Yamaha has finally launched the BS6 FZ 25
in India. The more eco-friendly 250cc motorcycle has been priced at INR 1.52
lakh*. The BS6 Yamaha FZ 25 was first unveiled in February this year. The new
quarter-litre motorbike was slated to be launched in our country in April.
However, things got delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. But since some
form of normalcy is getting restored in the nation now, Yamaha has finally
launched the new BS6 FZ 25.
To give the BS6 Yamaha FZ 25 a more
aggressive and sporty look, the Japanese firm has implemented certain new
features in the motorcycle. For example, there is a new headlight assembly
which incorporates a bi-function type single headlamp that works for both high
and low beam now. Also new is the LED DRL that further enhances the bike’s
styling. The BS6 FZ 25 comes equipped with a fully-digital instrument cluster
that has a negative display. This means that it should be easily legible even
in broad daylight. For safety, there is a side stand engine cut off feature as
well as dual-channel ABS.
Powering the new FZ 25 is a 249 cc,
single-cylinder engine which features a SOHC setup along with electronic fuel
injection. The air-cooled mill complies with the latest and more stringent
Bharat Stage 6 emission standards. It is tuned to churn out 20.8 PS of power and
20.1 Nm of peak torque. For reference, the BS4 model of the Yamaha FZ 25 had a
peak power of 20.9 PS and 20 Nm of maximum torque. The transmission here is a
5-speed unit.
As for the hardware, the suspension duties
on the new BS6 Yamaha FZ 25 are carried out by a pair of telescopic forks at
the front and 7-step adjustable monocross rear shock. The braking comes from a
282mm front disc and 220mm rear disc. The new BS6 Yamaha FZ 25 is available in
two colour options - Metallic Black and Racing Blue. Both of them feature black
alloy wheels and cost the same.
