Other design highlights include a single-piece seat and an LED tail lamp, while the motorcycle will be offered in a single Metallic Black colour option.
Features and hardware
The motorcycle rides on telescopic front forks and a rear swingarm suspension setup. Braking duties are supported by ABS, which is aimed at improving rider confidence and safety.
Mechanically, the overall package remains similar to the standard FZ, with the major update being its ability to run on a wider range of ethanol-blended fuels.
Availability
Yamaha will retail the FZ Blue Flex through select Blue Square dealerships across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu.
Speaking on the launch, Hajime Aota, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group, said the company believes achieving carbon neutrality will require multiple technologies rather than relying on a single solution. He added that the introduction of Blue Flex technology complements Yamaha's electric vehicle strategy while aligning with India's evolving biofuel policies and the brand's global sustainability goals.
