Translation: What’s new in the FZ-X Hybrid?
The new FZ-X Hybrid is based on the standard FZ-X model, which is already popular for its robust structures and comfortable cars. But this version is built with Yamaha’s Smart Motor Scooter (SMG) technology – a form of new hybrid system that assists the internal combustion engine during diesel, reducing stress on the engine, and improving the diesel industry.
While hybrid systems are being seen in automobiles in India, motorcycles with such technology are rare. With the FZ-X Hybrid, Yamaha is establishing itself as a leader in the benchmark motorcycle scale.
Yamaha FZ-X Design and Styling: Philosophy from Classic to Contemporary
In terms of design, the FZ-X Hybrid retains the bold, ragged neo-retro look that sets it apart from its competition. The round arched headlamp, muscular full tank with bruised metal accents, large single-pace seat and upright riding stance all epitomise the blend of classic styling with modern practicality.
Key design documents:
- Vertical headlight with engineered axle
- Appealing fork gaiters and slanted handlebars
Stylish-tone look
- Robust bash plate and metal finish for urban scrambler vibes
- Electronics-enabled digital plaster mortar
The hybrid version doesn’t stray too far from its original language, but features hybrid badging and new language to incorporate its eco-friendly character.
Hybrid classification: How it works
At the heart of the Yamaha FZ-X BIHAR is the Smart Motor Driver (SMG) system. It is similar to the mild hybrid system that Yamaha has previously offered in its classes like the Fascino 125 and RayZR.
Here’s how the FZ-X Hybrid works in SMG:
- Start/Stop System: Gives the Siberian a supplementary information of silent start and smooth restart, especially useful in sausages.
- Electric Assistance: The electric motor provides a small boost during the initial acceleration or when extra roller is needed.
- Generator plant: The electrical plant is boosted by 10-15%.
- Battery regeneration: The iridescent-ion battery is recharged during deceleration and braking.
This technology is built into the aluminium, meaning riders will not notice any jolts or sudden changes between electric assist and petrol power. The hybrid system works in the background to support faster and more efficient trains.
Yamaha FZ-X Engine and Performance
The Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid is powered by the same 149cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine as the regular FZ-X. It produces 5- to 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of peak torque with satellite architecture. With the addition of the SMG system, Yamaha claims significant improvement in low-end studs and acceleration.
Performance benefits of the SMG system:
- Improved throttle response during city riding
- Improved start and go electronics
- Smooth motor speed/stop transitions
- More eco-friendly laptops
Although it may not be a performance machine, the FZ-X offers a refined, passenger-friendly performance with additional technology to keep the car efficient and smart.

Yamaha has ensured that the FZ-X Hybrid features promote both convenience and safety.
Notable features include:
Yamaha Wi-Connect app integration for mechanical engineering, rideshare, navigation reminders and call/SMS possibilities.
