This means there are 7 distinct versions of the Yamaha FZ series currently on sale in India according to their official website. The most accurate and up-to-date information on what’s currently on sale. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between the Yamaha FZ series motorcycle versions currently available in India.
All FZ series bikes generally share a common platform, including a 149cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve, fuel-injected (FI) engine. This engine typically produces around 12.4 PS of power and 13.3 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. They also largely feature a single-channel ABS, disc brakes at both ends, and a telescopic front fork with a 7-step adjustable monocross rear suspension.
The key differences lie in their features, styling, and technological additions.

6. Yamaha FZ-S Fi Hybrid (Ver4) – This is Yamaha’s innovative step into the mild-hybrid segment for the 150cc category, aiming for improved fuel efficiency and smoother acceleration.

Based on the FZ-S Fi platform, so it includes features like Traction Control System, Y-Connect, LED lighting, and E20 compatibility.

Might feature a slightly different instrument cluster (e.g., a 4.2-inch TFT screen on some models, offering more detailed info and better connectivity display).

Higher Ground Clearance & Seating Position: Typically has a slightly taller stance for a more commanding riding position.
Power Socket: Often includes a power socket for charging devices on the go.
