The Yamaha RX 100 is set to make a grand comeback in India. The news of its revival is creating a buzz among bike lovers, especially those who still remember the charm of the old RX 100. According to reports, the new model will come with modern features while retaining its legendary style. The launch is expected in late 2025 or early 2026.
Engine Performance of New RX 100
The upcoming RX 100 is likely to feature a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, 125cc or 150cc BS6 engine, replacing the iconic 2-stroke setup. Yamaha is expected to balance classic performance with modern refinement. The bike may offer air cooling and fuel injection to meet emission norms. The power output could range between 11-15 PS, aimed at providing a punchy city ride.
Mileage Expectations
Yamaha might tune the engine to offer a mileage of around 45 to 50 km/l. Though the old RX 100 was known for its power and pickup rather than fuel economy, the new version is likely to focus more on balanced efficiency to suit the needs of today’s commuter and young buyers.
Key Specifications and Features
While the design could remain retro, Yamaha is expected to add modern touches like LED headlamps, a digital-analogue instrument cluster, and telescopic front forks. Rear suspension may be twin-shock, keeping in tune with the original design. It may also come with alloy wheels, front disc brakes with ABS, and a lightweight chassis to maintain its nimble ride quality.
Price and Launch Offers
The expected price of the revived Yamaha RX 100 could fall in the range of ₹1.25 lakh to ₹1.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Official confirmation is still awaited. Yamaha may also offer introductory pricing or exchange bonuses at launch, especially to attract loyal RX fans.
