India Yamaha Motor has launched the new Yamaha Ray
ZR Street Rally variant in India, priced at INR 57,898 (ex-showroom Delhi). The
scooter will reach Yamaha dealerships from the last week of July 2018. The Ray ZR Street Rally edition is available
in two colours schemes - Rally Red and Racing Blue. The Street Rally features a
new ‘Wing Style fairing’ inspired from the Yamaha MT-09, which not only
enhances the sporty design but also serves as a wind deflector.
The ‘Knuckle Guard’ or the winglets protects the
handle grips from windblast, while the movable front fender protects from mud
splatter. The scooter features an all-digital instrument cluster and a roller
rocker arm’, which reduces power loss in extremely low-speed ranges. Cosmetic
changes include new sporty ‘Street Rally’ decals on the side panels and the
front fairing.
Unlike the model showcased at the Auto Expo 2018,
the production-spec Ray ZR Street Rally features black alloy wheels and white
rear mono-shock. The two-wheeler comes with a 170 mm front disc brake and a
rear drum brake setup. It features a generous under-seat storage capacity of 21
litres, while the front storage pocket can fit a 500 ml bottle. The Yamaha Ray
ZR Street Rally features a key-secure-grip system and a two-level raised seat.
The Yamaha Ray ZR Street Rally employs a 113 cc,
air-cooled, single-cylinder, 2-valve SOHC engine with Blue Core technology that
pairs to a CVT gearbox. The engine is capable of churning out 7.1 bhp of
maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 8.10 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm. The Ray ZR
Street Rally rivals the Honda Dio, TVS Jupiter, and the Honda Activa 5G.
