Launched;2k18 Yamaha FZ-S FI Gets Rear Disc Brakes & 3 Other Changes

2k18 Yamaha FZ-S



2018 FZS changes are minor but exclusive to the rear disc model. ABS is still not on offer though!
Yamaha has launched the 2018 FZS in India with rear disc brake as an optional higher variant in the range. Let us quickly talk about the changes…



2k18 FZS Changes

  • Better braking: As discussed it gets a 220 mm rear disc brake coupled with a 282 mm front rotor.
  • New Alloys: The FZS rear disc is offered with a new 10-spoke alloy wheel design. The regular FZS is available with 5-spoke alloys.
  • New RVMs: Yamaha has also made the rear view mirrors angular from the older oval design on the premium variant.
  • New Colour: The FZS rear disc is available only in new ‘Armada Blue’ colour which is limited to this variant (not on offer on the regular trim).
Rest of the motorcycle, remains absolutely same. It continues to be powered by the same 149 cc fuel injected SOHC engine capable of producing 13.2 PS of peak power at 8000 rpm and 12.8 Nm of maximum torque at 6000 rpm.

With this update, the FZS becomes the first motorcycle to get an optional rear disc brake. We believe the Fazer will also get updated with very similar changes (and the rear disc brake).


2k18 FZS Prices


FZS FI - Rs 83,042
