Yamaha Crux S
PRICE Rs 33,395
(ex-showroom, Pune)
ON SALE Now
Yamaha Motors India has announced a new variant on the Crux platform
called the Crux S. The new bike is visually far better with trendy
graphics adorning it from fore to aft. A new and curvaceous front
mudguard, smoothly flowing 11-litre fuel tank and nifty tail fairing
are salient features on the Crux S. The new bike blends its tank
into the seat very nicely.
The Crux has a single-cylinder, air-cooled, twin-valve 106cengine and the previously-seen
motor has been tweaked to ensure the bike meets everc tightening emission norms within
the country. An
air injection system that sends fresh air straight into the exhaust
port is visible.
The Crux S comes with 130mm drum brakes all round and a 2.50 x
18 inch and 2.75 x 18 inch front and rear tyres.
The new bike will be painted in maroon, silver and black schemes
and one can surely expect to revel in the high quality levels
as seen on previous Yamaha Motor India products.
