Yamaha FZS-FI V4

Yamaha has announced festive period offers for the FZ-S Fi V4. Check out the details here.

The Yamaha FZS-FI V4 is the fourth-generation version of the FZ, a premium 150cc commuter motorcycle range from Yamaha. Apart from the design and feature updates over the previous third-generation FZS-FI V3 (which is still on sale alongside it), the new Yamaha FZS-FI V4 retains the engine and the rest of the mechanical setup from the former.

Yamaha FZS-FI V4 Key Highlights

The standard variant is available at Rs 1,29,200, and has two colour options including Matte Black and Dark Matte Blue, both with black alloy wheels and contrast pinstriping.

All the colours are priced at Rs 1,29,700 (ex-showroom Delhi) and have contrast-coloured alloy wheels.

Features: Yamaha made crucial tweaks and added some features in the FZS-FI V4, including a revised fascia with a new LED headlamp and daytime running LEDs to its sides.

This display unit has a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, gear indicator and real-time mileage indicator. The riding aids offered as standard in the Yamaha FZS-FI V4 include a single-channel ABS and traction control (overkill for a 150cc bike, if you ask us).

Engine: Both variants of the Yamaha FZS-FI V4 are powered by the same tried-and-tested single-cylinder, air-cooled, 149cc engine, which has been retained from the FZS-FI V3.

This premium commuter motorcycle from Yamaha has a 282mm disc brake at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear, with single-channel ABS. The Yamaha FZS-FI V4 continues to come with a 13-litre fuel tank. While the seat height of the Yamaha FZS-FI V4 is 790mm, the ground clearance of the motorcycle is 165mm.
