Engine and Performance
The Yamaha FZ is powered by a 149cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, Blue Core engine that generates around 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of torque. This engine comes with BS6 technology, which not only gives better performance but also makes it more environment-friendly.
The bike feels smooth and light in city traffic. The clutch and gear shifting are quite comfortable, making everyday riding hassle-free. Although it may feel a little weak if pushed above 90 kmph on the highway, it gives the perfect balance for daily use and occasional long rides.
Design
The FZ series has always been known for its bold and muscular design. The new Yamaha FZ retains the same DNA but comes with a more modern touch. Its muscular fuel tank, sharp headlamp design and sporty styling give it a distinct identity on the roads. LED headlights and LED DRLs make night riding attractive and safe. Yamaha has also kept the rider’s comfort in mind in this bike. Wide and comfortable seat, upright riding posture and light weight make it perfect for all types of riding.

Single-channel ABS and disc brakes make the bike reliable in terms of braking.
