The Yamaha FZ Rave is the essence of a well-balanced, stylish urban commuter bike with a neat mix of power, a trendsetting ride, trendy features, and a competitive price in India. A 149cc BS6 air-cooled engine powers it, which can generate up to 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of torque. The motorcycle’s weight is 136 kg, and to ensure the safety of the rider, the Yamaha FZ Rave comes with single-channel ABS and front and rear disc brakes.
Design and Features
The Yamaha FZ Rave has a sharp and hawk-like style that is literally emphasized with the sculpted, muscular fuel tank, LED projector headlamp with DRIs, and sporty alloy wheels. The fully digital instrument cluster is fitted with a speedometer, odometer, tachometer, two trip meters, and clock; the 13-liter fuel tank and comfortable one-piece seat make daily commuting and city rides extremely easy and comfortable.
Performance and Engine
By means of its 149cc air-cooled SOHC 2-valve engine, the machine is able to deliver 12.4 PS at 7250 rpm and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm, thus giving a smooth and refined performance, particularly in urban traffic. The 5-speed gearbox is connected to a chain drive and offers riding dynamics that are good for fuel efficiency, which is at 45 to 60 km/l as per the claim.
Safety and Handling
The FZ Rave is fitted with front and rear disc brakes as well as single-channel ABS to improve the rider’s safety. The diamond frame chassis and the low curb weight of 136 kg not only give the bike good stability but also make it easy to handle in the city. The tubeless tires are a convenience feature that is apart from the safety side.
Pricing and Availability
The Yamaha FZ Rave is available for purchase at a price of around Rs. 1.17 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and can be bought in two colors: Matte Titan and Metallic Black. It is vying for the market with sporty 150cc segment brothers such as Bajaj Pulsar N160, Suzuki Gixxer SF, and Yamaha FZS FI variants. The bike suits perfectly well the coming generation, who are looking for a trendy, reliable, and fuel-efficient commuter and at the same time are happy to have the brand of Yamaha as a seal of quality, sleek design, and features targeted for urban mobility.
