Yamaha RX 100 Comeback Rumors Spark Excitement: Expected Launch, Price, and Features Leaked
Legendary Two-Wheeler May Return with Modern Twist — Could Rival Royal Enfield Models
New Delhi – One of India’s most iconic motorcycles, the Yamaha RX 100, is making waves once again—this time through rumors of an anticipated relaunch. Viral social media chatter and several unconfirmed reports suggest the legendary bike could make its official comeback by February 2026, potentially reborn with modern features and retro-inspired design.

Though Yamaha has not officially confirmed the RX 100’s relaunch, the speculation has generated massive buzz among auto enthusiasts, especially those nostalgic for the two-stroke classic that once ruled Indian roads.
Expected Features of Yamaha RX 100 2026
If the rumors are to be believed, the new Yamaha RX 100 may blend vintage charm with contemporary technology:
-
Digital instrument cluster with speedometer and trip meter
-
Mobile charging port for modern convenience
-
Disc brakes on both wheels for enhanced safety
-
Dual-channel ABS system for better road grip
-
Top speed potentially around 90 kmph
-
LED headlamps and indicators (expected, not confirmed)
These feature upgrades could position the RX 100 to compete directly with Royal Enfield’s Classic 350 and similar retro-styled motorcycles.
Engine & Performance Speculation
Sources speculate the modern RX 100 could house a 348.96cc single-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. While the original RX 100 was a lightweight, two-stroke marvel, the upcoming version is expected to comply with modern BS6/BS7 emission norms, possibly featuring a 4-stroke engine with better fuel efficiency.
-
Estimated Mileage: 35–40 km/l
-
Engine Type: Likely air-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke
Yamaha RX 100 Expected Price Range
Reports suggest the price of the new RX 100 may fall in the ₹1.40 lakh to ₹1.50 lakh (ex-showroom) range, making it accessible to a wide range of buyers and potentially disrupting the mid-range motorcycle segment in India.
This puts it in direct price competition with Honda CB350, Royal Enfield Hunter 350, and TVS Ronin.
A Modern Classic in the Making?
Despite no official word from Yamaha Motor India, the return of the RX 100 has rekindled excitement among bike lovers who still associate the name with performance, sound, and nostalgia.
If the company manages to bring back the bike with the same spirit and improved features, it could become one of the most awaited motorcycle launches in the next two years.
