1. Hybrid Set-up

The biggest update for 2025 Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid is the introduction of a mild-hybrid system, similar to what we saw earlier on the FZ-S. This includes a Smart Motor Generator (SMG) that provides electric assist during acceleration, improving efficiency and offering a smoother ride. Yamaha has also integrated a silent start system and engine start/stop functionality to enhance fuel savings and refinement in city traffic.

2. Updated TFT Console- Turn-by-Turn Navigation, And More

The new FZ-X Hybrid features a 4.2-inch full-digital TFT display, a significant upgrade from the LCD screen on the standard version. It brings more data to the rider's fingertips in a visually crisp format and adds a more premium feel to the rider's surroundings. Thanks to Yamaha's Y-Connect app, the TFT console now offers smartphone connectivity with features like SMS and call alerts, real-time bike information, and even Google Maps-powered turn-by-turn navigation. This adds a layer of tech-savvy practicality, especially useful for urban riders.

3. Engine Details

Mechanically, the FZ-X Hybrid retains the same 149cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that makes 12.4PS at 7,250rpm and 13.3Nm at 5,500rpm. It's mated to a 5-speed gearbox and comes with features like a traction control system, side stand engine cut-off, all-LED lighting, and a USB charging port.

4. Paintjob: New & Exclusive

The FZ-X Hybrid gets an exclusive new paint scheme called Matte Titan, a matte light green shade that enhances the bike's neo-retro appeal, which interestingly, is also the only colour that you can have with the Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid. Meanwhile, the standard FZ-X continues to be available in Matte Blue and Metallic Black.
