2021 Yamaha RayZR Hybrid draws power from a 125cc single-pot motor, with mild-hybrid assistance, rated at 8.2 PS and 10.3 Nm
Yamaha has finally launched the 2021 RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid in India. Unveiled back in June this year, the scooter is available in three variants – standard rear drum brake, standard disc brake, and Street Rally. The rear drum variant is priced at Rs. 76,830, while the rear disc variant costs Rs. 79,830. The Street Rally model, which only gets a rear drum, is priced at Rs. 83,830.
Powering the 2021 Yamaha RayZR 125 Hybrid is a 125cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which develops a peak power of 8.2 PS and 10.3 Nm. It comes mated to a CVT, along with an SMG (Smart Motor Generator), which is essentially a mild-hybrid system with idle start/stop tech. It also quietens the start-up noise and provides power assist when accelerating or climbing uphill.
The kerb weight of the 2021 RayZR is reported at 99 kg for all variants, despite the Street Rally version getting a few additional bits, like knuckle guards, block pattern tyres, and a few changes to the front apron. The RayZR Street Rally is offered in two colour options – Sparkle Green and Matt Copper.
