New Yamaha FZ Bike Design Patented.
Yamaha has patented the design of its new Yamaha FZ bike in India. The new design has one special feature – the turn indicators are mounted on the fuel tank, which gives it a unique identity.
But if you are expecting flashy or fancy tank graphics, then wait a bit. The styling in this design is kept simple and subdued, especially around the tank shroud extensions.
Yamaha has taken a minimalist approach this time, where the design looks practical and clean, nostalgic yet modern.
Specs: India’s First 150cc Hybrid Powertrain Continues.
Yamaha’s FZ-S Fi Hybrid has already become India’s first 150cc hybrid bike. This new variant is also expected to come with a 149cc Blue Core engine, which will get Yamaha’s smart starter motor generator and stop/start system.
The Blue Core technology improves the bike’s fuel efficiency even more, as the start is quite silent and the battery supports acceleration. What this hybrid setup means is – a perfect combo of power & practicality for mileage lovers and city commuters.
Features: Cut-Down Version For Cost Savings?
From the design patent that has surfaced, it seems that Yamaha is planning an affordable version that could be a simpler version of the existing FZ-S Fi Hybrid. It may not have a TFT instrument cluster and may also drop painted alloy wheels.
The company may name this new Yamaha FZ bike as FZ Fi Hybrid, without the “S”, which could be launched with slightly lower specs. This move could be for buyers who want hybrid features but not high-end features.
New Yamaha FZ Bike Price in India.
Currently, the FZ-S Fi Hybrid is priced at ₹1.45 lakh (ex-showroom). This new Yamaha FZ variant could be cheaper than that by ₹5,000-₹10,000 – i.e., expected price around ₹1.4 lakh (Ex-showroom).
If Yamaha goes with this pricing strategy, this bike could become India’s most affordable hybrid bike in its segment – and that too without major compromises.
Launch Timeline: Closer Than You Think?
While there is no official confirmation yet, the filing of the design patent means that Yamaha’s launch plan has advanced quite a bit.
Assumingly, we can expect to see this New Yamaha FZ Bike by the end of 2025 or in the early months of 2026. With hybrid tech, Yamaha is once again going to create buzz in the market, and that too in mid-range pricing.
Current Lineup Confusion: A Quick Recap.
Are you confused by Yamaha’s FZ lineup? Well, you are not alone! Yamaha currently has versions like FZ-Fi, FZ-S Fi Ver 3.0, Ver 4.0, and Ver 4.0 DLX.
But the newest hybrid models come without suffixes like “Ver 4.5” – like the FZ-S Fi Hybrid. These new design patents suggest that Yamaha is looking to simplify and modernize its lineup.
Should You Wait For the New Yamaha FZ Bike?
If you are looking for a modern, fuel-efficient, and value-for-money bike, the New Yamaha FZ Bike could be a game-changer for you.
With the benefits of hybrid technology, compact styling, and the expected lower price point, this model is a strong package for city riders, students, and young professionals.
So, will you wait for this new Yamaha FZ Hybrid variant? Or will you buy the first model itself? Let’s see how Yamaha reshapes the 150cc game again!
