Yamaha RX 100 : The legendary Yamaha RX 100—a name that once defined speed and style on Indian roads in the 90s—is all set to make a grand comeback. Revered for its sharp pickup, lightweight body, and iconic two-stroke engine sound, the RX 100 was more than a bike—it was a phenomenon among youth. Now, Yamaha brings it back with a modern twist, combining retro design with up-to-date performance and technology.

Retro Styling with a Touch of Modern Tech

The new Yamaha RX 100 will retain the slim fuel tank, round headlamp, and minimalist bodywork reminiscent of the original, ensuring that nostalgic feel is intact. However, the 2025 version will also feature LED headlamps, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and an improved suspension setup, making it more aligned with today’s expectations without losing its classic charm.

New 100cc BS6 Engine: Refined Yet Powerful

Since the iconic 98cc two-stroke engine no longer complies with modern emission norms, Yamaha has equipped the new RX 100 with a BS6-compliant 100cc four-stroke engine. While it may not replicate the original’s raw speed and sound, this engine promises better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and reliable performance for daily city commuting.

A Bike for Two Generations

The 2025 RX 100 isn’t just a relaunch—it’s a reimagination. It’s built for two types of riders:

Veteran riders who cherish the original RX 100’s legacy
New-age commuters looking for a stylish, efficient, and lightweight 100cc bike

Yamaha aims to price the new RX 100 under ₹1 lakh, which could make it one of the most attractive bikes in the entry-level segment—blending affordability, nostalgia, and practicality.

Verdict: Old-School Soul with a New-Age Heart

While this modern RX 100 won’t bring back the legendary two-stroke roar, it brings refinement, usability, and classic looks to today’s generation. Whether you’re reliving your memories or making new ones, the 2025 Yamaha RX 100 is ready to reclaim its throne—this time with a cleaner engine and smarter features.
