India Yamaha Motor has launched two new motorcycles in the 150cc segment -- the XSR155 and the FZ-Rave -- marking an expansion of its premium and youth-focussed portfolio in the country. The new Yamaha XSR155 has been priced at Rs 1,49,990 (ex-showroom), while the Yamaha FZ-Rave carries a price tag of Rs 1,17,218 (ex-showroom).
The XSR155 marks Yamaha's entry into India's modern retro sport motorcycle category. The model integrates retro styling with modern engineering, carrying the global XSR design theme that features a round LED headlamp and taillight, teardrop-shaped fuel tank and LCD display.
Built on Yamaha's Deltabox frame, the XSR155 is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), producing 18.4PS of power and 14.2Nm of torque. It comes with a 6-speed gearbox featuring assist and slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, traction control, upside-down front forks and a linked-type monocross rear suspension.
Yamaha offers the XSR155 in four colours -- Metallic Grey, Vivid Red, Greyish Green Metallic and Metallic Blue -- along with two accessory packages -- Scrambler and Cafe Racer. The company aims to target riders seeking a combination of everyday usability and performance-oriented design.
The new FZ-Rave, meanwhile, strengthens Yamaha's FZ lineup in the 150cc segment. Drawing from the existing FZ-S platform, the FZ-Rave has been designed for younger urban riders. It gets a full-LED projector headlamp, sculpted fuel tank, cosmetic air vents, single-piece seat and compact exhaust.
The motorcycle is powered by Yamaha's tried-and-tested 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that develops 12.4PS of power and 13.3Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox, single-channel ABS, front and rear disc brakes and weighs 136kg with a 13-litre fuel tank. Yamaha offers the model in two colour choices -- Matte Titan and Metallic Black.
