Yamaha Ray ZR Street Rally Edition - 5 Things To Know

What you do get though are some additional features along with 바카라�Rally바카라�-inspired livery. Combine them together, slap it onto the existing Yamaha Ray ZR and voila, you have a 바카라�sportier바카라� scooter. Lately though, the trend for such sporty scooters have gained traction, especially in urban areas, as they offer the convenience of an auto transmission while being a style statement. The Ray ZR, launched back in April 2016, for example, locked horns with the Honda Dio. Yamaha took this platform and added a little oomph to it in the form of the Street Rally Edition. Here바카라�s what the scooter바카라�s all about:

Design -
The Street Rally edition of the Yamaha Ray ZR gets a new headlight fairing, which Yamaha refers to as 바카라�Wing Style.바카라� Its V-shaped angular design is inspired from Yamaha바카라�s naked sports bike, the MT-09. Its smart design also extends to the top of the handlebar, thus acting as a wind deflector of sorts. The two horn-like extensions on either side of the fairing are termed as 바카라�Knuckle Guards바카라� by the Japanese firm. Funnily enough, they won바카라�t really protect your hands from a physical impact in case of an accident.

Moving on, the sporty rearview mirror design on the Street Rally edition is inspired from the FZ25. Moreover, to set the tone of a 바카라�Rally-Styled바카라� scooter, Yamaha will offer the Ray ZR Street Rally Edition in two exclusive liveries: Rally Red and Racing Blue. The rest of the scooter바카라�s panels and bodywork remain unchanged.

Features -

On the feature front, the Yamaha Ray ZR Street Rally Edition packs a fully digital instrument console, similar to the one seen on the Cygnus Alpha. The two cubby holes found on either side of the front apron can accommodate half-litre bottles of water and other small essentials while the underseat storage extends the repository by 21 litres. Additionally, you get a utility hook below the seat.

For better comfort, Yamaha has bestowed the single-piece seat on the scooter with 10mm of additional cushioning while also raising the pillion seat for better ergonomics. Much like the standard model, the Rally Edition gets an underseat fuel filler cap instead of an external one, which would바카라�ve made life much simpler. Ground clearance remains unchanged at 130mm.

Powerhouse -

Both the standard variant and the Rally Edition share the same engine: a 113cc, single-cylinder, Blue Core motor that makes 7.1PS at 7500rpm and peak torque of 8.1Nm at 5000rpm. As for Yamaha바카라�s patented 바카라�Blue Core바카라� technology, it essentially reduces power loss while improving cooling and combustion efficiency. With this smart tech, the scooter is able to achieve a company-claimed efficiency of 66kmpl.

Underpinnings -
Not much has changed here either. The Yamaha Ray ZR Street Rally employs the same telescopic forks up front and a single shock absorber at the rear. As for braking duties, Yamaha offers a 170mm front disc with a single-piston caliper as standard while the rear gets the same drum brake. Its blacked out 6-spoke, 10-inch alloys are shod with 90-section tubeless tyres at both ends.

Competition & Price check -
At Rs 57,898, the Ray ZR Street Rally Edition commands a premium of Rs 2,000 over its standard disc-equipped variant. It competes against the 2018 Honda Dio DLX (Rs 53,837), TVS Wego (Rs Rs.50802) and Suzuki Let바카라�s (49,030, all ex-showroom Delhi).

All things considered, the Ray ZR Street Rally Edition바카라�s youth-oriented sporty design gives it a competitive edge over its rivals.
