Yamaha Motor India Sales has introduced an all new range of Alpha, Ray and Ray Z scooters for the year 2015. The company launched the new variants of its scooter range enabled with Yamaha’s Next Generation ‘Blue Core’ engine concept. ‘Blue Core’ is a development ideal for products that take riding enjoyment, fuel efficiency and environmental performance to all-new levels. The engines based on the “Blue Core” ideal are the result of a thorough pursuit to 1) increase combustion efficiency, 2) increase cooling efficiency and 3) reduce power loss. The Alpha (Blue Core Enabled)

As a result of this enhancement, the new scooter range from Yamaha will boast of improved fuel mileage at 66 kmpl (Old mileage was 62 Kmpl). While Ray and Ray Z were launched in the country in 2012 and 2013 respectively, Alpha made its debut during the Auto Expo, held in 2014. While Ray and Ray Z cater to young girls and boys respectively, Alpha caters to the family segment.
The new scooter models based on Blue Core development ideal are powered by a newly designed air-cooled 113cc four stroke single cylinder engine. There are few minor changes in the engine from the current scooter range. These changes are: Nickel spark plug for improved combustion, new muffler setting and New BS carburetor & TPS setting.
