Yamaha has finally unveiled the 2021
Cygnus Gryphus in Taiwan. Apart from the sporty design, the highlight of the
all-new scooter is the 125cc liquid-cooled engine which comes with Yamaha’s VVA
(Variable Valve Actuation) and Blue Core technologies.
The 125cc single-cylinder mill on the new
2021 Cygnus Gryphus has been tuned to produce a maximum power of 12 PS at
8,000 rpm and 11.2 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. The presence of VVA should
ensure that the scooter performs evenly throughout the entire rev-range. The
new 2021 Yamaha Cygnus Gryphus is capable of returning a fuel economy of up to
48.9 km/l.
Yamaha has done a brilliant job when it
comes to the design of the 2021 Cygnus Gryphus. The 125cc scooter features a
very aggressive front end thanks to the dual-LED headlamps. The sporty exhaust,
sharp body panels, and alloy wheels enhance the side profile. At the rear,
there is a very attractive LED taillamp cluster and split pillion grab rails.
Yamaha has also added a fully-digital instrument cluster which is not the most
advanced unit that we have seen but it gets the job done. Overall, the 2021
Cygnus Gryphus scores full points in the styling section.
To improve the stability of the 2021
Cygnus Gryphus, Yamaha has used an asymmetric frame. For the suspension, there
is a pair of conventional telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers.
The braking is handled by a single 245mm disc brake at the front and a 230mm
disc brake at the rear. For safety, there is either a dual-channel ABS or UBS
(similar to CBS).
The dual-channel ABS variant of the 2021
Yamaha Cygnus Gryphus has 5 colour options including Light Grey/Dark Grey, Dark
Blue/Dark Grey, White/Dark Grey, Matte Dark Grey, and Grey/Dark Grey. On the
other hand, the UBS variant has only 3 colour options - White/Dark Grey, Matte
Dark Grey, and Grey/Dark Grey. Yamaha has also added a Monster Energy MotoGP
livery for the MotoGP fans.
As far as the pricing of the 2021 Cygnus
Gryphus is concerned, Yamaha has not revealed it yet.
