Yamaha Mio i 125

A perfect balance of the ride is what makes any scooter in demand and Yamaha has kept this in focus while designing the frame, which is light, slim and gives easy to handle experience to the rider. The body has been shaped quite well with perfectly sculpted ends. At the front, the stylish headlamp along with the turn indicators give a commanding look. The high wheel guard further enhances the overall appeal of the scooter in an effective manner. The ‘MIO’ graphics don’t look much and blend well with the color combination. IN short, the design is funky and in-line with the taste of the Millenials. 

Coming to the equipment list, the instrument panel displays all the important information in a smart and clean manner. Though you don’t get a digital display, the analog panel is designed to highlight each detail in an effective manner. One of its highlights is the Eco indicator, that guides the rider to maintain the speed for the maximum fuel efficiency. The riding position is upright and optimal. The seat cushioning is something that we cannot complain about and provides adequate comfort to the rider and the pillion. Further, the M-shaped bar unit not just adds to the styling quo of the scooter, it has a very important utility aspect as well.

What makes Yamaha Mio i 125 a segment leader is not just its feature list but the smooth ride quality. Everything is designed to give an optimal ride quality. For the ignition, kick and electric start systems are available. Engine feedback is good and smooth. The telescopic front fork at the front and the swingarm at the rear makes a good setup for the smooth absorption of uneven roads. 

The combination of smooth delivery and potent suspension system is further backed by an optimal seat height of 750 mm, which gives a commanding position to the rider and boosts confidence while cornering. The kerb weight of around 92 kgs further adds to the refinement of the overall ride.

At the heart of the Mio i 125 is a 125cc single-cylinder engine that delivers a maximum power output of 9.5 PS at 8000 rpm and a peak torque of 9.5 Nm at 5500 rpm. This lively mill is further coupled to an automatic transmission and power is delivered through a V-Belt to the rear wheels. To check the optimum performance of the engine on long rides, an efficient air-cooling system is provided to keep the temperature in check. In addition, the fuel injection system makes for an improved fuel economy.

Braking duties are handled by a single disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear. The overall setup gives good stopping power but the rider might have to be cautious of timely braking at higher speeds. The 14-inch wheels with 80- and 90-sections tyres at the front and the rear respectively keeps the scooter firm and provide requisite stability.

Yamaha Mio i 125 really don’t give anything specific to complain about. Be it performance or features in-demand, this automatic scooter ticks all the boxes. Competing against the Honda Click 125i, the competitive pricing of Mio i 125 gives it an upper hand over its rival. However, if improved delivery figures is what you are looking for then Honda Click 125i might grab your attention. But if value for money is what you are looking for then Yamaha Mio i 125 may prove to be a choice of a wise.
