July 11, 2026 Avinash

If you are planning to buy a new bike but are hesitating because the government may introduce E30 or E40 fuel in India, then hold your seats. Yamaha has just launched its new budget bike at a starting price of Rs 1.24 lakh (ex-showroom). This bike is none other than the Yamaha FZ Blue Flex, which can run on E20 to E85 petrol.

This is the first time Yamaha has introduced a flex-fuel model in the country, and this model will be available at select Blue Square dealerships in Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and more.

The design of the Yamaha FZ Flex Fuel is identical to that of its standard model.

Features of Yamaha FZ Flex Fuel

The design of the Yamaha FZ Flex Fuel is identical to that of its standard model. The motorcycle comes with muscular streetfighter styling. It features a large and stylish fuel tank, sharp tank shrouds, and an LED headlight, giving it a bold and premium road presence.

In addition, the LED taillight, split-style seat, and attractive graphics further enhance its sporty appeal. The wide handlebar and comfortable riding position provide a pleasant riding experience on city roads as well as during long-distance journeys. Overall, the design of the Yamaha FZ Flex Fuel appeals to both young riders and daily commuters.

This bike has been introduced in a single colour option, i.e. Metallic Black. For rider safety, it gets telescopic front forks at the front and a monoshock unit at the rear.

This version of the bike comes equipped with a tweaked 149-cc engine that easily handles higher ethanol blends. This engine generates a maximum power of 11.7 hp and a peak torque of 12.8 Nm.

Why This Launch Matters to Indian Customers? (The Times of GenZ Opinion)

The launch of the Yamaha FZ Blue Flex marks another important step in India’s transition toward cleaner mobility. Its ability to run on ethanol blends from E20 to E85 gives riders greater fuel flexibility as the government expands ethanol adoption.

It also helps reduce dependence on imported crude oil, lowers vehicle emissions, and offers buyers a future-ready motorcycle without changing the familiar Yamaha FZ experience.
