Introduction
Yamaha has given its popular RayZR 125 scooter a fresh update for 2026, and this time, the biggest news isn’t about power or mileage — it’s about the screen you look at every time you ride. The scooter now gets a proper colour TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation, something segment rivals like TVS and Hero still don’t offer as a single-piece unit. Alongside this, there are new colours and updated graphics across the range.
If you’re someone who rides a 125cc scooter daily and wants a bit more tech without spending on a bigger, pricier model, this update is worth a closer look. Here’s everything that’s changed, and what it’ll cost you.
Key Highlights
- The 2026 RayZR 125 range now starts at Rs 79,880 and goes up to Rs 1,00,440 (ex-showroom, Delhi) across four variants.
- The top Street Rally TFT variant gets a new colour TFT screen with turn-by-turn navigation and Answer Back functionality.
- Yamaha has also refreshed the paint options and graphics across the whole RayZR line-up, along with the related Fascino 125 range.
- The scooter’s engine has not changed — it’s still the same 125cc hybrid motor as before.
- It continues to use Yamaha’s Hybrid Technology, along with a Silent Start System and a Stop and Start System (SSS) to help save fuel in daily riding.
- Only the Street Rally TFT variant gets the new screen — the Drum, Disc, and Street Rally LCD variants keep their existing simpler displays.
- The related Fascino 125 has also been updated at the same time, with its own new colours and a TFT screen on the top Fascino S variant.
Price: What Each Variant Costs
The 2026 RayZR 125 is sold in four variants, and the price gap between them comes down mainly to brakes and the display you get.
2026 Yamaha RayZR 125 — At a Glance
| Variant | Ex-Showroom Price (Delhi) | Display | Front Brake |
|---|---|---|---|
| RayZR (Drum) | Rs 79,880 | Basic | Drum |
| RayZR (Disc) | Rs 87,680 | Basic | Disc |
| RayZR Street Rally (LCD) | Rs 93,930 | LCD | Disc |
| RayZR Street Rally (TFT) | Rs 1,00,440 | Colour TFT | Disc |
If you want the new navigation-ready TFT screen, you’ll need to go for the top Street Rally TFT variant specifically — it’s not available on the other three variants, even the Street Rally LCD one.

What’s Actually New: The TFT Screen Explained
The real headline here is the new colour TFT instrument cluster, fitted only to the range-topping Street Rally TFT variant. In simple words, this is a small colour screen (similar to what you’d find on a smartwatch) that replaces the older, simpler dial.
This new screen brings turn-by-turn navigation, so once you connect your phone, it can show you which way to turn without needing to glance down at your phone screen. It also adds Answer Back functionality — useful if you’ve lost track of where you parked, since it can help you locate your scooter through the connected app.
This is a genuinely useful upgrade for daily riders, since very few scooters in this price range and segment currently offer a single-piece colour TFT screen — most rivals still rely on simpler LCD or analogue displays.

New Colours Across the Range
Beyond the screen, Yamaha has also given the RayZR 125 a proper colour refresh, and the choices now vary depending on which variant you pick:
- RayZR (Drum): Available only in Metallic Black.
- RayZR (Disc): Available in Metallic Black, Dark Matte Blue, and Ice Fluo Vermillion.
- RayZR Street Rally (LCD): Available in Matte Black and Ice Fluo Vermillion.
- RayZR Street Rally (TFT): Available in Matte Black and Matte Titan.
So if a specific shade catches your eye, it’s worth double-checking which variant it’s actually offered on, since not every colour is available across all four versions.
Engine and Hybrid Technology: No Change Here
If you’re expecting more power or better mileage from this update, it’s worth being clear upfront: the engine itself hasn’t changed at all. The RayZR 125 continues with the same 125cc, air-cooled engine, producing around 8.2 PS of power and 10.3 Nm of torque, paired with an automatic CVT gearbox.
It also keeps Yamaha’s existing Hybrid Technology, built around a Smart Motor Generator (SMG). In simple terms, this means the scooter gets a small electric boost to help it start and pull away more smoothly, which helps save a bit of fuel over a purely petrol-only engine. This is joined by a Silent Start System, which makes starting the scooter noticeably quieter than a regular kick or self-start, and a Stop and Start System (SSS), which briefly switches the engine off when you’re stopped at a signal, then restarts it instantly once you’re ready to move again — another small but genuinely useful fuel-saving touch for city riding.

Everyday Features You Still Get
Away from what’s new, it’s worth remembering everything the RayZR 125 already does well, since none of this has changed:
- 21-litre underseat storage — genuinely spacious for a 125cc scooter, enough for a full-face helmet and a small bag.
- Side-stand engine cut-off, which stops the engine automatically if you try to ride off with the side stand still down — a simple but important safety feature.
- Smartphone connectivity, letting you pair your phone for notifications and trip data, even on variants without the new TFT screen.
- LED headlights across the range, for better visibility at night.
The Fascino 125 Gets the Same Treatment
Yamaha didn’t stop at the RayZR — its sister scooter, the Fascino 125, has received a very similar update at the same time. The Fascino now comes in three variants — Drum, Disc, and S — priced between Rs 78,980 and Rs 99,030 (ex-showroom).
Just like the RayZR, only the top-spec Fascino S gets the new colour TFT screen with turn-by-turn navigation, while the Drum and Disc variants keep their existing displays. New colour options have also been added across the Fascino range, including a fresh Metallic Orangish Gray SPL shade exclusive to the S variant.
How It Compares to Rivals
The RayZR 125 and Fascino 125 compete in a crowded 125cc scooter segment, going up against Honda’s Activa 125 and Dio 125, Hero’s Xoom 125 and Destini 125, Suzuki’s Access 125 and Avenis 125, and TVS’s Jupiter 125 and NTORQ 125.
Yamaha’s biggest talking point against this list right now is the single-piece colour TFT screen, since Hero and TVS don’t currently offer this on their 125cc scooters, while Honda and Suzuki do. If having a proper navigation-ready screen matters to you, Yamaha’s latest update puts it in a smaller, more exclusive group of options at this price point.
