TIDY
LOOKER, TRUSTED ENGINEERING.
All
Yamaha motorcycles in India share a high level of quality
and a fine attention to detail and the Crux S doesn't disappoint.
The neatly styled bike is a smart looker. Striking a familiar
stance, the old Crux has simply been given a cosmetic makeover.
The big change is improved decals flowing from head to tail,
with little else tampered with.
Yamaha has adopted a conservative approach which can be
seen from the uncomplicated, adequate round headlamp and
the absence of the front fairings seen on the Crux R.
Instrumentation comes courtesy the older Crux, a fuel gauge
remaining absent. While the dials provide a speedometer
on the left, warning lights for turn signals, high beam
and neutral on the right. Outdated switchgear is a sore
point while grips and levers are fine equipment as are a
conventional yet practical set of oval mirrors.
The smartly-contoured fuel tank from the earlier Crux now
bears Yamaha's distinctive tuning fork logo. The tank flows
admirably into the side panels and the rear has an attractive
tailpiece topped with a metal grabhandle.
Paint and fit and finish are to a high order and the Crux
S has a plethora of gold-finished bolt heads and a few other
similar metal parts that help give it that slightly sophisticated
look. |
