Joining the likes of Fascino and Alpha models, the other scooter is the Yamaha Ray ZR scooter. The scooter is aimed primarily at the male buyers and it shares its platform with Ray-Z. The Ray ZR scooter is developed keeping the youth in mind. The idea was to design a ‘next-gen’ scooter which appeals to the young crowd of the country. The new exterior design of the Ray ZR is characterised by a sense of fluidity and dynamism which gives the scooter a fresh, exciting look. Yamaha offers a variety of Ray ZR colours, which sit well with trendy urban buyers. The Ray ZR scooter is the fifth model from Yamaha stables and is an important model for the company in terms of gaining a foothold in the highly competitive 110 cc scooter market in India which is currently dominated by Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India and TVS Motor Company.
Yamaha Ray ZR Looks
Targeted at the male buyers, the scooter has been given a muscular treatment. Some of the highlights of the design are the sharp-angular front apron, cool-looking alloy rims, black exhaust, re-worked head lamp up front, a newly designed instrument cluster, sharp lines on the side panels and large tyres. Yamaha offers the Ray ZR in five dual tone colours which are Armada Blue, Matt Green,Maverick Blue, Rooster Red and Dark Knight. The dual tone colour scheme along with the snazzy body graphics add to the funky look of the scooter.

The 113 cc Blue Core engine has been borrowed from Fascino and is paired to a continuous variable transmission or a CVT unit which makes for effortless riding. The Ray ZR uses a 113 cc, 2 valve, and air-cooled, single cylinder engine with Blue Core technology. The engine generates 7.1 bhp of max power at 7,500 rpm and 8.1Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm.
