Yamaha Motor India has rolled out the 2025 RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid lineup, strengthening its position in the highly competitive 125 cc scooter segment. The latest version blends aggressive styling with mild-hybrid performance tech, smart connectivity features, and fresh colour palettes to woo young and tech-conscious riders.
The starting price is set at ₹79,340 for the drum-brake variant, with the premium Street Rally trim coming in at ₹92,970 (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi). With these updates, Yamaha aims to deliver not just a scooter but a complete urban mobility package.
Prices & Variants: Competitive for Its Class
Yamaha’s pricing strategy keeps the RayZR within reach for a broad customer base:
- RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid (Drum): ₹79,340
- RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid (Disc): ₹86,430 – ₹87,430
- RayZR Street Rally 125 Fi Hybrid: ₹92,970
Beyond attractive pricing, Yamaha has sweetened the deal with up to ₹10,000 in discounts and a 10-year extended warranty.
Enhanced Power Assist: The Mild-Hybrid Edge
A key highlight of the 2025 lineup is Yamaha’s Enhanced Power Assist technology.
This system integrates a high-performance battery with the Smart Motor Generator (SMG) to provide stronger torque when needed-like quick take-offs, uphill climbs, or carrying heavy loads.
The benefits are twofold: better ride performance and improved efficiency. The scooter still retains the Silent Start and Stop & Start System.
Styling & New Colours: Urban and Youth-Oriented
Yamaha is targeting younger riders who value style as much as substance. The 2025 model year introduces new paint schemes:
- Base RayZR: Cyan Blue, Matte Red, Metallic Black, Racing Blue, Dark Matte Blue, and a brand-new Silver White Cocktail.
- Street Rally: Matte Grey Metallic, Ice Fluo Vermillion, Cyber Green, and Matte Black.
With sharp body lines, bold graphics, and contrasting wheel rim colours, the RayZR carries an unmistakably sporty presence (yamaha-motor-india.com).
Smart Connectivity: TFT & Y-Connect Integration
Yamaha has equipped all variants with a TFT instrument console connected via the Y-Connect smartphone app.
The system offers:
- Turn-by-turn navigation with intersection alerts
- Road name display in real time
- Vehicle diagnostics
- Last parked location
- Incoming call and message notifications
The Street Rally adds an Answer Back function activating lights and a horn beep to help riders spot their scooter in crowded parking lots (ndtv.com).
Engine & Performance: Proven, Now Greener
Mechanically, the RayZR retains its proven setup:
- 125 cc air-cooled, fuel-injected Blue Core hybrid engine
- Output: 8.04 bhp, 10.3 Nm torque
- Transmission: CVT automatic
- Fuel Compatibility: E20 (20% ethanol blend)
E20 readiness ensures compliance with upcoming Government of India fuel standards under Bharat Stage VI norms. Details on ethanol blending regulations can be found on the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas website.
Ride, Safety & Practicality
The RayZR keeps rider comfort and utility in focus:
- Weight: 99 kg, making it one of the lightest in the 125 cc segment
- Suspension: Telescopic front fork; monoshock rear for Street Rally
- Brakes: Front disc, rear drum; side-stand engine cut-off standard
- Lighting: LED DRLs on Street Rally
- Storage: 21-litre under-seat space
Fuel Efficiency & Real-World Numbers
According to Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) testing, the RayZR delivers up to 71.33 kmpl, giving it strong economy credentials for a 125 cc scooter (bikedekho.com).
Market Outlook
Sales data shows Yamaha sold 14,274 units in June 2025, up from 13,023 units in May, suggesting healthy demand in a crowded market.
How It Stacks Up Against Rivals
In the 125 cc scooter segment, the RayZR’s main rivals include:
- Honda Activa 125 – known for refinement but less sporty in styling.
- TVS Jupiter 125 – strong on comfort and storage but lacks hybrid assist.
- Suzuki Access 125 – smooth performance but more conventional in looks.
Where the RayZR scores is light weight, hybrid torque boost, and smart connectivity features not all rivals offer at similar price points.
The Bigger Picture: Yamaha’s Hybrid Direction
The RayZR isn’t Yamaha’s only experiment with hybrid tech. The brand also launched the FZ S Hybrid motorcycle earlier this year, using the same SMG-assisted mild-hybrid system.
This shows Yamaha’s intent to gradually electrify its two-wheeler portfolio without sacrificing performance or affordability (en.wikipedia.org).
Final Thought
The 2025 Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid is a compelling choice for riders seeking a stylish, fuel-efficient, tech-loaded scooter with a dash of performance flair. With its competitive pricing, E20 compliance, and connectivity features, it is well-positioned to appeal to both first-time buyers and experienced riders upgrading from 110 cc scooters.
