Many people are talking about the Yamaha RX 100 again, since it used to be so popular in India in the past. Many young people feel excited when they hear the name of this bike and can recall the fun times from the past. What makes it different from other cars is its powerful engine, quick speed, and the way it sounds. The latest news is that a new version of the Yamaha FZ is on its way and will come with some updates. Let’s explore what is new in the product and see what useful things can be used with it.
RX 100 In Modern Avatar
The Yamaha RX 100 is estimated to release sometime later in 2026 or 2027. Due to new regulations about pollution control, the brand does not use the 98cc two-stroke engine that was originally on the Kinoer bikes. For this reason, the RX 100 will have a 100cc or 200cc engine that is powered by fuel injection. It will aim to provide the same enjoyable and fast experience even after its upgrades.
Price And Variants
The approximate price of the coming Yamaha RX 100 will be something between ₹ 1,00,000 and ₹ 1,50,000 (outside the showroom). There are sites suggesting that the 2019 model of the Yamaha FZ-FI could cost you around ₹ 1.1 lakh in Delhi. You’ll get one type of bike, but you can select from among black, red, blue, or silver colors.
Design
You will find a lot in common with the previous design while looking at the new RX 100. A round headlamp, a teardrop fuel tank, and lots of chrome will help make the bike’s design look like something from the past. In addition, adding LED headlights and a digital cluster will keep the car modern in appearance. Since the car is both light and slim, it becomes easy to drive it in the city or along highways.
Performance And Mileage
Around 10-11 bhp of power from the RX 100’s engine makes it capable of reaching around 100-110 km/h on an average. It claims to use 40-56 km of fuel for every liter, making it great for driving long distances. With 10 liters of fuel, it can go for a long period of time between fills.
Features and Technology
Examples of modern car features are LED headlights, a display that shows info on the car, and possibly a way to link your phone to the vehicle. Choosing drum brakes and regular tires will help your car cost less to run, but you may also want to add nicer alloy wheels and a shock system in some models. You can turn over the engine of this bike with your foot in case of a mechanical problem.
Youth Craze
There is still a lot of interest in RX 100. Prices of used older models on the second hand market range from ₹ 55,000 up to ₹ 2,20,000. Launching the new RX 100 makes older fans and young motorcyclists happy alike. TVS Raider and the Hero Splendor Plus are other bikes that it will compete with.
Challenges And Expectations
It is very hard for Yamaha to match the classic feel and stream with a four-stroke motors instead of a two-stroke outboard. At the same time, the company is bringing in innovations while still keeping a classic feel in its products so that users can attach them to older or newer frames.
