New Yamaha RX 100 Released: A Fresh Start for an Age-Old Legend- In the Indian motorcycle scene, the Yamaha RX 100 has always remained a motorcycle of reverence. Wrapped in a slim body, it boasted of a powerhouse engine, popularized during the bass-heavy 80s and 90s, the RX 100 and its intoxicating exhaust note was a sensation during its time. With the announcement of the new Yamaha RX 100, the company has embraced modern technology to pay homage to a cultural icon of the bygone era.

New RX 100 retains the use of an old school design along with sleek embellishments. Line the old school features, it sports an oval lamp, a flat saddle, shaped bodywork, and a teardrop shaped tank. LED lights, an LCD-analog console, and disc brakes have all been added to give the motorcycle modern functionality. The result is a motorcycle that is both vintage and innovative, a testament to Yamaha’s marketing efforts to capture the attention of new-age riders while still appealing to legacy fans.
Engine and Performance
Yamaha RX 100 2025 differs from the original two-stroke motor concept and has a refined 4-stroke fuel-injected motor that meets the modern emission standards. It should be able to fit into the 150cc class category and should be able to produce around 14-15bhp. This will allow for a bold city performance and a moderate highway cruising. Yamaha simultaneously claims to have tuned the exhaust to deliver that RX throat note.
Features and Technology
During the age of modern motorcycles, the RX still retains its retro aesthetic. Thus features like polygonal LED headlight , Dual channel ABS, Side-stand engine cut-off, and smart phone connectivity atop the line variants should be a breeze for the budgeted RX buyers.
Safety and Comfort
Apart from the statement regarding city performance, RX 100 becomes the first amongst its peers to have wider tubeless tires which enhances stability paired with better chassis construction. Both the front and rear disc brakes allow for improved control, thus increasing overall confidence for longer rides.
Closing Remarks
More than a motorcycle, the RX 100 was, and still is, an emotion for millions who grew up appreciating the original, and with the retro design and modern attributes, the motto ‘Time travels with you’ is justified with the 4-stroke engine. For the new generation and old school riders, the RX 100 being re-launched seems to be the most exciting motorcycle to be launched in 2025.
