Manual Gearbox, Scooter Comfort
However, what sets the Yamaha MIO 125 apart is its 4-speed manual gearshift with automatic clutch. This revolutionary new system called Easy Shift enables you to shift up or down without using the clutch, so the next gear is waiting at your foot instantly. It has greater performance and fuel economy control, as well as providing a seamless experience to the rider.
So if you need to climb a steep city street, or weave your way through traffic, the manual gearbox is very flexible – more so than a rubber-band CVT scooter. Riders will also appreciate the more controlled descents and improved engine braking for steep terrain due to the increased deceleration.
Efficient Performance with Everyday Power
Powering this underbone is a 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder SOHC fuel-injected engine that produces around 9.4 PS and 9.6 Nm of torque across the rev range. This is good enough for daily city commuting, weekend jaunts and light highway use if you wish.
This scooter delivers a great fuel economy of 50-55 kmpl with the use of fuel injection and manual transmission which is fantastic and it is one of the most fuel efficient scooters of its generation. Riders get the joy of shifting gears and the satisfaction of fewer trips to the gas station.
City-Friendly Design and Handling
Additionally Yamaha has taken excellent care to ensure that the MIO 125 looks new and fresh. It has a sporty, youthful design that includes aerodynamic styling, colourful graphics and LED lights that make it look attractive on the road. Its step-through construction and low 760 mm seat height make the Ray Z more accessible to all riders, including shorter ones.
At 108 kg, the scooter is extremely light and responsive. When you need to accelerate, avoid traffic, park in tight spots or make a quick U-turn, you can do so with confidence with the MIO 125. With a ground clearance of 155 mm and telescopic front suspension, it glides over bumps and potholes with ease.
Practical Storage and Daily Utility
For a small bike, the Yamaha MIO 125 has a lot of storage. You get a large 21-litre compartment under the seat where you can store a helmet or a small bag. There is also a front pocket to easily keep essentials like your phone, wallet or gloves.
The digital-analogue instrument console gives you the most important information with gear position indicator, fuel gauge, trip meter and odometer at a glance. The safe side-stand engine cut-off feature is the icing on the cake.
Ride Quality and User Feedback
The MIO 125 rides really well. Riders love its light weight and gear control which is better than a regular automatic scooter according to users. It is a great starting point for those who want to change gears for the first time and even those who are more experienced but want a little more involvement in the gear changing process.
Its fuel economy, low maintenance cost, and market styling are the subject of praise from fans in the real world. It performs really well in the city and on highways. The scooter has a good wheel balance, so good for daily commuting.
Pricing and Value
The Yamaha MIO 125 is priced reasonably, so it is a bike for almost every rider. Although prices vary in different regions, prices are very competitive for the 125cc scooter segment, much higher than other CVT scooters in the same price level.
Final Verdict
The Yamaha MIO 125 makes scooter riding even more fun. Combine the one-of-a-kind manual transmission with bike-like handling and you have a machine that brings ultimate freedom. Whether you’re a student, a beginner rider or a city commuter looking for a way to get around on two wheels, the MIO 125 is a fresh new option.
