India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has announced the launch of the FZ Blue Flex, marking a significant step in its journey towards carbon neutrality and sustainable mobility. Aligned with India’s Viksit Bharat vision and the government’s push for alternative fuel technologies, the FZ Blue Flex introduces innovative flex-fuel capability to Yamaha’s popular FZ lineup. The Yamaha FZ Blue Flex is priced at Rs. 1,24,240 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Powered by Yamaha’s proven 149cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine, the FZ Blue Flex is engineered to run on ethanol-blended fuels ranging from E20 to E85. This flexibility supports India’s growing adoption of ethanol-based fuels, helping reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lowering environmental impact while maintaining Yamaha’s hallmark performance.
Commenting on the launch, Hajime Aota, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group, said: “Achieving a carbon-neutral future requires a dynamic, multi-pathway strategy rather than a single solution. Having already commenced our electric vehicle journey in India, the introduction of our innovative Blue Flex technology marks another strategic milestone. This move is a deliberate alignment of Yamaha’s global sustainability vision with the Indian government’s progressive biofuel policies. By embracing multiple technological avenues, we reinforce our commitment to global carbon neutrality goals while providing versatile, high-quality products tailored to the evolving needs of Indian consumers.”
Based on the popular FZ platform, the FZ Blue Flex features a bold full-LED projector headlamp with integrated position lamps, a sculpted fuel tank with aerodynamic styling cues, faux air vents, and a compact exhaust. A single-piece seat and sharp LED tail lamp further enhance comfort and its sporty, modern styling.
The motorcycle produces 8.6 kW of power and 12.8 Nm of peak torque, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. It is equipped with telescopic front suspension and a rear swingarm suspension for stable handling, along with ABS for enhanced braking performance and rider safety across varied road conditions.
The FZ Blue Flex will be available in Metallic Black and will be retailed through Yamaha’s select Blue Square dealerships in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu.
India’s supportive policy framework, which promotes ethanol blending, cleaner fuels and reduced emissions, has accelerated the transition towards sustainable mobility solutions. With the introduction of the FZ Blue Flex, Yamaha reinforces its commitment to these national priorities while advancing its global ambition of achieving carbon neutrality across its product lifecycle.
