About Yamaha SZR 2018
Introducing the 2018 Yamaha SZR, a nimble and versatile motorcycle designed to cater to the diverse needs of urban riders and enthusiasts alike. Positioned in the allround category, the SZR strikes a perfect balance between practicality and performance, making it an ideal choice for daily commuting and weekend escapades. With its sleek lines and attractive color options, including classic black, bold red, and sophisticated silver, the SZR is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement on two wheels. This model, primarily sold in India, embodies Yamaha's commitment to delivering reliable and stylish rides that resonate with a wide range of motorcyclists.
At the heart of the Yamaha SZR lies a robust 123cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive torque output of 10.40 Nm at 6500 RPM. The engine’s design features a 10.0:1 compression ratio paired with a traditional carburettor fuel system, ensuring a responsive throttle and smooth power delivery. The 5-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear shifts, making it a breeze to navigate through city traffic or take on winding backroads. Weighing in at just 125 kg (275.6 lbs) with fluids, the SZR's lightweight nature enhances its agility, allowing riders to flick it effortlessly through corners and tight spaces. Coupled with its telescopic hydraulic front suspension and adjustable rear shock absorber, the SZR offers a comfortable ride, absorbing road imperfections with ease.
The 2018 Yamaha SZR is packed with features that enhance both convenience and safety. The dual-start system, which includes both electric and kick-start options, ensures that you’re always ready to ride. The bike’s traditional drum brakes at both the front and rear provide adequate stopping power for everyday use, although they may lack the sharpness of modern disc brakes. A generous fuel capacity of 13.6 liters (3.59 gallons) means fewer stops at the pump and more time enjoying the ride. Additionally, the 795 mm seat height offers a comfortable reach for a wide range of riders, making it approachable and user-friendly for both beginners and seasoned riders.
PROs:
- Agile Handling: The lightweight design and responsive suspension make navigating urban environments a breeze.
- Practical Fuel Capacity: With 13.6 liters, riders can enjoy extended trips without frequent refueling.
- Dual Start Options: Electric and kick-start features provide convenience and reliability.
CONs:
- Traditional Braking System: The drum brakes may not offer the same performance as modern disc brakes in emergency situations.
- Limited Power Output: While sufficient for city riding, the 123cc engine might not satisfy those seeking performance on the highway.
- Market Availability: Primarily sold in India, making it less accessible for international buyers or enthusiasts looking to import.
Whether you’re a new rider or a seasoned motorcyclist looking for a reliable companion for your daily journeys, the 2018 Yamaha SZR promises to deliver a blend of style, comfort, and practicality that few can match.
