The legendary Yamaha RX100 is back with a fresh 125cc engine and a stunning retro design. Known for its unbeatable performance and classic charm, the new RX100 blends modern technology with the iconic style loved by generations. Yamaha aims to capture both nostalgia and new-age riders with this powerful comeback. With upgraded features and efficient mileage, it’s ready to rule the roads once again.

Yamaha RX100 Returns with Modern Tech and Retro Charm

Yamaha has officially relaunched its legendary RX100 in India, and this time it’s not just a comeback—it’s a complete transformation. A bike that once ruled the roads in the 80s and 90s is now making headlines again, combining nostalgia with cutting-edge technology. With a brand-new 125cc engine, improved fuel efficiency, and a stunning retro-inspired look, the RX100 is set to win the hearts of new-age riders and loyal fans alike.

RX100 Comeback: A Dream Turned Reality

First launched in 1985, the original RX100 quickly became a youth icon thanks to its two-stroke engine, lightweight frame, and thrilling performance. However, it had to be discontinued when stricter emission norms were introduced. Now, after nearly 25 years, Yamaha has brought back this legendary machine—but with a cleaner, more efficient 125cc 4-stroke engine and modern upgrades that meet today’s riding needs.

Design: Vintage Soul with a Contemporary Twist

The new RX100 retains the essence of the original but gets a fresh design update. The classic teardrop fuel tank now features a glossy paint finish, and the signature round LED headlight evokes a sense of nostalgia while offering modern illumination. It comes with a flat bench seat that ensures comfort, while base models feature spoke wheels and premium versions sport alloy wheels. A twin-pod analog instrument cluster is included, with some digital touches for enhanced functionality.

Engine & Performance: A New Heart for a Classic

Gone is the old two-stroke engine. In its place is a refined, BS6-compliant 125cc four-stroke engine that is both powerful and fuel-efficient. It produces around 11–12 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. A 5-speed gearbox delivers smooth power distribution, with a top speed of 110 km/h. The bike accelerates from 0 to 60 km/h in about 7 seconds, making it ideal for daily city commutes.

Fuel Efficiency: Delivers Up to 70 km/l

One of the biggest highlights of the new RX100 is its excellent mileage. Yamaha claims it can deliver between 60–70 km/l depending on the riding conditions. With a 10–12 liter fuel tank, the bike can cover up to 700 km on a full tank—perfect for long rides or daily office commutes.

Riding Condition	Expected Mileage
City Riding	65–68 km/l
Highway Cruising	68–70 km/l
Mixed Usage	65–70 km/l

Features: Modern Tech with Classic Vibes

Despite its classic look, the RX100 is packed with modern features across three variants:

Feature	Base Variant	Mid Variant	Premium Variant
Brakes	Drum	Front Disc + Rear Drum	Dual Disc + ABS
Lighting	Halogen	LED Indicators	Full LED Setup
Wheels	Spoke	Spoke	Alloy

These enhancements make the ride more comfortable, safe, and enjoyable, especially on Indian roads.
