After unveiling the Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid range at the launch event of the Yamaha FZ-X back in June this year, the Japanese manufacturer has now launched the scooter in India. The RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid is available in both standard and Street Rally variants. Take a look at the ex-showroom, Delhi price list of all the variants, colour-wise:
While the standard model is Rs 3,500 more expensive than the one without the hybrid system, the Street Rally variant with the hybrid tech will set you back by Rs 6,500 over the one without the tech. Yamaha offers Bluetooth connectivity in the disc brake-equipped variant of the standard RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid, as well as on the Street Rally variant as standard. This connectivity enables features such as Ride History, Locate My Vehicle, Hazard Lamp function, Answer Back, and Parking Record for added convenience. However, there’s no turn-by-turn navigation.
The disc variant of the RayZR 125 Hybrid and the Street Rally Hybrid also feature a redesigned, fully digital instrument cluster, and LED headlamp as standard. More importantly, the Hybrid variants get a mild-hybrid system where the Smart Motor Generator (silent starter) doubles up as an electric motor to aid acceleration from standstill. It deactivates automatically three seconds after starting, or when the throttle is cut off, or when it reaches the preset rpm level. This should help conserve fuel and even offer zippier performance in the city. The technology was launched in the Fascino first, and you can find out whether it really makes a difference in the real world in our exclusive review here.

With the hybrid tech, the 125cc air-cooled, fuel-injected motor produces 8.2PS and 10.3Nm (0.6Nm more than the one without the hybrid tech). The two scooters tip the scales at 99kg kerb, making them one of the lightest scooters in its segment. Both scooters get a 785mm tall seat and a ground clearance of 145mm. The scooters are equipped with a telescopic front fork, single rear shock absorber, 12-inch front and 10-inch rear wheel with either a drum brake or a 190mm disc unit up front. The rear comes with drum brakes as standard.
Other notable features that are standard across all the RayZR 125 models include a silent starter, combined braking system, side stand engine cut-off function, a generous 21-litre underseat storage, and stop-and-start system. LED indicators are optional, costing Rs 1,490 for a pair. The Street Rally variant is essentially a more rugged looking version, complete with slightly redesigned apron and side panels, hand guards, and block pattern tyres with a front disc brake.
The two scooters go up against the Honda Grazia 125, TVS NTorq 125, Suzuki Burgman Street, and Aprilia SR 125.
