Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Latest News & Updates 2026

The most significant recent development for Ray ZR 125 owners and buyers is the 2025 lineup update launched on August 14, 2025. Yamaha refreshed the entire RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid range with two substantive changes: an Enhanced Power Assist upgrade to the hybrid SMG system, and new colour options. At launch, the Drum started at Rs 79,340 and the Street Rally opened at Rs 92,970 (both ex-showroom). Prices have since been revised - as of June 2026, the Drum sits at Rs 76,960 (ex-showroom Delhi).

New colours for 2025:

  • Silver White Cocktail (standard Disc variants)
  • Matte Grey Metallic (Street Rally)

Enhanced Power Assist: Yamaha's description covers improved sustained high torque and better pickup at low speeds from the SMG hybrid system. The claim is improved efficiency and feel versus the pre-2025 setup, though independent back-to-back testing data remains limited.

Recall notice (action required): Yamaha issued a safety recall for RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid units manufactured between May 2, 2024, and September 3, 2025. The issue: the front brake caliper may show limited function under certain operating conditions. Affected owners must contact the nearest Yamaha authorised service centre for a free inspection and repair. This is the most important action item for anyone who purchased in that manufacturing window.

May 2026 price increase: Yamaha raised the RayZR 125 range prices by Rs 2,200 across all variants, citing increased material and production costs. This was the first significant price revision since the August 2025 launch.

Official Updates (4)

  • Yamaha hiked the RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid range prices by Rs 2,200 effective May 7, 2026, citing higher input and logistics costs. The Drum variant now starts at Rs 76,960 (up from Rs 74,760), Disc at Rs 83,760, Disc Deluxe at Rs 84,660, and Street Rally at Rs 89,760 - all ex-showroom Delhi.

  • Yamaha Ray ZR 125 sold 17,298 units in April 2026 - up 21.96% year-on-year from 14,183 units in April 2025, retaining its position as Yamaha India's top-selling model with a 25.44% share of Yamaha's domestic monthly lineup.

  • Yamaha increased RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid prices by Rs 660 in April 2026 - the first of two consecutive hikes within two months. All six variants were affected; the Drum rose to Rs 74,760 ex-showroom Delhi before the subsequent May revision.

  • Yamaha India issued a voluntary recall on January 23, 2026, covering 3,06,635 units of the RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid and Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid manufactured between May 2, 2024, and September 3, 2025. The front brake caliper may show limited function under certain conditions; Yamaha is replacing the affected part at no charge at authorised service centres.

Two priority actions from recent news: (1) If you own a Ray ZR 125 manufactured between May 2024 and September 2025, book a recall inspection - the brake caliper issue is serious and the repair is covered at no charge by Yamaha. (2) If you're shopping new, buy a unit manufactured after September 2025: it gets Enhanced Power Assist, is not subject to the recall, and carries current pricing. No new model year update has been announced as of mid-2026, so the current specification is expected to hold through at least the end of 2026 barring further material cost revisions.
