New avatar of Yamaha RX100
Yamaha RX100 is not an ordinary bike, but an emotion. It ruled the roads of India from 1985 to 1996. In that era, the talks of the speed, pickup and speed of RX100 were spread in every village. Now that it is the era of electric and high-tech bikes, Yamaha has decided that it will refresh its old brand again. The new model will come with the same name but with a modern touch, so that it can connect with all the young and old riders.
This time Yamaha RX100 will come with a powerful engine and great design, but its signature loud sound and style will also be retained. According to the company, this bike will be introduced with new safety features and BS6 compliant engine.
Powerfull engine and performance of Yamaha RX100
The new Yamaha RX100 will now be given a 4-stroke engine, which is made according to BS6 norms. The earlier RX100 had a 98cc two-stroke engine, which gave amazing speed to the bike, but due to the current rules, the use of two-stroke engine is not possible. The company can launch it with a 125cc or 150cc engine.
The weight of this bike will be light, due to which its pickup will be excellent. Like the old model, this bike will also be able to easily catch a speed of more than 100 kmph. Keeping the youth in mind, its gear system is being made smooth and mileage is also being improved. It is believed that this bike can give a mileage of 45 to 50 kilometers in one liter.
Look and features of RX100
The new Yamaha RX100 will be introduced as a great combination of classic look and modern features. The design of its tank will be kept retro as before, but the lights, display and seating arrangement will be updated. Features like digital instrument cluster, LED headlamp and USB charging can also be added to the bike.
The company has clarified that the sound of the bike will also be kept the same as the old RX100, so that the old feeling remains. The bike will be provided with safety features like front disc brakes and ABS instead of drum brakes. This is the reason why the new avatar of Yamaha RX100 can become a center of attraction for riders both in villages and cities.
Yamaha RX100 Price and Launch Date
As far as the price is concerned, the new Yamaha RX100 bike can be launched at a price starting from Rs 1 lakh. However, this price can be slightly higher or lower according to the variants and features of the bike.
Talking about the launch, the company has not yet finalized its date, but it is expected that by the end of 2025, Yamaha RX100 will knock again in the Indian market. Before this, the company is engaged in strengthening its dealership network and promotional activities.
