Yamaha Fz S V 3.0

`The FZ is the model that revived Yamahas fortunes in India, and since its launch it has been the gold standard for the 150cc sporty commuter, as far as sales figures are concerned. It offered a number of new technologies like radial tyres and a fuel tank that was centralised, at the time of its launch. It is also one of the pioneers of fuel injection, having made the entire FZ range FI at a time when the competition was still depending heavily on carburetted variants.

The next generation of the FZ-S is here, and it is not a major update. Single channel ABS has been added, which is compulsory from April 2019 onward; an LED headlamp, and the instrument cluster has white backlighting. The fuel injection has been tweaked to offer better midrange but the peak power output remains the same at 13bhp and 12.8Nm.
