Yamaha has introduced the FZ Blue Flex E85 in India at an ex-showroom price of ₹1.24 lakh, making it the brand’s first flex-fuel motorcycle in the country. The new model is designed to operate on ethanol-blended fuels ranging from E20 to E85, supporting the country’s growing push towards cleaner and more sustainable mobility solutions.

ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE

The Yamaha FZ Blue Flex E85 is powered by a 149cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine that produces 11.5 bhp and 12.8 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox and is tuned to deliver smooth everyday performance. While the motorcycle can run on higher ethanol blends up to E85, riders may notice a slight reduction in fuel efficiency compared to regular E20 fuel.

DESIGN AND AVAILABILITY

Mechanically and visually, the FZ Blue Flex E85 remains similar to the standard FZ range. It continues to use the same chassis, telescopic front forks and rear monoshock suspension. The motorcycle is offered in a Metallic Black colour option and will be available through select Yamaha Blue Square dealerships across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu. With this launch, Yamaha joins other manufacturers expanding India’s flex-fuel motorcycle lineup.

YAMAHA STRENGTHENS ITS SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PORTFOLIO

With the launch of the Yamaha FZ Blue Flex E85, the company joins a growing list of manufacturers introducing flex-fuel motorcycles in India. As the country’s ethanol infrastructure continues to develop, motorcycles capable of operating on higher ethanol blends are expected to play an increasingly important role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable fuels.

Priced at ₹1.24 lakh (ex-showroom), the Yamaha FZ Blue Flex E85 offers buyers an environmentally conscious alternative without significantly changing the familiar riding experience of the FZ series. It also signals Yamaha’s commitment to supporting India’s transition towards cleaner mobility while retaining the practicality and reliability expected from a daily commuter.
