Engine and Powerful Performance
The new Yamaha RX 100 is powered by a 225cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that meets BS6 emission norms. Unlike the original two-stroke RX 100, this modern version uses fuel injection for smoother performance and better fuel efficiency. Producing 20 PS of power at 8,000 rpm, the engine delivers quick acceleration, making it perfect for city rides and short highway trips. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth gear shifts, giving riders that thrilling “RX feel” while keeping fuel consumption low. Yamaha claims an impressive 90 kmpl, though real-world mileage may vary between 70-80 kmpl depending on riding conditions.
Bike Features
Yamaha has packed the 2025 RX 100 with features that balance retro charm with modern needs. The bike sports a classic round LED headlamp with daytime running lights (DRLs), a digital-analog instrument cluster, and LED tail lamps. It also includes Bluetooth connectivity for navigation and call alerts, a USB charging port, and a side-stand engine cut-off for safety. The retro-inspired design keeps the iconic curved fuel tank and chrome accents, appealing to both old fans and new riders. The lightweight frame, weighing around 120 kg, ensures easy handling in traffic.
Suspension and Brakes
The RX 100 2025 offers a comfortable and stable ride with telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear, tuned for Indian roads. For braking, it features a 260 mm front disc brake with single-channel ABS and a 130 mm rear drum brake. This setup provides confident stopping power, especially in busy city conditions. The bike’s low seat height of 790 mm makes it accessible for riders of all sizes.

On-road prices may reach ₹1.65 lakh in metro cities due to taxes and registration.
