Yamaha has officially launched its all-new M-Slaz Superbike, and it’s already making waves in the motorcycle world. Known for pushing boundaries in design and performance, Yamaha has now introduced a hybrid touch to their streetfighter series. The M-Slaz comes with a premium look, aggressive styling, and advanced hybrid technology — making it perfect for new-gen riders who demand both power and efficiency.
Whether you’re a city commuter or someone who loves weekend rides, the new Yamaha M-Slaz seems to tick all the right boxes. Let’s take a closer look at what this bike offers in detail.
Design & Style
The Yamaha M-Slaz grabs attention right from the first glance. It follows a naked streetfighter look, with sharp lines and muscular curves. The LED headlamp setup is sleek and aggressive, giving the bike a bold front profile. The fuel tank is sculpted, making it look bulkier and more powerful than previous models.
Yamaha has added split seats, giving the M-Slaz a sporty touch, and the rear design is quite minimal yet stylish with a high-raised tail. It also features alloy wheels, a digital instrument cluster, and bold color options like Matte Black, Racing Blue, and a special edition Neon Red.
The build quality feels premium, and Yamaha has ensured that the M-Slaz looks like a high-end bike despite being in the middleweight category.
Engine & Performance
One of the biggest highlights of the M-Slaz is its hybrid engine setup. It comes with a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine combined with mild hybrid technology. This setup helps in improving acceleration and overall efficiency.
The engine delivers around 18.5 HP at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm, which is quite powerful for city and highway rides. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and features an assist and slipper clutch for smoother gear shifting.
With hybrid support, the M-Slaz gets an extra push during acceleration, especially in stop-go traffic. The ride feels peppy and quick, without compromising on fuel consumption.
