Yamaha has reignited nostalgia by reintroducing the legendary Yamaha RX 100 to the Indian market. This new-age revival brings together the iconic design of the original with modern technology and performance enhancements. With its vintage appeal, fuel efficiency, and affordability, the all-new RX 100 is poised to take on strong rivals like Hero and Honda in the commuter segment.
Classic Design with a Modern Touch
The new Yamaha RX 100 retains its vintage identity with a round headlamp, chrome-finished mirrors, and classic RX100 branding on the fuel tank. Adding to its appeal are semi-digital instrument console, retro-styled mudguards and indicators, and a well-cushioned seat that enhances comfort. While staying true to its old-school roots, the design smartly incorporates modern elements, making it an attractive choice for both seasoned riders and younger enthusiasts.
Smooth Performance with a Refined Engine
Under the hood, the RX 100 is powered by a BS6-compliant 110cc engine that churns out 11 bhp of power and 10 Nm of torque. This peppy engine is paired with a 4-speed gearbox, making it ideal for city commutes as well as occasional highway rides. Yamaha has refined the engine to ensure a vibration-free, smooth ride — perfect for long journeys and daily travel alike.
Excellent Mileage and Decent Speed
One of the RX 100’s biggest highlights is its claimed mileage of 77 kmpl, which puts it ahead in the fuel efficiency race. Combined with a top speed of 100 km/h, it offers a balanced mix of economy and performance. Its lightweight body adds to its agility, making it easy to handle in congested traffic and urban roads.
Loaded with Practical Features and Safety
The new RX 100 doesn’t compromise on utility and safety. It comes with small under-seat storage, side stand engine cut-off, tubeless tyres, and a double rear suspension setup for extra ride comfort. In terms of safety, it is equipped with front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, and CBS (Combined Braking System) as standard — offering reliable stopping power across varying road conditions.
Pricing and Booking Details
The Yamaha RX 100 is priced at approximately ₹1,20,000 (on-road), making it a solid value-for-money proposition. Yamaha also offers EMI options, increasing affordability for buyers across segments. Interested customers can book the bike online via Yamaha Motor India’s official website or visit their nearest authorized dealership for more information.
A Legacy Reborn
The re-launch of the Yamaha RX 100 is more than just a product update — it’s a cultural revival. It evokes fond memories for veteran riders while offering new-generation motorcyclists a unique blend of retro charm and modern practicality. With its iconic look and fuel-conscious performance, the RX 100 is back to rule the roads once again.
