FZ X Specifications

The Yamaha FZ X runs a 149cc air-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder BS6 Phase 2 motor tuned for real-world urban use rather than peak power. It makes 12.4 PS at 7,250 rpm and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm - figures that won't win a drag race but translate into smooth, stress-free throttle response in city traffic. The Blue Core engine is shared with the FZ-S FI and has a strong reliability record across India.

The ARAI-certified fuel efficiency is 55.11 kmpl, placing the FZ X comfortably in the top tier of 150cc bikes for economy. Real-world owners typically report 40-50 kmpl in heavy city use and close to the claimed figure on long highway stints.

Kerb weight is 139 kg - light enough to flick through narrow lanes and handle with confidence. The 810mm seat height is manageable for most Indian riders, though shorter riders should do a sit-test before buying. Ground clearance is 165mm, adequate for urban roads without making the ride position feel precarious.

Braking is handled by a 282mm front disc and 220mm rear disc, with single-channel ABS as standard. Single-channel means ABS works only at the front wheel - the rear can still lock under aggressive braking, so keep that in mind on wet roads.

Suspension is a 41mm telescopic fork up front and a 7-step adjustable monocross unit at the rear. Both ends lean firm - tuned for stability over comfort - which can feel punishing on rough tarmac.

The 10-litre fuel tank with a 1.6L reserve gives a realistic range of 450-500 km per fill. Standout equipment includes traction control (rare at this price), a full-LCD instrument cluster with Y-Connect Bluetooth, USB Type-A charging port, LED projector headlamp with integrated DRL, and a tuck-and-roll split seat that comfortably fits two riders.
