MAW Enterprises, the sole official distributor of Yamaha in Nepal, has introduced the Yamaha FZ-X in the Nepalese market at a price of Rs 4,26,900.

The Yamaha FZ-X which is based on the popular FZ-S gets a neo-retro design inspired by the popular XSR series. It gets a circular LED projector headlamp with a LED DRL ring, a muscular-looking fuel tank, and an all-black exhaust. The FZ-X also gets a single-piece two-level seat, a tall handlebar, fork gaiters, and brushed aluminium brackets to lend a scrambler-inspired appearance. The motorcycle gets a brand new all-digital instrument console. It is available in three colours – Matt Copper, Metallic Blue, and Matte Black.

The FZ-X also features smartphone connectivity to work with the Yamaha Y-Connect app. The Y-Connect app displays phone notifications and several telemetric features like fuel consumption, maintenance recommendation, last parking position, malfunction, as well as the Revs Dashboard that displays data such as engine rpm, degree of throttle opening, rate of acceleration, eco-friendly riding indicator and real-time fuel consumption. However, it skips navigation or media control.

Powering the FZ-X is the same 149cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine from the FZ-S and delivers the identical 12.2 bhp and 13.6 Nm. This engine comes paired with a 5-speed transmission. Suspension duties on the new FZ-X are handled by telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock. Similarly, the braking duties are taken care of by disc brakes on both wheels with assistance from a single-channel ABS.

Likewise, the company has also launched its new scheme, “Road to MotoGP”. The “Road to MotoGP is a scheme offered at the purchase of Yamaha bikes, in which four lucky winners will get a chance to watch the MotoGP Live from Yamaha Paddock at Chang International Circuit, Thailand on October 2, 2022. The scheme applies to all Yamaha bike and scooter purchases from today, the company said.
