Modern Engine, Timeless Spirit
The original RX100’s 2-stroke engine can’t return due to emission norms. Instead, the new version gets a refined 125cc 4-stroke engine, delivering 11–12 bhp and 11 Nm of torque.
Highlights include:

While it won’t have the raw aggression of the original, Yamaha is expected to tune the exhaust for a retro-style thump, keeping the old-school vibe alive.
Light, Nimble, and Easy to Ride
Just like the old RX100, the new one is lightweight (around 110 kg), making it easy to handle for beginners and city commuters.
- Suspension: Telescopic front forks + twin rear shock absorbers
- Brakes: Drum brakes on base models; disc + single-channel ABS on higher trims
- Riding posture: Upright, ensuring comfort for both short city rides and longer trips
This makes the bike a perfect mix of style and practicality, suited for both youngsters and nostalgic riders.

- USB charging port
- Side-stand engine cut-off

These features make the RX100 daily-use friendly without losing its retro personality.

With a 10–12 litre fuel tank, riders can expect over 600 km range on a full tank—perfect for both city users and those who often ride long distances.
