Yamaha Will Soon Launch The Updated 2022 FZ, FZ-S and FZ-S Deluxe In India

The Yamaha FZ range of motorcycles was first introduced in India back in 2008 and the motorcycle can be credited with revolutionising the 150cc motorcycle segment in India.

The Yamaha FZ16 motorcycle became an immediate hit in India with its muscular and aggressive stance. Over the years, the Yamaha FZ16 also gained a reputation to be one of the most reliable motorcycles.

The initial models featured a 153cc carburetted 2-valve SOHC engine and this unit produced 13.8bhp and 13.6Nm of torque. However, in 2014, Yamaha updated the Yamaha FZ range with an all-new 149cc engine.

Unlike the previous engine, this new unit was equipped with fuel injection for better fuel efficiency and throttle response. Despite using fuel injection, the peak power and torque output of the new model went down.

Moreover, the Japanese manufacturer has rolled out numerous updates to keep the FZ range up to date.

For 2022, the new Yamaha FZ range is expected to come with new colour options. According to sources, the base model will be in two paint schemes - Deep Purplish Blue Metallic Y and Black Metallic X and the more popular Yamaha FZ-S will be offered with Matte Dull Red Metallic 4 and Matte Dark Purplish Blue Metallic 1.

On the other hand, the top-spec FZ-S Deluxe version comes with three different colour schemes namely Black Metallic X, Deep Red Metallic X and Pastel Dark Grey.

Apart from that, the updated Yamaha FZ-S and FZ-S Deluxe will be equipped with LED tail lamps. However, the FZ-S Deluxe model gets a few more upgrades such as coloured alloy wheels, dual-tone seats, and LED turn indicators.

Higher-spec models of the 2022 Yamaha FZ range will also come with Yamaha's latest Bluetooth-enabled instrument console. It includes features such as answer back, e-lock, locate my bike and many more.

Mechanically, the Yamaha FZ range remains identical to the previous models with its 149cc 2-valve SOHC engine producing 12.2bhp and 13.6Nm of torque. Apart from that, the new Yamaha FZ range gets dual-channel ABS for added safety.
