Yamaha has announced a range of updates to its scooter offering in India. Amongst these, the 2023 Fascino S 125 Fi Hybrid (Disc) is now available at a starting price of INR 91,030. This trendy scooter is now available in a dark matt blue colour.
Coming to the new powertrain unit, Yamaha now offers a reworked version of the existing 125cc mill. This motor is now both E20 and OBD2 complaint. But adding these new features has not changed the power output of the motor. This 125cc engine churns out 8.2 PS @ 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 10.3 Nm @ 5,000 rpm. In fact, while delivering the same good performance as before, the engine is now more environment friendly than before. Yamaha also offers a smart motor generator with this engine. With this, the scooter now gets an automatic start / stop system. Further, with the engine running, the smart motor generator acts like a motor and delivers extra thrust to the engine.
Apart from the new engine and the colour option, Yamaha has equipped the My23 Fascino with Y-Connect App. Once paired with the scooter, the rider will be able to get smartphone alerts like calls, SMS/Email alerts and the phone’s battery on the instrument cluster.
The design of the Yamaha Fascino can be described as neo-retro. The Japanese bike maker is looking to entice customers in their 20s. The clientele in this age group is particular about Fashion, Performance, Form and Function. The chic styling of the scooter is likely to find resonance with such owners.
The scooter gets an LED headlamp cluster with a triangular design, LED DRLs, and LED taillights. The scooter features a sweptback tail, large ergonomically designed seats, a generous footboard and 21-litres of under-seat storage. Other Features on the scooter include tubeless tyres, alloy wheels, telescopic front fork, contoured seat, large under seat storage, healthy dose of chrome applique all around, full analogue speedometer cluster, luggage hook, larger foot board, pillion grab rail, etc.
