Yamaha Saluto Disc Brake Updates

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 05:09 PM The Yamaha Saluto Disc Brake has been discontinued in the Indian market since November 2019, but its legacy as a reliable commuter bike remains. It was known for its 125cc air-cooled engine, producing 8.3 PS of power and 10.1 Nm of torque. I think this bike was a great option for daily commuting due to its fuel efficiency and lightweight design.

Friday, 15 September 2023 01:56 PM Yamaha introduced the Unified Braking System (UBS) in the Saluto 125, which includes the disc brake variant. This system enhances braking performance by applying the front brake partially when the rear brake is used, improving stability and reducing braking distance. This feature was a significant safety upgrade for the bike.

Sunday, 20 August 2023 08:09 PM The Yamaha Saluto Disc Brake was priced at around Rs. 61,580, making it a competitive option in the commuter segment. It came with a 245mm front disc brake and drum brake at the rear, offering better braking performance compared to the drum-only variant. I believe the disc brake version was a better choice for those prioritizing safety.

Monday, 10 July 2023 09:30 PM The bike featured a stylish design with a chiselled fuel tank and dual-tone graphics, appealing to those looking for a visually appealing commuter bike. Its compact design and generous ground clearance of 180mm made it suitable for Indian roads.

Thursday, 15 June 2023 06:19 AM Powered by Yamahas Blue Core Engine, the Saluto 125 was known for its fuel efficiency, delivering up to 78 kmpl. This made it an economical choice for daily commuters. The engine was mated to a 4-speed gearbox, providing smooth and efficient performance.

Thursday, 25 May 2023 11:56 AM The Saluto Disc Brake came with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, which added to its reliability and safety. The telescopic fork at the front and swing arm suspension at the rear provided a comfortable ride, handling road imperfections well.

Wednesday, 14 September 2016 07:13 PM Yamaha launched a new Matt Green colour variant for the Saluto 125, including the disc brake model, in 2016. This vibrant colour scheme was part of Yamahas effort to keep the bike fresh and appealing to customers. I think this colour added a nice touch to the bikes overall look.

Thursday, 11 August 2016 01:22 AM The Saluto Disc Brake had a kerb weight of 112 kg, which was one of the lightest in its segment, making it easy to handle in city traffic. This lightweight design also contributed to its high fuel efficiency.

Wednesday, 20 July 2016 08:44 PM The bike featured an analogue speedometer and odometer, along with a pass light and pillion grabrail for added safety and convenience. It also had a low oil indicator, which was a practical feature for regular maintenance.

Wednesday, 15 June 2016 05:37 PM Yamahas decision to introduce the Saluto 125 with a disc brake option was seen as a move to enhance safety features in the commuter segment. This move was appreciated by customers who valued better braking performance.
