India Yamaha Motor, in collaboration with its authorized dealership Samukh Motors, hosted its inaugural “Mileage Challenge” for the 2025 FZ-S Fi Hybrid motorcycle in Chennai. Aimed at educating customers about the impressive fuel efficiency of the FZ-S Fi Hybrid’s Smart Motor Generator (SMG) Technology and its benefits, the event saw proactive participation from several Yamaha customers who eagerly took part in the challenge.
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.
To kick off the challenge, Yamaha FZ-S Fi Hybrid motorcycles were fuelled up before embarking on a dedicated route starting from Samukh Motors in Sholinganallur to Mamallapuram, covering riding conditions like city ride, urban traffic and open roads. This gave participants the first-hand opportunity to evaluate the bike’s suspension, manoeuvrability, braking, acceleration, and initial pick-up. Upon completing the ride and returning to the venue, the bikes were refuelled to their initial level, and the fuel consumption was recorded for mileage calculation. As part of the engagement, Yamaha experts also shared insights on effective riding techniques and bike maintenance that ensures better mileage.
As a gesture of gratitude, each participant was rewarded with exclusive souvenirs, along with a complimentary bike wash. Furthermore, Yamaha’s commitment to customer satisfaction was exemplified through a comprehensive 10-point inspection, guaranteeing optimal performance and safety for all the customers’ motorcycles during the challenge.
