2026 Yamaha RayZR 125 Launched in India: TFT Display, New Colours, Price Starts at ₹79,880

The 2026 Yamaha RayZR 125 has launched in India priced between ₹79,880 and ₹1,00,440 (ex-showroom, Delhi), with the update centred on a new full-colour TFT instrument cluster rather than any mechanical overhaul. Yamaha has kept the same 125cc hybrid engine and 99kg kerb weight that made the RayZR a favourite with younger riders, and instead spent this refresh on screen tech, fresh colourways and connected features that its rivals from TVS and Honda have already been offering for a couple of years.

What's Actually New on the RayZR 125 for 2026

The headline change sits on the top-spec RayZR Street Rally, which now gets a full-colour TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation and an Answer Back function to help you locate the scooter in a crowded parking lot. Four new shades — Matte Titan, Ice Fluo Vermillion, Dark Matte Blue and Metallic Black — join the lineup, and Yamaha has tweaked the graphics package across variants. Everything else carries over. The 21-litre underseat storage, LED headlight, front disc brake option, Smart Motor Generator (SMG) hybrid system and side-stand engine cut-off are all present as before, because Yamaha's real target here was catching up on the digital dashboard front, not reinventing the scooter.

Engine, Performance and What It Feels Like on Indian Roads

Under the floorboard sits the familiar 125cc, air-cooled engine making 8.2 PS at 6,500rpm and 10.3 Nm at 5,000rpm, paired with a CVT gearbox. That's a modest output on paper, but the SMG hybrid setup — essentially a beefed-up starter-generator that assists the engine off the line — gives the RayZR a noticeably quicker roll-off from traffic lights than the numbers suggest. Top speed hovers around 90kmph, which is plenty for city and short highway stints but not something you'd want to sustain on the expressway for long. At 99kg kerb weight, it's among the lightest 125cc scooters sold here, and that shows up in how easily it threads through Mumbai's peak-hour lanes or a crowded Chandni Chowk market run.

RayZR 125 Price in India: Variant-Wise Breakdown

Yamaha sells the RayZR across four trims. The base Drum variant opens the range at ₹79,880, the Disc version costs ₹87,680, and the range-topping Street Rally with the new TFT screen tops out at ₹1,00,440 — all ex-showroom Delhi. Step outside the capital and the on-road price climbs with RTO and insurance: the base Drum lands at roughly ₹92,336 on-road in Delhi, while the fully-loaded Street Rally pushes past ₹1,14,933. Buyers in Mumbai and other metros should expect on-road figures within a few thousand rupees of that Delhi number, since RTO slabs are the biggest variable.

For someone financing the base variant with a typical 20% down payment over 60 months at 11% interest, the EMI works out to roughly ₹1,600 a month. Stretch that to the top Street Rally trim and the same terms push the EMI closer to ₹2,000 a month — a gap of about ₹400 that buys you the TFT screen, navigation and the more aggressive Street Rally bodywork with its flyscreen and handguards.

Real-World Mileage and What You'll Actually Spend on Petrol

Yamaha's official ARAI figure for the RayZR 125 stands at 49kmpl, though owner-reported averages on most tracking platforms hover closer to 46-47kmpl once you factor in Indian traffic conditions and shorter trips. At today's petrol price of around ₹103 a litre in Delhi, someone riding 1,000km a month — a fairly typical commuter figure — would spend approximately ₹2,220 on fuel monthly. That's competitive for the segment, though it trails the more fuel-focused Honda Activa 125.

Service costs are where Yamaha's dealer network keeps things simple: expect to spend somewhere in the ₹3,500-4,000 range across scheduled services up to 10,000km, largely because the hybrid system needs no special maintenance beyond regular oil and filter changes.

How the RayZR 125 Stacks Up Against the Ntorq and Dio

The 125cc scooter segment is crowded, and the RayZR's closest rivals remain the TVS Ntorq 125 and the Honda Dio 125, both of which Drivio has covered in detail in their own right.

The Ntorq still wins on outright sportiness and TVS's SmartXonnect app suite, and the Dio counters with Honda's badge value and lower running costs. What the RayZR brings to that fight is a genuinely lighter chassis and a starting price that undercuts both rivals by a meaningful margin, even before you factor in the hybrid system's fuel savings.

Should You Buy the 2026 RayZR 125?

If you're cross-shopping 125cc scooters purely on features, the RayZR Street Rally's new TFT screen finally closes the gap Yamaha had left open against TVS and Honda for two years — and it does so without pushing the price into premium territory. Riders who don't care about navigation on a dashboard are better off saving the roughly ₹13,000 difference and picking the Disc variant instead, which gets you the same engine, the same weight advantage and a front disc brake without paying for a screen you'll rarely glance at mid-commute. Either way, this remains one of the lightest, easiest-to-live-with 125cc scooters on Indian roads today. Check the on-road price and EMI for the 2026 Yamaha RayZR 125 in your city on Drivio.
