On the outside, the new FZ-X takes a neo-retro approach to attract a younger set of enthusiasts. It sports a very lively exterior design and body panels. There is a tall front suspension setup with a high-placed rider seat. In addition, it also gets a range of colour options including Matt Copper, Metallic Blue, and Matte Black.

With the launch of the FZ-X, Yamaha now has yet another product in its popular FZ series of bikes. The new FZ-X gets the same engine as the FZ-FI motorcycle. At the heart of the bike sits a 149cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This unit has been rated to produce 12.2bhp of maximum power at 7,250rpm and 13.6Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm. It comes married to a five-speed gearbox.

Some of its key features include a fully digital instrument panel with Bluetooth connectivity, disc brakes, alloy wheels, a single step-up seat, LED lights, aluminum-finished brackets, a tall-set handlebar, a USB charger, and a boxy fuel tank.

Its new fully digital instrument console can be paired to a smartphone with Bluetooth connectivity. Once the bike is paired to the phone, the customer can use the Yamaha smartphone app to keep a tap on the vehicle's battery status and fuel consumption. Alongside, the console also displays call and SMS alerts. Yamaha has also added a mobile charger to the bike which is a standard fitment.
