The bike definitely does not follow the old styling and is unique in its own way. Price is one of the major factors which puts this bike in a place where it does not have any direct rival. The bike costs INR 9,000 more than the FZ-S with Bluetooth connectivity and a full Rs 12,000 more than the standard FZ. All in all this bike sits between Yamaha’s 150cc and 250cc FZ models when it comes to the pricing.

Same Engine As The Standard FZ

You will get the same engine as in the standard FZ with the FZ-X. As a result, this bike will make the same power and torque numbers as the other 150cc FZ models. The air-cooled, two-valve, SOHC engine produces 12.4hp at 7,250rpm and 13.3Nm at 5,500rpm, which are the lowest figures in the 150-160cc segment.

Having this feature by your side helps you connect your smartphone via the Yamaha Connect application to get access to features like call and SMS alerts and more. This system also has a unique feature where it allows you to compare your fuel efficiency data with other Yamaha owners.

Is This Bike An Actual Scrambler?

While simply looking at this bike many might think this of a retro scrambler, underneath the new bodywork, the FZ and the FZ-X are the same. The look of the bike depicts it as an off-road bike, but it is a pure road bike. The bike is designed in such a way that it will give you a normal riding experience. The FZ-X is heavier than the other FZs which definitely is a negative point for this bike as the 150cc FZ range already has one of the lowest power-to-weight ratios in its class.
