Yamaha Crux (2010)

Wednesday, 30 November 2016 06:25 PM The Yamaha Crux, a popular commuter bike in India, was discontinued in November 2016. This decision was part of Yamahas strategy to focus on more profitable and technologically advanced models. The Crux had been a staple in the Indian market for its reliability and fuel efficiency. I think this move was necessary for Yamaha to stay competitive in the evolving market.

Tuesday, 15 September 2015 01:41 AM In 2015, Yamaha introduced some minor updates to the Crux, including new color schemes and slight tweaks to the engine for better performance. These updates were aimed at keeping the bike relevant in a market flooded with newer models. The bike still retained its 106cc, 4-stroke engine and air-cooled single cylinder SOHC configuration. I believe these updates helped in maintaining customer interest for a bit longer.

Friday, 20 June 2014 02:21 AM The Yamaha Crux was known for its impressive mileage, with an ARAI-certified 85 kmpl. This made it a favorite among commuters who prioritized fuel efficiency. The bikes 11-liter fuel tank and 2-liter reserve further enhanced its appeal for long rides. I think the fuel efficiency was one of the key selling points of this bike.

Sunday, 10 March 2013 01:40 AM In 2013, there were rumors that Yamaha might resurrect the Crux with a more powerful engine, possibly similar to the R15, but these plans never materialized. The existing model continued with its 7.6 bhp @ 7500 rpm and 7.5 Nm @ 6000 rpm engine. Im a bit disappointed that this never happened, as it could have given the bike a new lease on life.

Wednesday, 25 January 2012 05:55 AM The Yamaha Crux featured a simple yet effective design, with an analogue speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge. The bike had a kick-start mechanism and a 4-speed gearbox, making it easy to handle for daily commuting. I think the simplicity of the design was part of its charm.

Saturday, 15 October 2011 06:38 PM In 2011, Yamaha highlighted the Cruxs reliability and durability in their marketing campaigns. The bikes air-cooled single cylinder SOHC engine and double cradle frame were praised for their robustness. This campaign helped in boosting sales among those looking for a dependable commuter bike. I believe this was a smart move by Yamaha to emphasize the bikes strengths.

Tuesday, 20 July 2010 07:48 AM The Yamaha Crux had a top speed of 94 kmph and came with drum brakes on both the front and rear. The bikes suspension included a telescopic front fork and a swingarm rear suspension, providing a comfortable ride. I think the braking system could have been improved, but it was adequate for its time.

Saturday, 15 May 2010 08:36 AM When the 2010 model of the Yamaha Crux was launched, it was priced competitively at around Rs. 43,986 (ex-showroom). This pricing made it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers in the Indian market. I believe the pricing was one of the key factors in its initial success.

Saturday, 10 April 2010 01:27 PM The Yamaha Crux (2010) had a fuel capacity of 11 liters with a 2-liter reserve, making it suitable for long commutes. The bikes kerb weight was 113 kg, and it had a ground clearance of 160 mm, which was decent for Indian road conditions. I think these specifications made it a practical choice for many riders.

Monday, 15 March 2010 06:29 AM At its launch in 2010, the Yamaha Crux was praised for its mileage and affordability. The bikes 106cc engine and 4-speed gearbox were designed to provide optimal performance and fuel efficiency. I think this combination made it a great option for first-time bike buyers.
