The Yamaha FZ series has long been a household name in India’s motorcycle market, known for its muscular styling, reliable performance, and affordability. With the launch of the 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi, Yamaha has refreshed its popular streetfighter with new features and cosmetic updates, ensuring it remains competitive in the crowded 150cc segment.
Design and Styling
The FZ-S Fi has always been about street presence, and the 2025 model continues that tradition. The bike now comes with four new colour schemes—Metallic Grey, Matte Black, Ice-Fluo Vermillion, and Cyber Green. These vibrant shades add youthful energy to the motorcycle, appealing to riders who want their machine to stand out.
Other styling highlights include:
- Built-in LED flashers for a sleeker look.
- Class-D LED headlamp and LED tail light, offering better illumination and modern aesthetics.
- Sporty tank extensions and sharp body panels, reinforcing its aggressive stance.
Engine and Performance
Mechanically, the FZ-S Fi remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 149cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve engine producing 12.4 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 13.3 Nm torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox, tuned for smooth city rides and decent highway cruising.
While the performance figures remain modest compared to rivals, Yamaha has optimized the bike for fuel efficiency and reliability, making it a practical choice for daily commuting.
Features and Technology
The 2025 FZ-S Fi introduces several new features that enhance safety and convenience:
- Traction Control System (TCS): A segment-first feature that reduces wheelspin and improves stability.
- Y-Connect Bluetooth Connectivity: Allows riders to pair their smartphones for call alerts, SMS notifications, and ride analytics.
- OBD-2B Compliance: Ensures the bike meets the latest emission norms, making it future-ready.
- Digital LCD Instrument Cluster: Displays speed, fuel level, trip meter, and Bluetooth notifications.
These additions make the FZ-S Fi one of the most tech-savvy motorcycles in its class.
Pricing and Variants
The new FZ-S Fi is priced at ₹1.34 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is about ₹3,600 more than the previous version. Yamaha also offers a Hybrid variant with a Smart Motor Generator (SMG) that provides battery-assisted acceleration, priced at ₹1.44 lakh (ex-showroom).
This pricing positions the FZ-S Fi competitively against rivals like the Honda Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar 150, and TVS Apache RTR 160, while offering more advanced features.
Market Positioning
The FZ-S Fi has carved a niche as a stylish commuter with sporty appeal. Unlike performance-focused bikes in the 150–160cc segment, the FZ-S Fi emphasizes comfort, efficiency, and premium features. Its traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, and LED lighting give it an edge over traditional rivals.
Conclusion
The 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi is a thoughtful update to one of India’s most popular motorcycles. With new colours, advanced features like traction control, and OBD-2B compliance, it blends style with practicality. While its performance remains unchanged, the bike’s focus on safety, technology, and design ensures it continues to attract young riders and urban commuters.
For those seeking a motorcycle that balances daily usability with modern flair, the FZ-S Fi remains a compelling choice in 2025.
