Yamaha India has launched the 150cc, SZ-X and SZ-R in new colour options. The upgrade is mainly limited to cosmetic changes with an addition of a kick starter. The SZ-X is now available in three colour options: Red, Black and Silver while the SZ-R gets a dual tone colour scheme. The colour options include Quality Red, Quality Black and Quality White. The dual colour scheme certainly gives that added aggressive look to the SZ-R.
The SZ primarily competes with the Bajaj Discover 150, Honda Unicorn and Hero MotoCorp Acheiver. The bike sports a slightly de-tuned 153cc engine which also does the duty on the street fighter FZ series. The lower power helps to return a higher mileage on SZ series.
The SZ-R is also equipped with a disc brake and incorporates the Yamaha DNA of superior ride quality.
