Key Differences Explained
What really sets these two bikes apart
Engine & Performance
Both bikes use an identical 149cc air-cooled engine producing 12.4 PS @ 7250 rpm and 13.3 Nm @ 5500 rpm, with the same 5-speed gearbox, 9.6:1 compression ratio and 57.3 × 57.9 mm bore-stroke. Traction control is standard on both. Performance-wise, these two motorcycles are essentially the same machine — there is no power or torque difference whatsoever.
Mileage Certification
This is the most meaningful technical difference. The FZ-S Fi V4 carries an ARAI-certified 60 km/l — a government-tested and verified figure. The FZ-S Fi's 60 km/l is only a manufacturer's claim with no independent certification. In practice, both bikes deliver similar real-world mileage (45–50 km/l), but the V4's certified figure gives buyers greater confidence for ownership planning and resale.
Brakes, Suspension & Safety
Both bikes share identical braking hardware: 282 mm front disc, 220 mm rear disc with single-channel ABS and traction control. Suspension setups are also virtually identical — telescopic front forks and a 7-step adjustable rear monoshock. The FZ-S Fi V4 is 1 kg lighter (136 vs 137 kg), but this is imperceptible in riding. Safety hardware between the two is a complete draw.
Connectivity & Features
The FZ-S Fi includes Bluetooth, call and SMS alerts on its single standard variant. The FZ-S Fi V4 splits this across two variants: the Standard at ₹1,20,409 has no Bluetooth, while the Deluxe at ₹1,20,866 adds it. Both bikes share the same digital LCD console, LED lighting, DRLs, hazard lights, gear indicator and distance-to-empty. The FZ-S Fi adds a Silent Start system absent on the V4.
Variants & Colour Choices
The FZ-S Fi offers one variant with four colour options. The FZ-S Fi V4 comes in two variants with a total of 8 colour choices — 2 on the Standard and 6 on the Deluxe, including exclusive shades like Cyber Green, Majesty Red, Racing Blue and Ice Fluo-Vermillion. For buyers who want more personalisation, the V4 offers significantly more freedom.
Price & Value
The FZ-S Fi V4 is ₹4,591 cheaper than the FZ-S Fi at base level (₹1,20,409 vs ₹1,25,000) and its fully loaded Deluxe variant at ₹1,20,866 still costs ₹4,134 less than the FZ-S Fi — while offering identical performance, the same safety tech and an ARAI-certified mileage figure. For almost any buyer, the V4 Deluxe offers a better deal than the FZ-S Fi. The FZ-S Fi only wins if Silent Start or the simplicity of a single variant matters to you.

Overall Winner: Yamaha FZ-S Fi V4. Both bikes are mechanically identical in every way that matters — same engine, same brakes, same traction control, same suspension, same dimensions. The FZ-S Fi V4 wins simply because it offers all of this at ₹4,591 less, with ARAI-certified mileage instead of a claimed figure, more colour choices and a choice of two variants. The FZ-S Fi V4 Deluxe at ₹1,20,866 with Bluetooth is the strongest recommendation — it matches the FZ-S Fi spec-for-spec at ₹4,134 less.
