Yamaha SZ Updates

Thursday, 14 September 2023 04:57 AM

Yamaha has pulled the plug on its 150cc commuter, the SZ RR Version 2.0 in India. The production of the bike has been stopped but it still exists on the company’s website and will continue to be seen until the stocks last with the dealers. The motorcycle was already expected to be discontinued as the manufacturer had skipped updating it with ABS even after the 1 April deadline, post which the government mandated the safety feature in motorcycles over 125cc. After the SZ RR V 2.0 has been discontinued, Yamaha has four motorcycles in its 150cc line-up which includes the YZF R15 V3, MT-15, FZ V3 and FZ S V3.  

Friday, 15 March 2024 04:30 PM The Yamaha SZ RR V 2.0 has been discontinued in the Indian market. This bike was known for its fuel efficiency and moderate power, powered by a 149cc single-cylinder Blue Core engine producing 11.9bhp and 12.8Nm of torque. It had a five-speed constant mesh gearbox and was priced at Rs 67,803 (ex-showroom Delhi). I think this discontinuation might be a loss for those looking for a reliable commuter bike.

Wednesday, 03 January 2024 02:42 PM Yamaha is speculated to launch the new SZ-RR 125 in the Indian market by 2025. This bike is expected to feature a 125cc engine, producing around 10 bhp and 9.5 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox. It will also come with features like LED lighting, a fully digital meter console with Bluetooth connectivity and GPS, and two riding modes. I believe this could be a strong contender in the commuter segment.

Friday, 01 December 2023 12:20 PM Users of the Yamaha SZ-RR V 2.0 have consistently praised the bike for its durability and performance. One owner mentioned using the bike since 2014 with minimal maintenance and excellent performance. Another user highlighted the bikes refined engine and ease of navigating through traffic. I think these reviews underscore Yamahas reputation for building reliable vehicles.

Monday, 15 August 2022 01:11 PM The Yamaha SZ-RR V 2.0 received cosmetic upgrades, including new shrouds on the fuel tank, new paint schemes, and a new SZ logo on the handlebar holder. The bike also features new tubeless tires and an updated instrument cluster. These changes gave the motorcycle a fresh look without altering its core mechanics. I believe these updates helped keep the bike appealing to new buyers.

Tuesday, 10 May 2022 05:42 PM The Yamaha SZ-RR V 2.0 was noted for its improved fuel efficiency, thanks to the Blue Core technology. The bike was expected to offer 11% better fuel economy compared to its predecessor. With an ARAI mileage of 50 kmpl, it was a favorite among commuters looking for a fuel-efficient ride. I think this focus on fuel efficiency was a smart move by Yamaha.

Sunday, 20 February 2022 07:58 AM Yamaha positioned the SZ-RR V 2.0 in the 150cc commuter segment, competing against bikes like the Honda CB Unicorn, Hero Achiever, and Bajaj V15. The bikes pricing at Rs 67,803 (ex-showroom Delhi) made it a competitive option in this segment. I believe this strategic positioning helped Yamaha capture a significant market share.

Saturday, 15 January 2022 10:39 PM The Yamaha SZ-RR V 2.0 was powered by a 149cc single-cylinder Blue Core engine, producing 11.9bhp of power and 12.8Nm of torque. The engine was mated to a five-speed constant mesh gearbox but did not feature fuel injection. Despite this, the bike was known for its smooth performance and reliability. I think the engines refinement was a key selling point.

Sunday, 10 October 2021 02:00 PM The Yamaha SZ-RR V 2.0 came equipped with safety features such as a single-channel ABS and a side stand engine cut-off switch. These features enhanced the bikes safety profile, making it a more appealing option for daily commuters. I believe these safety additions were a positive step by Yamaha.

Friday, 20 August 2021 07:51 AM Yamaha unveiled the SZ-RR V 2.0 at the closing ceremony of their Mission 10,000 km event in Chennai. The launch highlighted the bikes new features and improvements, attracting attention from potential buyers looking for a reliable and fuel-efficient motorcycle. I think the event was a successful way to introduce the updated model.

The bike also had a new instrument cluster and tubeless tires, giving it a fresh and modern look. I believe these design changes helped the bike stand out in its segment.
