Yamaha FZS FI V4 The Yamaha FZS FI V4 is the latest iteration under the successful FZ-series from Yamaha where it offers a blend of sporty styling, fuel efficiency and everyday comfort. IN: Ayush Varma Feb 10, 2021Acrescento NA PARE KUMARThe updated FZS FI V4 offers a refreshing design, far more premiumness and even more technology under its belt to stay at the top of the 150cc commuter bike segment in India with an easy cruising experience throughout.
Bold and Aggressive Styling
The design looks a little sharper compared to the previous iterations of Yamaha FZS FI V4 as well. The LED headlamp unit is also slimmer and brighter to match the stylish LED DRLs for a bold road presence. The bike carries a muscular fuel tank with shrouds, blacked-out engine casing and sporty graphics which add premium touch to the bike.
The bike also sports a reshaped, single piece seat for more comfort without sacrificing style.
All New Digital Features for Today’s Rider
For storing trip theme information and more Yamaha uses a fully digital LCD instrument cluster that displays important details like speed, RPM, fuel level etc. Riders can also pair their smartphone and get call alerts, SMS notifications as well as maintenance updates on the display through Yamaha’s Y-Connect app using Bluetooth.
Roomy, Comfy, and a Daily Drivable Runner
Cons —The FZS FI V4’s biggest strength is rider comfort An upright riding position, among other things, helps reduce the strain during city commutes and a wider handlebar makes manageability easier in dense traffic conditions. This is how the suspension setup — telescopic forks at the front and a 7-step adjustable rear mono-shock — blends comfort with handling.
Variated with a 5-speed gearbox the bike is an absolute breeze, and even in city conditions see you through 45-50 km/l of mileage.
Safety and Braking System
The safety aspect is a major priority for Yamaha, and the FZ-X comes with single-channel ABS that works on a 282 mm front disc brake and a 220 mm rear disc to offer powerful yet controlled braking. While rain addled sections of the tarmac kept us on our toes, the grippy tubeless tyres ensure that stability is maintained even under such precipitation.
Lightweight and Easy Handling
At 136 kg, the FZS FI V4 is pretty light and was nimble enough to zip through traffic. The 790mm seat height also means that it is accessible to a wide range of riders while the 165 mm ground clearance will help to navigate speed breakers and uneven roads without any hassles.
Colors and Variants
The Yamaha FZS FI V4 is offered in vibrant colour options like—
- Metallic Grey
- Majesty Red
- Racing Blue
- Matte Black
Unique graphics are applied to each variant to signal its sporty intent.
Price and Availability
The Yamaha FZS FI V4 is currently on sale at ₹1.28 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) making it one of the most value-packed 150cc bikes in its segment. This rim size is now available across Yamaha dealerships in India.
Final Verdict
It is best suited for riders who need a bike with style, reliability, and mileage options for daily commutes as well, something more recreation-oriented rides over the weekend. With its department store mannequin looks, piano guts and Yamaha pedigree it is still one of the strongest celluloid dreams in its class.
