Finally, the wait is over! After years of rumours, Yamaha has silently relaunched the legendary RX100 in a completely new avatar. The new bike is now powered by a 225cc engine, hits a crazy 120 km/h top speed, and still costs less than most 150-160cc commuters. People are already calling it the “Father of Bullet” because of its raw power, thump sound, and old-school charm.
Price
The new Yamaha RX100 is priced at just ₹1.39 lakh (ex-showroom) in many states. Yes, you read that right – a proper 225cc motorcycle under 1.4 lakh rupees! Even the on-road price in most cities stays below ₹1.60 lakh. For comparison, a Royal Enfield Classic 350 starts at almost ₹2 lakh. This makes the RX100 the cheapest 225cc bike you can buy in India right now.
Engine & Performance
Pure Madness Under the tank sits a brand new 225cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that makes around 20.5 bhp and 19.5 Nm of torque. The company says it can touch 120 km/h without breaking a sweat. The exhaust note is deep and throaty – almost like a mini Bullet. You get a 4-speed gearbox (yes, just like the old RX100) which keeps things simple and fun.
Old Looks, New Heart
The design is pure nostalgia. Round headlamp, chrome fuel tank, spoke wheels, and that famous RX100 badge – everything screams 90s. But now you get disc brake at front, better suspension, and tubeless tyres. Weight is still under 120 kg, so it feels super light and flickable in traffic.
Features You Get
- Front disc brake
- Analog-digital cluster
- Electric start + kick
- LED tail lamp
- 12-litre fuel tank
- 810 mm seat height (easy for short riders too)
Why People Are Calling It ‘Father of Bullet’
The torque, the sound, the relaxed cruising style – everything reminds you of a Bullet, but in a lighter, cheaper, and faster package. College students, daily commuters, and even village riders are going crazy for it because it gives that “big bike” feeling at half the price.
