Design
The design of the Yamaha FZ-X is the first thing that catches the eye. It has a round LED headlamp and retro style body panels that make it different from other street bikes. Chunky tyres, sculpted fuel tank and high-set handlebar further strengthen its road presence. The bike gives a cruiser-like feel, but the handling is so light that it is easy to drive even in city traffic.
Engine
However, the FZ-X gets the reliable 149cc, air-cooled, FI engine of the Yamaha FZ series. This engine generates about 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of torque. The performance may not seem aggressive but it gives a perfect balance for daily ride and highway cruising.

Comfort
Yamaha has prepared the comfort level of this bike with special attention. Upright Riding Position, Wide Seat and Comfortable Suspension Setup make it ideal for long rides. Telescopic Forks in the front and 7-Step Adjustable Monoshock in the rear give stability to the rider even on uneven roads. Its pillion seat is also wide, which makes the journey of two people comfortable.

Yamaha FZ-X is not just limited to style and comfort, it is also full of modern features. It has a digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity which shows call, SMS and app alerts. It also has Side-Stand Engine Cut-Off, Single-Channel ABS and LED Lighting Setup. While features like USB Charger and Under Cowl Protection make it a practical choice.
