Owning a Gladiator Yamaha bike turned out to be a regrettable experience, fraught with disappointments and challenges. From the outset, the promise of reliability and performance was quickly overshadowed by persistent mechanical issues. The bike often suffered from frequent breakdowns, leaving me stranded in inconvenient locations and causing undue stress.One of the most frustrating aspects was the inconsistency in its performance. Despite regular maintenance and servicing, the bike continued to exhibit unreliability, failing at crucial moments. This unreliability not only affected my daily commute but also eroded my confidence in the bike's capabilities.Moreover, the customer service experience compounded my dissatisfaction. Dealing with service centres often proved to be an exercise in frustration, with delays in repairs and a lack of clear communication exacerbating the situation. It felt as though my concerns were not taken seriously, further diminishing my trust in the brand.Financially, the bike also proved to be a burden. The frequent repairs and maintenance costs added up significantly over time, far exceeding what I had anticipated when initially purchasing the bike. This financial strain, coupled with the emotional toll of constant breakdowns, made the ownership experience deeply unpleasant.In conclusion, my experience with the Gladiator Yamaha bike was marked by disappointment and frustration. The initial allure of owning a Yamaha bike was overshadowed by its persistent mechanical issues, poor performance reliability, and subpar customer service. This experience has not only soured my perception of the brand but has also taught me the importance of thorough research and consideration when making future purchasing decisions.

Great gladiator prod to be owner since 14 years
2 years ago
Dileep N
I bought this bike in 2008 and enjoyed the ride in this bike for long rides without any issues and with the least maintenance, I never faced an issue till now I am writing this review after usage of 14 years+ still I am using the bike since it was the old one getting spares is a bit challenging but anyways no major parts are required, as the consumables are readily available in the market. As per my knowledge, I didn't find any con's on this bike. Comfortable mileage looks and the best deal for the price. Yamaha is known for its reliable and efficient engines that will last longer than our lives. I don't have a plan to change this bike anymore ...

Genuine review - 45000 kms driven still - zero engine maintenance
6 years ago
Prashant Ingle
Buying experience - good as price is competitive and budget bike
Riding experience - its smooth and pick up good as compare to other 125 cc bike can be driven 110 max on flat road.
Details about looks, performance etc. - look is average, handling is good, controlling is good as well.
Servicing and maintenance - chain sprocket - worst , disk break front - need to change on every serving mostly it will be okay till 2000 kms.
Pros - engine , pickup and performance is good *125 cc.
Cons: chain sprocket , break front and rear, tappets noisy.

Yes! yamaha gladiator
6 years ago
Piyush Sahu
I am using my personal bike yamaha gladiator since last 7 years. As i experienced, yamaha gladiator gives a really good mileage. It is in between 55-65. The pick up and power is also good in its class. It is meant for Indian roads for daily use. It has good ground clearance, good shock ups, comfortable seating and very low/no maintenance cost. And after all the name of the brand yamaha.

Yamaha gladiator ss honest review after 5 years
7 years ago
Allan Robin
Used gladiator ss for 5 years. Best bike for daily travel. Very less maintenance and fuel economy is good too. Only downside is that spare parts are not easily available hence are a bit expensive.
The pick up is very good and it boasts of sporty looks unlike similar priced bikes in this range
Ride on the highway is super smooth. Even picks up speed very fast.
The ride position is good too. Would recommend yamaha to provide tubeless tyres and digital speedometer and tachometer.
After 5 years of riding it . I highly recommend this bike to anyone looking for daily commute to leisure travel. Highly recommended
