The Yamaha RX100 is not only a motorcycle but it has been a cultural icon that dominated Indian roads in the 80s and 90s. The roar of its unadulterated two stroke raunchiness, its precise handling and can-do everyman attitude earned it legendary status and cemented its place in the fond memories of every nineteen-eighties kid. Removed in 1996 with the introduction of stricter emission standards, the RX 100 has a following on its own. Yamaha is about to recombine this legend and bring its legendary style into the present time with some modern improvements to make funs old and new.
Traditional Designer With A Contemporary Touch
The new RX 100 carries the same design theme with a round headlamp and teardrop shaped fuel tank which makes a reference to its forerunners. The chrome details provide a flavor of the olden days, whereas LED lighting creates a modern style. The boxy shape and design with a sleek outline, together with the options of bold colors such as Racing Blue and Heritage Red resonate with more nostalgic people, too, yet newer riders who want a fashionable mount will surely like the new additions.
Engine Evolution
The 2025 RX 100 will obviously come with a new 110cc four-stroke engine to make it compatible with BS6 Phase 2 emission regulations as compared to the smoky 98cc two-stroke motor of the original version. This engine has a power output of about 8.5 PS and torque of 9.3 Nm which generates perfect city pickup. Blue Core technology promises an up to 70 kmpl mileage, which makes it economical to use in everyday commutes.
Performance Withategy With Muscle
The RX 100 has a short wheelbase and light chassis which should lead to great handling; perfect for traffic cutting or even cruising around the open roads. A 5-gear transmission improves the bike handling and the claimed responsive power delivery offers the fun feeling of the original. Performance and practicality see 0-60kmph in about 5 seconds respectively.
The contemporary design is suitable to the modern riders.
The new RX 100 is not leaving its soul out but it is all encompassing modern technology. A digital instrument cluster shows the speed, fuel levels etc, replacing the analogue units of the past. Safety: the cyclist is equipped with single-channel ABS and high-illumination LED indicators. Tubeless tires, a strong frame, and others increase reliability and confidence on the part of the rider.
Price And Positioning
Set to conduct a start in June 2025, the RX 100 could be had for the worth of 85 000 to 140 000 INR, contingent upon forms. It rivals the Bajaj Pulsar NS125 and the Hero Xtreme 160R, and promises a very different yet appealing mix of retro mysteries and technologically modern dependability. This makes it affordable through the financing options with interest rate in the range of 7-9% EMI.
