The Yamaha FZ-S FI is a motorcycle that strikes the perfect balance between aggressive styling, refined performance, and daily rideability. Since its debut, the FZ series has carved out a niche for itself among urban riders in India and beyond, and the latest FZ-S FI continues this legacy with several thoughtful updates.
Design: Muscular Yet Mature
One of the standout features of the FZ-S FI is its streetfighter-inspired design. The sculpted fuel tank, sharp tank shrouds, and minimalist tail give the bike a muscular stance, while color schemes and graphics (like the “Matte Red” and “Dark Matte Blue”) add to its premium appeal. The LED headlight and tail lamp bring a modern touch, and the digital LCD instrument console displays all essential information with crisp clarity.
Yamaha has also paid attention to rider ergonomics. The wide handlebar, upright seating position, and well-padded seat ensure comfort, whether you’re navigating city traffic or cruising on open roads.
Performance: Tuned for Real-World Use
At the heart of the FZ-S FI lies a 149cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine, producing around 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of torque. While these numbers may seem modest on paper, the bike’s refined FI system and torque-friendly tuning make it peppy enough for urban rides. The Blue Core technology enhances combustion efficiency, aiding both performance and fuel economy.
The 5-speed gearbox is slick and well-matched to the engine’s characteristics, providing smooth shifts and solid low-end grunt. It’s not a speed demon, but it’s quick off the line and very manageable, especially for new riders or city commuters.
Ride and Handling: Built for the Streets
Yamaha has always excelled in chassis dynamics, and the FZ-S FI is no exception. The telescopic front forks and monoshock rear suspension offer a balanced ride over potholes and speed bumps. The lightweight diamond frame keeps handling sharp and nimble, and the 140mm wide rear radial tyre offers commendable grip in dry and wet conditions.
Adding to the safety quotient is a single-channel ABS system paired with front and rear disc brakes, giving riders confidence during hard braking.
Features and Variants
The latest iterations of the FZ-S FI come with several updates:
- Bluetooth connectivity (in the FZ-S FI Deluxe) for call alerts, SMS notifications, and vehicle tracking.
- Side-stand engine cutoff, a practical safety addition.
- Metallic and matte dual-tone finishes for added flair.
Yamaha offers the FZ-S FI in multiple variants, catering to different aesthetic preferences and feature requirements, keeping the lineup accessible yet customizable.
Fuel Efficiency and Practicality
Thanks to its FI system and engine tuning, the FZ-S FI delivers impressive mileage figures, averaging around 45–50 km/l, making it a fuel-efficient choice for daily commutes. With a 13-liter fuel tank, it’s got a decent range too.
