Yamaha recently unveiled a captivating new ride. On a bright morning in Chennai, they introduced the 2025 Yamaha 125 – a stylish Bike grabbing attention with its updated design, intelligent features, and energetic performance. With a starting price of ₹74,000 (ex-showroom), it directly targets young riders seeking style and ease. Let’s delve into the details.
A Look That’s Pure Attitude
The Ray ZR has long been Yamaha’s popular choice, and this 2025 update enhances its appeal. Envision a streamlined, dynamic profile featuring more defined lines on the front and a modern LED headlight. The side panels showcase sharp contours, creating an impression of speed even when stationary. Yamaha introduced fresh color options such as Cyber Green and Racing Blue, adding a street-ready vibe without excess.
Tech That Keeps You Connected
Forget the days of straining to read analog displays. The 2025 Ray ZR comes equipped with a digital instrument cluster offering Bluetooth connectivity. Seamlessly sync your smartphone to receive call notifications, navigation directions, and even fuel consumption data. Yamaha’s “Smart Y-Connect” app transforms user interaction.
Additionally, the stop-start system conserves fuel during idle periods at traffic signals without requiring manual intervention. For braking, it incorporates a front disc and rear drum with UBS (unified braking system) for enhanced safety. While not overloaded with tech, these features deliver a smoother and safer experience. Imagine navigating to work and receiving a low-fuel alert before running out – practical enhancements that feel premium for the price.
Power Packed for the Daily Grind
Beneath the surface, the reliable 125cc fuel-injected engine has been optimized for 2025 with hybrid assistance. Expect 8.2 bhp and responsive torque at lower speeds. With a top speed of approximately 90 kmph, it’s suitable for both highways and short trips. Expect roughly 58 kmpl in typical driving scenarios thanks to the E20 compliance.
Why It Makes Sense at ₹74k
The base model starts at launch, reaching ₹85,000 for the premium trim with alloy wheels and additional features. It competes with the Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter, but Yamaha distinguishes itself with a sportier style. Built to withstand the Indian conditions, it has a rust-resistant frame, a comfortable two-person seat, and storage for a helmet and laptop underneath the seat.
