Engine and performance

Power comes from a 149cc single producing 11.53 bhp and 12.8 Nm, paired with a 5 Speed. At 136 kg the power-to-weight figure is 85 bhp per tonne, which ranks 70 of 73 in its class here.

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Dimensions in practice

The FZ Blue Flex weighs 136 kg with fluids, has an 790 mm seat, 135 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1330 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.

The fuel tank holds 12 litres, good for about 594 km between fills in real-world riding.

Tyres are 100/80-17 front and 140/60R-17 rear, tubeless.

Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Safety and braking

  • Single-channel ABS

    ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.

  • Front disc brake

    Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.

  • Rear disc brake

    Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

Lighting

  • LED headlamp

    Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.

  • Projector headlamp

    Sharper cut-off and a longer throw than a reflector unit.

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Digital console

    Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.

Convenience

  • Engine kill switch

    Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.

Equipment against FZ-Rave, FZ V3 and FZS V4

Against FZ-Rave, FZ V3 or FZS V4, it gets projector headlamp and led tail lamp that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: hazard lamps and rear monoshock, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

Only the FZ Blue Flex has

  • Projector headlamp
  • LED tail lamp

Rivals have, it lacks

  • Hazard lamps
  • Rear monoshock

Colours

  • Metallic Black
