Yamaha RX 100 Engine Features
From Two to Four Stroke Transition From Two Stroke to Four-Stroke: The initial RX 100 stood out due to its powerful two-stroke motor with fast throttle response and distinctive exhaust note, however in order to meet environmental standards it is expected that future models may include fuel injected air-cooled 100cc 4-Strokes instead.
Expected Engine Specifications
- Displacement: 100cc
- Engine Type: Single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled
- Fuel System: Fuel Injection (FI) for better efficiency
- Power Output: ~9-10 BHP
- Torque: ~9-10 Nm
Why a Four-Stroke Engine?
- Better Fuel Efficiency
- Low Emissions (BS6/OBD-2 conforming)
- Low Maintenance (No requirement for 2 stroke mixing of oil)
While purists may be disappointed that the 2-stroke is a more smooth as well as more reliable to mention a cleaner and more efficient motor, the latest generation is expected to be huge.
Mileage of New Yamaha RX 100
According to reports, Yamaha RX 100 will deliver 45-50 kmpl when driving around town and 50-55kmpl on highway driving. With its four-stroke engine featuring fuel injection technology and light (110-115 kg) slim design enhancing mileage performance.
Assuring maximum performance from this bike involves practicing correct riding techniques with smooth acceleration. Doing this will enable you to obtain optimal figures. Incorporating maintenance practices can further boost fuel efficiency.
RX 100 stands out as an attractive commuter option because of its balanced ratio between performance-to-cost balance and increasing fuel costs; making it suitable for daily commuting duties by commuters. When riding mixed (city as well as highway), its average mileage range is 48-52% of your target speed range.
Conclusion
Yamaha RX 100 strikes an ideal balance between modern engineering and nostalgia, satisfying purists without losing its iconic twin-stroke sound since its introduction. Meanwhile, this latest model refines this rawness of its predecessor by running more efficiently (45-55 kmpl) while offering long-term enhancements such as LED lighting and ABS+ digital instrument cluster technology.
Priced between Rs1.4-1.55 million, Yamaha hopes that its RX 100 can appeal to young and nostalgic bike enthusiasts. Yamaha hopes that its replica can capture both elements from its predecessor while adding contemporary elegance – which could create something truly legendary when released for sale in January 2027.
