India Yamaha Motor (IYM) has introduced its first-ever hybrid motorcycle, the 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi Hybrid, marking a significant step in the evolution of the FZ series. Priced at ₹1,44,800 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi), the latest iteration of the FZ-S Fi Hybrid features a refined, well-proportioned design with sharper tank cover edges while maintaining its signature muscular presence. Enhancing its aerodynamic appeal, the motorcycle now integrates front turn signals within the air intake area, giving it a sleeker and more aggressive look.
Innovative Hybrid Powertrain for Enhanced Performance & Efficiency
At the heart of the FZ-S Fi Hybrid is a 149cc Blue Core engine, now compliant with OBD-2B regulations. Equipped with Yamaha’s Smart Motor Generator (SMG) and Stop & Start System (SSS), the motorcycle delivers:
– Quieter starts with battery-assisted ignition
– Enhanced acceleration through hybrid power assist
– Improved fuel efficiency by automatically shutting off the engine at idle and restarting with a quick clutch action
Next-Gen Connectivity & Rider Comfort
The 2025 FZ-S Fi Hybrid introduces a 4.2-inch full-color TFT instrument cluster, seamlessly integrating with smartphones via the Y-Connect app. This system offers:
- Turn-by-Turn (TBT) navigation, linked to Google Maps
- Real-time route guidance, including intersection details and road names
- A user-friendly interface for a hassle-free riding experience
Further enhancing rider comfort, Yamaha has optimized the handlebar position for improved ergonomics on long rides. Switch placements have been adjusted for better accessibility, even while wearing gloves, and the horn switch has been repositioned for ease of use. The fuel tank now features an airplane-style cap that remains attached during refueling, adding a layer of convenience.
The 2025 FZ-S Fi Hybrid will be available in two striking colors: Racing Blue and Cyan Metallic Grey.
A New Era for Yamaha’s FZ Series
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Itaru Otani, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group, emphasized the significance of this milestone:
