Q.Auto Expo 2016: Yamaha Unveils Cygnus Ray-ZR

Yamaha unveiled its male-centric scooter, the Cygnus Ray ZR at the Auto Expo today. The scooter follows a design language that is similar to Honda’s Dio. The Ray ZR looks like a bolder, more masculine version of Ray Z. The scooter is targeted at college boys who are looking for a stylish scooter without the ‘girlish’ tag that many scooters come attached with.

The scooter comes with both disc and drum variants. The analogue instrument cluster looks neat and legible albeit a bit blocky. Overall, the quality of switchgear is pretty standard. The scooter offers a comfortable seating position and the only thing that interrupts the design flow of the handlebars are the two screws which sticks out like a sore thumb. With numerous creases, the scooter sure looks aggressive but it comes with one practical inconvenience: dust accumulation at the creases. Speaking of practicality, there is also a small storage area at the apron for knick-knacks and the boot capacity stands at 21 litres. The pricing and mileage figures are yet to be revealed.
