Yamaha Launches FZ Blue Flex in India: Flex-Fuel Motorcycle Supports E20 to E85 Ethanol Blends
Yamaha FZ Flex Fuel: Yamaha has launched its new FZ Blue Flex bike, which can run on both regular petrol and E85. Its ex-showroom price is ₹1.24 lakh.
Yamaha recently introduced the FZ Blue Flex, a flex-fuel variant of the FZ motorcycle that can operate on ethanol blends ranging from E20 to E85. With the introduction of the new product, Yamaha enters into the flex-fuel segment. Prior to this, Suzuki Kixxer SF 250 FFV and Hero Splendor and HF Deluxe had entered this category.
The FZ Blue Flex features an identical 149cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine available on all FZ models. It delivers 11.7 hp at 7,250 rpm and 12.8 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. These figures are 0.7 hp and 0.5 Nm less torque, respectively, when compared to the standard FZ.
FZ Blue Flex features an identical LED headlight that comes as a part of the FZ Rave that was introduced towards the end of last year. Moreover, FZ Blue Flex also gets an identical fuel tank, fake air vent, and single seat from the FZ Rave. The rest of the specifications remain the same.
