The Yamaha RX 100 was one of the most loved bikes in India during the 1990s. Just like the Hero Splendor is seen everywhere today, the RX 100 was the favorite bike of its time. Yamaha stopped making it years ago because of stricter pollution rules. But now, due to high demand from fans, Yamaha is bringing back this legendary bike with a fresh new look and modern features.
The new Yamaha RX 100 Reborn will come with a 110cc engine, giving an amazing mileage of 80 km/l. The best part? It will start at just ₹80,000, making it an affordable yet powerful choice for bike lovers.
Powerful Performance with a Classic Feel
The new Yamaha RX 100 Reborn keeps the spirit of the old bike but adds new technology. It has a 110cc, 4-stroke engine that delivers 11.02 bhp power and 10.45 Nm torque. This means quick acceleration—it can reach 40 km/h in just 4 seconds and has a top speed of 95–100 km/h.
Unlike the original RX 100, which had a 2-stroke engine, the new version follows the latest BS6+ pollution rules. This makes it more eco-friendly while still giving strong performance. It also comes with fuel injection (EFI) technology, which helps in better fuel efficiency. Yamaha claims the bike can give between 55–80 km/l mileage, depending on how you ride.

Classic Look with Modern Features
Yamaha has kept the old-school design that fans love, like the round headlight, chrome fenders, and flat seat. But now, it also has new upgrades like LED lights, a digital-analog speedometer, and tubeless tires for better safety. Some higher models may even have Bluetooth connectivity and a USB charging port.
The bike is lightweight at around 110 kg, making it easy to handle in city traffic as well as on highways.
Safety and Smooth Riding Experience
For safety, the new RX 100 comes with a front disc brake, and some models will have single-channel ABS. The base model will have drum brakes. The suspension includes telescopic forks in the front and spring-assisted shocks at the back, giving a comfortable ride even on bumpy roads. The alloy wheels and tubeless tires add more stability and reduce maintenance issues.
