India Yamaha Motor has launched the Ray ZR Street Rally Edition in India at a price of Rs. 57,898 (Ex-showroom, Delhi). The scooter was first showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo and Yamaha says that the design has been inspired by other global models of Yamaha. The Ray ZR Street Rally edition is basically a decked up version of the standard Ray ZR, with a sporty demeanour and snazzy graphics. The front headlight apron now gets a 'wing-style' fairing which has been inspired from the Yamaha MT-09, giving the scooter a sporty stance. Also, the company has incorporated new knuckle-guards to protect the hands from wind-blast. Other features include the fully digital instrument console, the 'rising air' rear end and the roller rocker arm which reduces the loss of power at low speeds.
