Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi unveiled

Apart from launching the Yamaha FZ-X, the company has also unveiled the new Fascino 125 Fi. While prices are yet to be announced, here are all the details about the scooter.

Apart from the Yamaha FZ-X, India Yamaha Motor also announced the new Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid. Available in both disc and drum brake versions, the new Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid continues to be powered by a BS-VI compliant, air-cooled, fuel-injected, 125cc blue core engine that produces 8.2bhp@6,500rpm and a maximum torque of 10.3Nm@5,000rpm. As standard, the new Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid gets a Smart Motor Generator System. The SMG functions as an electric motor to give a power assist when you accelerate from a stop, reducing the insecurity caused by the wobble during start-outs in tandem riding or during uphill climbs. About three seconds after starting, or when the throttle is cut back or the engine rpm exceeds the prescribed level, the Power Assist function is canceled. Also, an indicator light in the instrument cluster will inform the rider when the Power Assist (Hybrid System) is in operation. The SMG also serves as a motor by reversing the direction of electricity release, providing benefits that include a Quiet Engine Start System and Automatic Stop and Start System. Fascino 125 Fi also comes equipped with side stand engine cut-off switch which is a standard and mandatory feature for all Yamaha two-wheelers in India. The disc brake version of the Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid gets a LED headlight, daytime running lights (DRL) and LED taillight. It also comes with a digital instrument cluster with an indicator to show when the Hybrid System is in operation. The scooter features a 190mm front disc brake with UBS technology. There is Bluetooth Connectivity as well with Yamaha Motorcycle Connect X application. The application also allows the rider to access information like Answer Back, Locate my Vehicle, Riding History, Parking Record and Hazard.
