These two-wheelers will help you save quite some money with rising fuel costs
Fuel prices have gone through the roof in 2021, and travelling long distances on a daily basis can be a bit harsh on your pocket. To solve this issue, a few bike makers have worked on their products, brought new technologies to improve mileage figures.. So here's the list of most fuel efficient two-wheelers tested by us in 2021.
Yamaha Fascino 125 Hybrid:
Yamaha recently updated the Fascino 125 with hybrid technology, so the scooter is now powered by a 125cc engine with a smart motor generator that assists the rider when accelerating from a standstill. This engine churns out 8.3PS (same as before) and 10.3Nm (0.6Nm more). We had also tested the 2020 Fascino 125, and were impressed by it’s mileage figures. However, this mild-hybrid technology has made it even better as the scooter delivered an outstanding 68.75kmpl in the city during our test run. The Fascino 125 Hybrid Disc variant is priced at Rs 80,530 (ex-showroom Delhi).
Yamaha RayZR 125 Hybrid:
Yamaha's RayZR 125 gets the same engine and mild hybrid technology that we have discussed above with the Fascino 125 Hybrid. While the Fascino left us amazed with its amazing mileage figures, the RayZr, on the other hand, turned out to be even better as the scooter delivered the best in class 71.33kmpl of mileage in our city test run. The Yamaha RayZr 125 is available in STD Hybrid (Drum), STD Hybrid (Disc), and Street Rally Hybrid variants that are priced at Rs 76,830, Rs 79,830, and Rs 83,830 (ex-showroom Delhi) respectively.
TVS Radeon BS6:
The TVS Radeon is powered by a 109.7cc single-cylinder BS6 engine that produces 8.2PS (0.2PS less than the BS4 model) and 8.7Nm. Compared to the BS4 model, this engine only gets an additional fuel injection technology which has further improved its fuel efficiency. In our mileage test, the Radeon delivered 73.68kmpl in the city and 68.6kmpl on the highway, an increase of 7.39kmpl and 4.63kmpl respectively compared to the BS4 model. The price of the TVS Radeon starts at Rs 59,900 (ex-showroom Delhi).

To capture the 125cc motorcycle segment, TVS recently launched the Raider in the Indian market. The Raider gets sporty styling, some cool features and is powered by a 124.8cc single-cylinder engine that produces 11.38 PS and 11.2 Nm. In our fuel efficiency test, this engine has managed to deliver 65.44kmpl in the city and 71.93kmpl on the highway. While this engine delivers good fuel efficiency, it doesn't come at the cost of performance as the bike gets a strong low and mid-range punch. The Raider is available in two variants: Drum and Disc, priced at Rs 77,500 and Rs 85,469 (ex-showroom Delhi) respectively.
Bajaj Pulsar NS125:
The baby NS in the Pulsar range gets similar styling as its elder sibling. The bike is powered by a 124.4cc single-cylinder air-cooled DTS-i engine that churns out 11.99PS and 11Nm. This engine delivered 64.75kmpl in the city and 56.46kmpl on the highway, making the NS125 one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its segment. The Pulsar NS125 is available in a standard variant that is priced at Rs 99,347 (ex-showroom Delhi).
Yamaha R15 V4:
The Yamaha R15 V4 is undoubtedly one of the most attractive looking bikes that you can buy right now in the Indian market. And what makes it even better is its fuel-efficient nature. The entry-level sportbike manages to deliver 55.20kmpl in the city and 60.56kmpl on the highway, thanks to its 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that is offered with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation Technology).

Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid (2019-2025) User Reviews
It is one of the smoothest and most nimble handling scooters available in the market with a strong competition it offers a very good accessibility for new riders as well as the friendly nature makes it easy to ride in everyday traffic. the positive thing of this scooter is the handling, it is very easy to handle in heavy traffic, even with travelling a small amount of household goods, also the smoothness of the vehicle, negative points will be it has stiff suspension and under seat fuel filling system which cannot be accessible to the most. yes the bike can be recommended to a new rider or who wants overall comfort, mileage and easy going nature if the scooter, also one must consider the pricing, though it falls in a premium segment the features are comparatively less, but has very strong points to balance out.
Good driving with pillion. Nice pickup power, must maintain periodically without fail or it will issue its mileage and performance. Good option for daily based and long rides without much shivering of handels in the road. Boot space is limited in the front area in of the disadvantages, otherwise it’s a good to go option.
2025 January I have purchased this fascino 125 vehicle, very comfortable journey and nice experience while riding in this scooter but cost is little more expensive in my opinion. It would better if it can affordable at low budget. This is eco friendly vehicle. I have ride this vehicle almost 5,000 km very nice experience. I felt very easy to control, less weight easy to turn suddenly, good budget friendly vehicle, very smooth while riding no shaking or vibration. Yes, I will definitely recommend to my family, Relatives and friends. I'll constantly and frequently using this vehicle to my office and home and city commute, no worries it also good for long travel so no worries less maintenance charges.
For Looks and spacious, because of the hybrid system , bluetooth connectivity, other scooter have classy but i selected for over all features, other scooters does not offers many features at that time. Engine get noisy within 300 km if we have habbit of sudden throttling and habit of rash driving so bike must be handled slow and gradual increase in throttle then we wont get any noise,it will settle after several km of slow and steady throttling, speedometer wire get become faulty 6 months once , scooter will accelerate itself after 6 month because of some fault in accelerator wire at fist it will 10 km/h then if we did not fix it with mechanic it will gradually increase and go upto 40 km/h when we start the bike its act a cruise control but we need do unwanted breaking and loss in mileage, breaks must be periodically tightened other it will become loose, I do not have experience with other bike hence this is my first bike I do not have any experience with other scooters so I do not have knowledge and experience to comment about this , bike have good pickup once we reached a speed of 40 to 60 km per hour then we can over take anything without any lag , but at first 40 km we will feel rubber band effect .
the speed meter wire is not up to the mark.. every pot hole feels like you got into it and the front wheel touches the protector so it makes noise. the real world mileage for an average driver would come down to 50kmpl. Not suitable for heavy weight drivers. Take it only if you like the design. should consider other options before you take it.
