Overview
- The FZ Blue Flex, which launched on Friday, July 10, 2026, is priced at about Rs 1.24 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi and is Yamaha's first motorcycle engineered to accept ethanol blends from E20 up to E85.
- The bike uses the FZ's 149cc air-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine with revised tuning and is rated at 11.7 hp and 12.8 Nm, a small drop in peak output caused by ethanol's lower energy density.
- Yamaha kept the FZ's 5-speed gearbox, telescopic front fork, rear monoshock and single-channel ABS but added packaging changes that raise kerb weight to 139 kg and lower ground clearance to 135 mm.
- Early sales are limited to Yamaha's Blue Square premium dealerships in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu and the bike is offered in a single Metallic Black colour.
- The launch joins a growing flex-fuel push by makers such as Suzuki and Hero and could affect running costs and buyer choices as fuel availability, real-world efficiency between E20 and E85, and infrastructure evolve.
