Next-Gen Yamaha FZ-S FI has been spotted testing in India. The new FZ-S might launch in 2019 with BS-VI engines. It will get full LED headlamps and digital instrument cluster.
Yamaha FZ is one of the first naked 150cc bikes in India. Yamaha bikes are known for great performance, and so is the FZ. As per Government’s rules, every two-wheeler above 125cc must have ABS as standard fitment. So, after a recent facelift to the FZ-S, we have spy pictures of the next-gen Yamaha FZ-S FI, which were spotted testing on roads. The test mules were heavily camouflaged, but we can see a lot of revisions over the bike. You can read more about the FZ-S FI here.
The next-gen Yamaha FZ-S FI follows the typical FZ series silhouette. The beefier tank and the sharp muscle creases indicate that it could borrow some styling cues from the FZ25. The more premium FZ25 sports a sharp design with much more sportier looks than the current FZ.

Based on the test mules, we say that the next-gen Yamaha FZ-S FI will reportedly get full LED lamps, a digital instrument cluster and LED tail lights. It will introduce a single-channel ABS setup paired up with front and rear disc brakes. Reports say that it might sport clip-on handlebars in the next-gen.
Revisions to the bodywork include a beefier fuel tank, rear tyre hugger, a bigger heat shield on the exhaust and a single seat. The next-gen Yamaha FZ-S FI continues with the conventional telescopic forks and the same set of alloy wheels, diamond frame chassis, turn indicators and fully digital instrument cluster.

The engines on the next-gen FZ-S will continue to be the same set. It will run on the same 149cc air-cooled SOHC engine tuned to meet BS-VI. The engine puts out 13 BHP and 12.8 Nm of peak torque. The engine pairs up with a 5-speed gearbox with a wet multi-plate clutch. For better fuel efficiency and performance, the bike uses a Fuel Injection system.
As of now, the Yamaha FZ-S FI is one of the popular bikes in its segment and is also the best selling Yamaha product. The naked bike competes with the likes of Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Hornet 160R, Bajaj Pulsar NS160, and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Amongst its rivals, only Gixxer and Hornet get optional ABS setup.
