now, Yamaha has completely discarded the budget commuter segment altogether. Yamaha only targets premium buyers now. Scooters? Only 125 cc. Commuters? Starts from 150 cc. Yamaha also has pretty high price tags too. On top of it, Yamaha recently announced another price hike for their products without any additions. Some are hiked less while some are hiked more.Yamaha Scooter Prices June 2022Few Yamaha products like FZ 25, FZS 25, R15 V3 sold as R15S, drum brake variants of Fascino Hybrid and Ray ZR Hybrid are not the recipients of this price hike. The pricing that these products bore will be retained as we go forward.Coming to the scooters first, disc brake variants of Fascino Hybrid and RayZR Hybrid get around 0.57 to 0.6% hike across their colour options. This amounts to a flat Rs. 500 hike across their colour range. Aerox 155, on the other hand, gets a Rs. 2,000 price hike taking the price to Rs. 1,38,800 (ex-sh) with 1.46% price hike.Yamaha Scooter Prices June 2022Yamaha Motorcycle Prices June 2022Yamaha FZ-FI, FZS-FI, and FZS-FI Deluxe get a price hike of Rs. 1,000 each. Now, the new prices start from Rs. 1,12,700 for FZ-FI with 0.90% hike, Rs. 1,20,400 for FZS-FI with a 0.84% hike and Rs. 1,23,400 for FZS-FI Deluxe with a 0.82% price hike. The neo-retro themed FZ-X gets the same Rs. 1,000 hike which takes its price to Rs. 1,31,400 with a 0.77% price hike. (all prices ex-sh)Like Aerox 155, MT15 V2 also gets a hefty Rs. 2,000 price hike.

Yamaha X-Force gets some feature additions over the Aerox 155 that is on sale in India2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterJapan gets all the good stuff. We have been telling this for a long time now and it hasn’t made any difference at all. This is especially true when it comes to the automotive industry. The JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) vehicles are so good that they have a cult following. The modifying culture that these JDM vehicles enjoy are totally drool-worthy.Despite being one of the world’s largest two-wheeler markets, Japanese automotive manufacturers often don’t bring their entire product line-up to India. Same goes with Yamaha. The company’s motorcycle and scooter portfolio for JDM just got a new entrant.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterYamaha has been making good use of its 155 cc engine in scooters. We’ve seen the NMax 155, we’ve seen the Aerox 155 and now, Yamaha has equipped the potent R15’s engine on a new maxi-scooter. In comes Yamaha’s new kid on the block, X-Force maxi-styled scooter.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc Scooter is aiming to appeal to millennials and gen Z as reflected by its youthful and sporty styling. Just like Yamaha’s NMax maxi-scooter, X-Force is also based on the company’s successful Aerox 155 platform. This currently Japan-exclusive scooter lacks one thing from the Aerox 155 and NMax 155 that makes it more practical than those two. That is the central spine.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterLack of the central spine has carved out a lot of foot space and due to the flat floor board, it also opens up a lot of luggage space too. Like Aerox 155, it gets the liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 155 cc engine with VVA (variable valve actuation) making 14.7bhp and 14 Nm. We can also expect similar fuel efficiency figures to the Aerox 155.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterFeatures & LaunchIn terms of features, X-Force gets LED lighting all around and is coupled with a USB charging port for charging electronic gadgets on the go. It gets a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. This allows users to connect their smartphones to this LCD cluster and get call and SMS alerts and more such connected features.The headlamps get a split design with separate chambers for low beam and high beam. Front indicators are neatly integrated into the scooter’s body. Above the headlights, we see a Yamaha logo and a smoked visor to deflect wind blast away from the rider. It gets a 267 mm disc at front and a 230 mm unit at the rear and connecting the two, is a dual-channel ABS system.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterIn terms of suspension, it gets telescopic units at front and twin shockers at the rear. This scooter rides on 13” wheels unlike the 14” wheels on Aerox 155. It is shod with 120/70 rubber in the front and 130/70 rubber in the rear.Yamaha is charging a price of JPY 3,96,000 (Rs. 2.3 lakh ex-sh) for the equipment X-Force gets. Yamaha is highly unlikely to bring this scooter to India as its sibling, Aerox 155 is priced at Rs. 1.38 lakh (ex-sh) over here. Yamaha would have a tough time justifying almost double the price for a similar platform. It mainly competes against Honda’s Vario 160 in Japan. More
