It’s official — the Yamaha RX100 is coming back.
But this isn’t just a remake for nostalgia’s sake. Yamaha has reimagined the classic icon with today’s tech, a cleaner engine, and a fuel efficiency figure that sounds almost unreal: 90 km/l.
Whether you remember its iconic roar from the ’90s or are hearing about it for the first time, the RX100 is ready to shake up India’s commuter segment all over again.
Retro Looks, Upgraded for 2026
The new RX100 keeps the soul of the original intact — think:
- Boxy fuel tank with bold stripes
- Round chrome mirrors and headlamp
- Old-school stance with modern detailing
But this time, it’s smarter. You get LED lights, a semi-digital cluster, and refreshed paint options that give the RX100 a vintage-meets-futuristic feel. It looks like a legend, but rides like a 2026 machine.
90 km/l Mileage – Yes, Really
Yamaha didn’t just redesign the body — they reworked the engine too. The RX100 now runs on a BS6-compliant 110cc fuel-injected engine, built to deliver peak efficiency.
With smarter combustion, lighter materials, and Yamaha’s tuning magic, the result is a jaw-dropping 90 kilometers per litre. Daily riders, rejoice — this bike is built to save you serious money at the pump.
A New Engine, Same Yamaha Thrill
While the legendary 2-stroke engine is gone (RIP to that unforgettable exhaust note), the new engine keeps performance sharp and responsive.
Expect:
- Smooth pickup
- Reliable throttle response
- Quieter, more refined riding
- Cleaner emissions for urban use
It’s designed to perform on Indian roads — whether you’re riding through city traffic or taking weekend detours.
Built for Daily Riders
Comfort hasn’t been sacrificed for style. The RX100 offers:
- A well-cushioned seat
- Upright handlebar for relaxed posture
- Telescopic front suspension for bumpy roads
- Lightweight chassis for easy maneuvering
It’s a daily workhorse with the style of a collector’s item.
Safety & Tech — No Compromise
Yes, it looks retro. But under the tank, it’s future-ready.
Features include:
- Front disc brakes with CBS
- Tubeless tyres for added grip
- Gear position indicator
- Mobile charging port
- Semi-digital meter with trip info
You’re not just getting old-school cool — you’re getting real-world practicality.
Launch Timeline and Price
Yamaha is expected to roll out the RX100 in early 2026, with bookings likely opening by late 2025.
Estimated price:
₹95,000 to ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom)
That places it in direct competition with commuter legends like the Hero Splendor XTEC and Honda Shine — but with far more style and heritage behind it.
Final Take: More Than Just a Comeback
The Yamaha RX100 isn’t just a bike. It’s a legacy.
And now, it’s been rebuilt for the future — without losing what made it special in the past. Whether you’re an old fan itching to own it again or a Gen-Z rider discovering the legend for the first time, the new RX100 delivers a perfect balance of:
- Nostalgia + New Tech
- Mileage + Performance
- Style + Substance
It’s cleaner. It’s smarter. It’s more efficient.
And yes — it’s still a thrill to ride.
