India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. hosted the Mega Mileage Challenge in Kolkata for the FZ-S Fi Hybrid motorcycle. The event aimed at educating customers about the impressive fuel efficiency delivered by the FZ-S Fi Hybrid’s Smart Motor Generator (SMG) Technology and its benefits. Organized in collaboration with authorized dealerships – Banyan Tree Automobiles, ATC Electronics Pvt. Ltd., Tanushka Auto, and Velocity Motors – the challenge witnessed enthusiastic participation from Yamaha customers, along with their family members who eagerly joined the experience.
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.
Kicking off the challenge, Yamaha FZ-S Fi Hybrid motorcycles were fueled up before embarking on a dedicated route of approximately 25 kilometres starting from Vedic Village Resort and return to the same point. The route covered varied riding conditions, including city roads, urban traffic, and open stretches. This gave participants a first-hand opportunity to evaluate the bike’s suspension, maneuverability, braking, acceleration, and initial pick-up. After completing the ride and returning to the venue, the bikes were refueled to their original level, and fuel consumption was recorded to calculate mileage. As part of the engagement, Yamaha experts also shared insights on effective riding techniques and maintenance practices to ensure better mileage.
Given below are the top 5 winners who were presented with trophies and certificates in appreciation of their accomplishments:
