Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Street Rally Review
Overview
Yamaha has refreshed its 125cc lineup with the new Ray ZR 125 Street Rally, introduced in August 2025. Aimed at city riders who want a sporty-looking, easy-to-ride scooter, this version blends the Ray ZR’s proven practicality with rugged, rally-inspired styling and smart hybrid tech to boost efficiency and response.
Engine and Performance
Powering the Street Rally is Yamaha’s air-cooled, 125cc Blue Core fuel-injected motor paired with a hybrid assist system. The setup delivers 8.2PS at 6,500rpm and 10.3Nm at 5,000rpm. The Smart Motor Generator (SMG) provides electric assist for cleaner, quieter take-offs, while the Stop & Start System shuts the engine at idle to save fuel and restarts instantly when the throttle is opened. With a kerb weight of just 99kg, the scooter feels lively off the line and is well suited to darting through traffic. Real-world economy is a core strength—Yamaha claims up to 71.33km/l under test conditions—helped by the hybrid assist and FI mapping. A smooth V-belt automatic transmission keeps the ride fuss-free in dense city conditions.
Design and Styling
The Street Rally’s character is all about attitude. It wears a muscular front apron with a distinct Y-shaped LED DRL and an LED headlamp, plus a small visor for a sportier profile. Knuckle guards, block-pattern tyres, contrasting graphics, and rim tapes reinforce the “rally” persona. Its compact footprint—1,880mm long, 750mm wide, 1,190mm tall—combined with 145mm ground clearance and a 1,280mm wheelbase gives it a confident, planted stance without feeling bulky.
Comfort and Everyday Usability
Yamaha has tuned the ergonomics for daily comfort. The well-cushioned seat and breathable (mesh-style) cover help on longer commutes, while the accessible seat height accommodates a broad range of riders. There’s 21L of under-seat storage for a helmet or daily carry items, and the 5.2L fuel tank reduces fill-up frequency. Small conveniences add up: a multifunction key slot with shutter lock, pass switch, side-stand engine cut-off, and clear instrumentation with speed, fuel, odo/trip info and a clock make it hassle-free to live with.
Ride, Handling and Safety
A telescopic fork up front and a rear coil spring handle the rough stuff typical of city roads, keeping the ride stable and predictable. Tubeless tyres (90/90-12 front, 110/90-10 rear) add grip and resilience against punctures. Yamaha’s Unified Braking System (UBS) links braking effort to help keep the scooter composed and shorten stopping distances, especially useful for newer riders. Full LED lighting improves visibility day and night, and the side-stand cut-off prevents unintended starts.
Technology and Features
- Smart Motor Generator (SMG) assist for smoother, quicker launches
- Automatic Stop & Start to reduce fuel use and emissions in traffic
- LED headlamp, DRL and indicators for modern looks and better visibility
- Y-Connect smartphone pairing for alerts, ride data and basic navigation prompts
- 21L under-seat storage for practicality
- UBS linked brakes and side-stand engine inhibitor for safety
Price and Positioning
Positioned against popular 125cc rivals, the 2025 Ray ZR 125 Street Rally is priced competitively (typically in the ₹79,000–₹93,000 ex-showroom band, depending on city and variant). It targets riders who want more visual drama than the average commuter scooter, without sacrificing light weight, efficiency, or reliability. In this space, it lines up against the Honda Activa 125, TVS Ntorq, Suzuki Avenis, and Aprilia’s sporty 125s—but stands out with its hybrid-assist feel and rally-themed design cues.
Verdict
The latest Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Street Rally wraps city-friendly performance and superb mileage in a distinctive, adventure-leaning look. The hybrid assist and Stop & Start tech make tangible differences in traffic, the chassis is nimble, and the features list hits the sweet spot for everyday use. For riders who want a scooter that’s frugal, fun, and visually bold, the 2025 Street Rally is a compelling pick in the 125cc segment.

Discussions and Questions Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Street Rally
Can I purchase Yamaha RayZR 125 on finance?
Yes, you can purchase the Yamaha RayZR 125 on finance. The EMI for the Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid starts at around Rs. 3,025 per month for a tenure of 36 months at an interest rate of 9.7%, with a loan amount of Rs. 93,748 for the Drum variant. The down payment can range from Rs. 10,416 to Rs. 12,057 depending on the variant. You can use EMI calculators available on various websites to get detailed break-ups of the total payable amount and to find the best finance options for your purchase.
Which one is best in braking and stability, Yamaha Ray ZR 125 or TVS Ntorq?
As per your requirements, we would suggest you go with the TVS NTorq 125. Though there is not much difference between the two, the NTorq excels by a small margin. In the braking test, the NTorq 125 comes to a halt at 20.30m (60-0kmph) while the RayZR 125 takes 21.91m. The telescopic fork and mono shock have been set up to soak up bumps, potholes, and speed humps without getting flustered.
Does Yamaha Ray ZR street rally have Bluetooth connectivity?
It doesn't have Bluetooth, only the hybrid edition has
Is this scooter comfortable for long rides and what about the suspension?
While it romps ahead in outright acceleration, and despite the linear power delivery of the motor, you can breeze past slow-moving traffic with a simple twist of the throttle. In the city, with the engine stop-start system helping out when necessary, the Ray ZR managed to deliver class-leading fuel efficiency of 66kmpl. Less weight means less stress on the engine to get up to cruising speeds, and the linear power delivery aids. On the highway, it isn’t bad either, matching NTorq’s fuel efficiency figure. The slightly smaller fuel tank might force you to stop for fuel sooner but the 20-25km deficit in range will not be a deal-breaker. On the other hand, the suspension components are new with Yamaha now opting for a more plush setup. The ride isn’t jarring like it was on the older 110cc scooter. There is an initial bit of firmness from the front telescopic fork the ride improves as the speeds get higher. The mono-shock is very softly sprung. It does get a little willowy when you tackle large speed humps with gusto or if you have a rather large pillion on board. So, you do experience that bounciness but that settles down fairly quickly as well, helping you regain composure with ease. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you take a test drive
Are all models of Yamaha Ray ZR 125 hybrid?
Yes, all models of Yamaha RayZR 125 feature a hybrid engine.
