Yamaha’s iconic RX 100 is all set to make a stunning comeback in 2025 with a design that pays homage to the original while blending modern elements. The bike features a sleek, curvy fuel tank with the vintage RX 100 badge, round halogen headlamp, and bulb-type taillights and indicators. It retains the analog speedometer and odometer that fans love, giving it a timeless, classic motorcycle appeal with a touch of today’s styling sensibilities.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 RX 100 is powered by a refined 98cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke gasoline engine featuring 7-port torque induction technology. This engine produces a peak power output of 11 PS at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 10.39 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The bike promises nimble handling and spirited performance with a top speed of around 110 km/h, combined with a fuel efficiency of about 35 to 40 kmpl, making it a practical yet thrilling ride for commuters.
Chassis and Ride Comfort
The RX 100 2025 comes with a commuter bike chassis featuring telescopic front forks and five-position adjustable swing arm suspension at the rear. It runs on 18-inch tube-type tires with drum brakes at both ends, providing a smooth and stable ride suited for urban and semi-urban roads. The ground clearance is 136 mm, saddle height is 765 mm, and the overall dimensions ensure comfortable maneuverability through city traffic.
Features and Convenience
Keeping things simple but functional, the 2025 model uses a manual 4-speed gearbox with chain drive and is kick-start only, preserving the essence of classic motorcycling. The bike holds a 10-liter fuel tank and comes with passenger footrests and an analog fuel gauge. While it lacks advanced features like ABS or digital connectivity, the Yamaha RX 100’s appeal lies in its pure, raw motorcycling experience and retro charm.
Anticipated Market Arrival
Though already stirring excitement among enthusiasts, the Yamaha RX 100 2025 is expected to officially launch by late 2026. With an anticipated price around ₹1 lakh, it promises to deliver a nostalgic yet practical motorcycling option for fans old and new, combining legendary looks with contemporary compliance and efficiency.
