2023 Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid Launched in India: Top Highlights

The 2023 Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid is an all-new scooter from Yamaha that combines the convenience of a petrol scooter with the efficiency of a hybrid powertrain. Along with the Fascino 125, the bike manufacturer has finally launched the updated Ray ZR in India. To comply with the updated emission norms, both scooters have undergone mechanical updates. Additionally, the company has made a few minor cosmetic changes to the bikes. It is important to note that Yamaha's entire 125cc scooter lineup is now E20 fuel- and OBD II-compliant. As we all know, OBD-II compliance will be implemented soon, and according to Yamaha, it wants to ensure that its products are ready for the upcoming change in emission standards. In fact, it was one of the first two-wheeler manufacturers in India to implement E20 compatibility and OBD-II compliance across its entire product line. Here are the top highlights of the newly updated Yamaha Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid.

Price

The Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid is available from Yamaha in two variants: Standard and Rally. Here is the complete price list for all trims.

Exterior Styling

The updated Ray ZR 125 features a youthful design language, just like the 2022 edition. The LED lighting, sporty styling, front-facing small windscreen, and handle guards have all been carried over. The bikemaker has provided new colour options for the Ray ZR in addition to the mechanical changes. It is now offered in Light Grey Vermillion and Matte Black shades as well. Further, the Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid's disc and drum versions now have new graphics in their original Matte Red, Metallic Black, and Cyan Blue hues.
