Hyderabad : India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. hosted the Mega Mileage Challenge in Hyderabad for the FZ-S Fi Hybrid motorcycle and 125cc Fi Hybrid Scooters – Fascino 125 Fi & RayZR 125 Fi. The event aimed to educate customers about the impressive fuel efficiency delivered by the Hybrid Technology featuring Smart Motor Generator (SMG) system and its benefits. Organized in collaboration with top Yamaha Blue Square dealerships the challenge witnessed enthusiastic participation from Yamaha customers, and their family members.
The Smart Motor Generator (SMG) and Stop & Start System (SSS), optimizes fuel economy and as a result, also reduces emissions. These systems ensure quieter starts, electric-assisted torque for exhilarating acceleration, and engine shutdown during idle, ultimately conserving fuel. This hybrid innovation allows riders to enjoy longer journeys with cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious riders seeking high performance and efficiency.
Kicking off the challenge, Yamaha motorcycles and scooters were fuelled up and set off on a dedicated route – 65 kms for motorcycles and 35 kms for scooters – starting from Naren Gardens Convention Centre in Hyderabad and back to the same point. The route covered varied riding conditions, including city roads, urban traffic, and open stretches. This gave participants a first-hand opportunity to evaluate the bike’s suspension, manoeuvrability, braking, acceleration, and initial pick-up. After completing the ride and returning to the venue, the bikes were refuelled to their original level, and fuel consumption was recorded to calculate mileage. As part of the engagement, Yamaha experts also shared insights on effective riding techniques and maintenance practices to ensure better mileage.
As a gesture of appreciation, each participant received exclusive souvenirs along with other complimentary bike maintenance services. Additionally, Yamaha’s commitment to customer satisfaction was exemplified through a comprehensive 10-point inspection, ensuring optimal performance and safety for all the motorcycles during the challenge.
