Riding a bike in India is not just a journey but an experience. People want bikes that are affordable, look great and are also full of technology. Keeping this thought in mind, Yamaha has launched its FZ-S Fi Hybrid. This bike is a blend of traditional 150cc engine and modern hybrid technology that makes every ride special.
Engine and Technology
The Yamaha FZ-S Fi Hybrid gets a 149cc air-cooled, single-cylinder Blue Core engine that produces around 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of torque. But the real specialty of this bike is the Smart Motor Generator, called SMG. This feature gives additional power support while starting the bike and during acceleration.

The advantage of this is that there is no jerk at all while starting the bike and you get a slight electric boost while driving. This feature is especially helpful when you are in a situation of frequent stop and go in traffic.
Design and Features
The Yamaha FZ series has always been known for its muscular and bold design. The FZ-S Fi Hybrid also carries forward the same DNA. Its muscular fuel tank and sharp design make it stand out on the roads. LED headlights and attractive body graphics make it even more stylish.
But its most advanced feature is the 4.2-inch full-colour TFT display. It is not just a speedometer but gives a smart cockpit experience. With Bluetooth connectivity, the rider can connect it to his smartphone using the Y-Connect app. This allows phone calls, messages and turn-by-turn navigation to be displayed directly on the screen.
Mileage and Performance
The biggest strength of the FZ-S Fi Hybrid is its excellent mileage. This bike can easily run for about 55 to 60 kilometres in one litre of petrol. Even in real conditions, people say that its mileage is around 58 to 61 kmpl. Getting such mileage in the 150cc segment is no less than a bonus.
The Eco mode indicator tells the rider when the bike is running on the least fuel. Hybrid assist and Yamaha’s Blue Core technology help to improve this mileage even more. Overall, this bike not only gives style and comfort but also proves to be light on the pocket in the long run.
Braking and Safety
Yamaha has also made this bike balanced in terms of safety. It has front and rear disc brakes with single-channel ABS. This system gives confidence to the rider even in case of sudden braking. The suspension setup is also balanced. There is a telescopic fork in the front and a monoshock in the rear, which makes the ride comfortable even on bad roads.
