YAMAHA
LAUNCHES SALUTO WITH DISC BRAKE & NEW COLORS AT RS 54,500
Yamaha
India has updated their recently launched 125 cc motorcycle, Saluto with a
front disc brake and new graphics and paint scheme. The disc brake variant
costs Rs 54,500 which is Rs 2,500 more than the standard variant. Launched in
April this year, Saluto is Yamaha’s attempt to fight back in the declining
125cc segment, against rivals like Shine and others.
The
mechanicals remain the same, with the 125 cc Blue Core unit producing 8.3 PS of
maximum power at 7,000 rpm and 10.1 Nm of peak torque at 4,500 rpm. The
Japanese motorcycle manufacturer claims that the bike, at 113 kilos, is the
lightest in its class and gets a fuel efficiency rating of 78 kmpl!
Saluto
will now be available in four new colours:
- Glory Green
- Bold Blue
- Dashing White
- Majestic Red
