On the visual front, new colour options for the Street Rally variant have been introduced while keeping the bodywork untouched.

The 2023 model of the Ray ZR 125 Street Rally Fi Hybrid trim will now be available in two new colours including Matte Black and Light Grey Vermillion. Also, the older Matte Copper paint scheme has been retained in its colour palette. The standard Ray ZR 125, meanwhile, continues to be available in Metallic Black, Cyan Blue, and Matte Red. However, these have been bestowed with a new set of decals which make them look fresh.

Yamaha hasn’t made any changes to the overall design of the scooter and that’s justified considering it looks quite contemporary in its existing avatar. It’s adorned with a wide front apron sporting faux air intakes and dual-tone finishing. The handlebar cowl is fitted with a tiny fly screen which is flanked by knuckle guards (in the Street Rally trim). Moreover, the edgy rear section makes the scooter visually proportionate. 

Now, the most noteworthy feature of the Ray ZR 125 is its Bluetooth compatibility. The digital console of the scooter connects with the Y-Connect smartphone application in which one can see fuel consumption, maintenance recommendations, last parking location, malfunction notification, revs dashboard, and rider ranking. Other features include an automatic start-stop function, a side stand engine cut-off, and a combined braking system.
