Yamaha FZ S Hybrid

The FZ S Hybrid comes in a single variant at ₹1,41,760 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every FZ S Hybrid leaves the showroom with the same equipment.

That makes it priced 30th lowest among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Gixxer SF (₹1,512 more) and the Pulsar 220F (₹2,074 less).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.61 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

FZ S Hybrid's claimed mileage is 60 kmpl. Owners and our own riding put the real figure between 49 and 55 kmpl, roughly 13% under the brochure number, which is typical once traffic, a pillion and short trips are factored in.

Among the 67 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 9th for mileage, 18 kmpl above the group average of 42 kmpl.

The 149cc air-cooled engine makes 12.2 bhp and 13.3 Nm through a 5 Speed. With a kerb weight of 136 kg that is 90 bhp per tonne, 64th best power-to-weight of the 73 bikes in this class we have reviewed.

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

Chassis hardware includes a rear monoshock, single-channel ABS and traction control, with a disc, 282 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 220 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.

At 790 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.

On safety kit the FZ S Hybrid has single-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.

Against FZ X Hybrid, FZS V4 or Pulsar NS 200, it gets colour tft console and idle start-stop that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: usb charging port, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 4 colours: ICE Strom, Matte Black, Racing Blue and Cyan Metallic Grey. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years or 30,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 3,000 km.

Yamaha runs a sizeable sales and service network in India, at roughly 2,500 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.

The FZ S Hybrid launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
