Shortly a week after the launch of the new Saluto RX, India Yamaha Motor has announced the launch of the new Cygnus Ray-ZR scooter for the Indian market which will be available from May 2016 onwards. The all new Cygnus Ray-ZR was unveiled during the 13th Auto Expo in February this year.
The Cygnus Ray-ZR Drum Brake model will cost Rs 52,000 while the Disk Brake model will cost Rs 54,500.
The Cygnus Ray-ZR was developed around the concept of a “Next-Generation Real Boy’s Scooter.” The new model actively adopts the latest trends among young people. It takes on a new exterior design characterised by a sense of dynamism and layered forms that gives a fresh look like no other scooter before and expresses the strength of a well-trained physique.

The Cygnus Ray-ZR is powered by an air-cooled 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve 113cc “BLUE CORE” engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) unit. It features a lightweight body (103 kg) with glamorous design and offers user-friendliness. The main features also include 1) an engine with high combustion efficiency to offer among the best fuel efficiency in its class at 66 kmpl (under standard test conditions) 2) Plenty of storage space (21 litres under seat storage) 3) Newly designed instrument cluster with excellent readability, even at night 4) Tubeless tyres. The new model will come in two eye-catching colours for its disk brake model to fulfil the needs of trend-conscious young riders. It will also be available in two different colours for its drum brake variant.
