Yamaha Motor India has kickstarted the year 2022 with the launch of its updated FZ-S series. The new 2022 Yamaha FZ-S FI has been launched in India. Moreover, the motorcycle is now also available in a new range-topping Deluxe variant. The 2022 Yamaha FZ-S Deluxe gets new color schemes, new graphics on the body panels, LED turn indicators, and more. 

Some of the cosmetic changes in the FZ-S that enhance the appeal of the motorcycle are that the motorcycle now gets an LED tail lamp and its standard variant is offered in two color shades, namely Matte Red and Dark Matte Blue. The new Deluxe variant, on the other hand, gets an LED tail lamp, LED turn indicators, new body graphics, and coloured wheels. Both the variants of the FZ-S are also offered with Bluetooth connectivity as standard.  

The new Yamaha FZ-S FI Deluxe is offered in three color schemes. They are Metallic Black, Majesty Red, and Metallic Grey. The former two-color shades also get a new dual-tone brown and black coloured seat. The mechanicals of the motorcycle remain unchanged. Powering the new Yamaha FZ-S is the same old BS6 compliant 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. 

This motor churns out 12.2 hp of maximum power at 7,250 RPM and 13.6 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 RPM. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. For suspension duties, the motorcycle gets telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock absorber at the rear. The braking duties are performed by disc brakes at either end and it gets a single-channel ABS too. 

Features:

1. The Negative LCD instrument cluster panel has a black background and white lettering. Digital speedometer, bar-style tachometer above, and a fuel gauge are constantly displayed, along with ABS warning lamp while the odometer, Trip 1, Trip 2, F Trip, clock and others can be selected for display. There is also an ECO indicator to enable more fuel-efficient riding.
2. The lower engine fairing has been introduced to reduce mud and dirt splatter. The under cowl has been designed to enhance the sporty look of the bike.
3. Easier to control while enhancing the economy at the same time. Makes the power-to-weight ratio just enough to keep you zipping.

Design:

1. The two-level seat has an excellent feeling of fit and cushioning that works well with an upright, relaxed riding position. The cushioning material has a suitable degree of firmness and is paired with a seat material that offers superb fit to provide a steady ride and comfort for both the rider and pillion rider.
2. Signal your unique identity with unmissable front and back LED flashers – a perfect mash-up of style and safety. Leave a bold trail for others to follow with the all-new, high visibility LED tail light.
3. New coloured wheels add a flamboyant dash of style to your street presence. Grab attention wherever you go!
4. The glossy chrome plating in selected parts creates a premium, exclusive image and enhances the street presence of the motorcycle. The 3D emblem enhances the premium look of the bike.
5. The LED headlight provides excellent visibility over a wide range with very little unevenness. It uses a reflector with ideal light projection, and separate bulbs for high and low beams.
6. A midship muffler, with its advantages of mass concentration, weight reduction and shorter length, is adopted. The design of the muffler protector is such that it further enhances the sharpness. The Muffler sound is bold.

Yamaha is all set to launch an all-new 2022 Yamaha MT 15 in India. Yamaha’s motorcycle, the MT-15, will be getting a 2022 updated model soon. 

Similar to the R15 V4, the 2022 MT 15 could also feature a USD suspension setup, offering better control at high speeds, cornering and braking, consequently improving the riding dynamics of the bike. The rear will feature the same linked-type monocross suspension setup.

One of the primary updates on the MT 15 could be the replacement of the negative digital LCD cluster with the R15 V4’s multi-functional fully-digital instrument cluster. Featuring Bluetooth connectivity, it displays information such as gear position, ride modes, average speed, fuel efficiency and more. It also displays call and notification updates and phone battery level

The Yamaha MT 15 is a Pure-bred hyper naked, one of the most dynamic lightweights from the Yamaha MT stable. This bike has all the traits of a hyper naked with its agile handling, wide handlebar, and ultra-lightweight of 138 kgs. The impeccably styled MT-15 with its Bifunctional LED headlight gives the motorcycle an aggressive and intimidating look. This hyper-naked bike will not only give you the thrill you seek but will also inspire immense confidence in the rider.

Features:

1. Bi Functional LED Headlights: Hi and low beam has been integrated into one single impact unit which makes it technically advanced and a first in its category. MT 15’s uniqueness comprises the stylish, compact headlight to realize the MT design.
2. Multi-Function Negative LCD Instrument Cluster: While Others on the road admire the looks and styling of your MT 15, you can admire the looks and take advantage of all the information that it has to offer to help you ride better. A Well-informed rider is a better rider.
3. Delta Box Frame: The new Yamaha MT 15 adopts a new delta box frame with superb rigidity balance. With a Delta Box frame, the top and bottom of the head pipe and the pivot points form a triangle, hence the “Delta Box” gives it excellent rigidity balance.
4. Aluminum Swing Arm: It is a single- or double-sided mechanical device which attaches the rear wheel of a motorcycle to its body, allowing it to pivot vertically.

The 2022 Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 could be mechanically identical to the outgoing model, with the same VVA-equipped 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor producing 18.5PS and 13.9Nm. That said, having the R15 V4’s performance (18.4PS and 14.2Nm) should make the bike a tad more engaging.

Powering the bike will be the same 155cc liquid-cooled, SOHC engine as before, producing 18.5PS and 13.9Nm, mated to a six-speed transmission. In addition to the VVA (Variable valve actuation) and assist and slipper clutch, we can expect the MT-15 to feature a quick shifter too, just like its sibling. In terms of styling, the 2022 Yamaha MT 15 can get new color schemes. It is expected to be launched later this year.
