India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has 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 fuelled up before embarking on a dedicated route of approximately 25 kms starting from Vedic Village Resort, Kolkata, 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, manoeuvrability, braking, acceleration, and initial pick-up. As part of the engagement, Yamaha experts also shared insights on effective riding techniques and maintenance practices to ensure better mileage. As a gesture of appreciation, each participant received exclusive souvenirs along with a complimentary bike wash.
Additionally, Yamaha’s commitment to customer satisfaction was exemplified through a comprehensive 10-point inspection, ensuring optimal performance and safety for all the motorcycles during the challenge. Given below are the top 5 winners who were presented with trophies and certificates in appreciation of their accomplishments: Names of Winning Customers: 1. Sharnadip Paul, 128.3 KMPL; 2.
