Yamaha Motor India has pulled the covers off its updated 2025 FZ-S Fi, giving the iconic streetfighter a fresh new look, regulatory upgrades, and an attractive pricing strategy. The bike now starts at ₹1.25 lakh (ex-showroom)—a hike of ₹3,600 compared to the outgoing model—but the older version will remain available for sale, offering a rare dual-choice scenario for Indian consumers.
What’s New in the 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi?
Yamaha’s 2025 iteration brings visual finesse and compliance upgrades, while retaining the FZ-S Fi’s proven engineering DNA.
🔶 Key Highlights:
✅ Two new colors: Flame Gray and Metallic Black
✅ Sleeker design with blinkers now integrated into the tank’s side shrouds
✅ 7-step Monoshock + Telescopic Forks
✅ All-LED lighting setup
✅ Bluetooth-enabled LCD meter
“The front look is now cleaner and more aggressive, targeting the Gen-Z commuter who wants performance with personality,” said a Yamaha India spokesperson.
OBD-2B Engine Update with Trusted FZ Performance
Under the hood, the FZ-S Fi retains its tried-and-tested 149cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, now upgraded to meet OBD-2B emissions norms. There’s no change in output:
🔸 Max Power: 12.2 bhp
🔸 Peak Torque: 13.3 Nm
🔸 Gearbox: 5-speed
The OBD-2B update ensures better diagnostics and reduced emissions, aligning with the government’s push toward cleaner two-wheelers.
Strategic Move: Old FZ-S Fi Still On Sale
Yamaha’s decision to continue selling the old model alongside the new one is a rare move. This dual-strategy gives budget-conscious riders an affordable entry point, while tech-savvy bikers can opt for the 2025 version with updated features and better compliance.
Competition Heating Up in 150cc Segment
The 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi enters a fiercely competitive space and goes head-to-head with rivals like:
🏁 Bajaj Pulsar P150
🏁 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V
🏁 Honda Unicorn 160
Each of these contenders brings its own fan base, but Yamaha continues to stand out for its refinement, balance, and streetfighter styling.
Verdict: Premium Touch for Everyday Riders
If you’re looking for a daily commuter with muscle-bike aesthetics, clean emissions, and smartphone-ready features, the new FZ-S Fi ticks all the right boxes. With its updated design, improved regulatory compliance, and reliable powertrain, the 2025 edition aims to win hearts without breaking the bank.
