Yamaha’s youth-centric scooter to become more appealing

Yamaha Cygnus Ray ZR Gets New Colours

Yamaha India has announced two new paint schemes for its youth-centric scooter, the Cygnus Ray ZR. It is available in a total of five colours which now come refreshed graphics. The older Blue colour option is now dropped for a dark and light blue scheme. Along with it, new colour options include - matte green and red colours. The black Dark Knight paint scheme has been maintained. 

Out of the five, the dark blue, red and dark night editions will only be made available in the disc brake variants of the Cygnus Ray ZR. The remaining colours will be available in both drum and disc versions. Yamaha retails the Cygnus Ray ZR drum variant for Rs 53,451 and the disc variant for Rs 55,898 (all ex-Delhi).

Speaking on the occasion, Roy Kurian, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Yamaha Motor India, said, “As the two-wheeler industry recorded a growth of almost 8 per cent in the year 2017, the scooters segment maintained its growth momentum at 12 per cent. By introducing new colours in Cygnus Ray ZR, the company will look forward to reinstating fresh excitement in this segment.”

The Yamaha Cygnus Ray ZR has been the company's most popular scooter in the entry-level scooter segment. Targeted at college goers, it features a sporty and sharp design with its blackened visor on the front cowl and matte black finish at the front. Adding more "sporty" character to the mix is the two-tone paint finish and a chequered flag pattern at the rear. Powering it is a 113cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor that delivers 7.1PS of power and 8.1Nm of torque. Other highlights of the scooter include a massive 20-litre underseat storage and tubeless tyres.

The scooter is built around a underbone chassis, suspended upon telescopic dampers at the front and an unit-swing system at the rear. Braking is done via drum units at both ends or an optional front disc brake.

Although the change is a welcome one, we wish Yamaha had also updated the Ray ZR with features like LED headlamps and a semi-digital instrument cluster. The Ray ZR competes in the entry-level scooter segment against the TVS Wego and the recently updated Honda Dio.
