Yamaha 135 LC Super Sports - Features explained

Just like any other segment in the two-wheeler market, the moped segment has also witnessed a surge in demand and thus, competition. One of the key companies strongly rooted in the moped segment is Yamaha. Over the years, it developed various good mopeds that have left a mark behind. However, not as prominent and deep as the 135 LC. Today, its latest avatar or iteration available is called the Yamaha 135 LC Super Sports.

Considering the ever-growing popularity of the moped, Yamaha launched the 135 LC Super Sports in June 2019. Certain features and changed were added in it to make it different than the standard or usual variant. This was done essentially to attract more young customers and all of this was achieved keeping the cost in check. So, why don’t we have a look at the features that make the 135 LC Super Sports special than the others?

Air scoops

Yamaha added features to the 135 LC Super Sports that were capable enough to support the moped’s name. The principal objective of these new features was to make the moped look sportier than before. This is where the air scoops come in. Placed on either side, these air scoops are designed to not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the 135 LC Super Sports but also to improve its aerodynamic efficiency. They channel air in such a fashion that there’s the least amount of drag thus, improves the moped’s performance as well as mileage.

Cover horn

The horn in the 135 LC Super Sports is placed in such a place which could have spoiled the look of the moped if it wasn’t for the cover. This cover hides the horn perfectly and, surprisingly, makes the moped look sportier. Don’t worry, the sound of the horn isn’t affected by this cover.

Front cover under

 

The name of this feature might sound weird but its purpose is quite important. It is designed to give protection to the moped’s engine from stones, debris, and other unwanted objects found on the roads. Along with acting as a shield, the front cover under, just like the aforementioned features, enhances the moped’s sportiness.

Sporty exhaust

The side-slung exhaust of the 135 LC Super Sports has been carefully designed to match the rest of the moped. We like the silver end cap which adds a bit of contrast and make the moped look that much more attractive and sporty.

Alloy wheels

Completing the sporty look of the 135 LC Super Sports are the 5-spoke alloy wheels. These black wheels look amazing on the moped. They also help in reducing the moped’s overall weight.

Balanced engine

One of the key features that you will find in the Yamaha 135 LC Super Sports specs sheet would be its balanced engine. Balanced in the sense that it provides a great combination of peppy performance and good fuel economy. It is a 134 cc, single-cylinder engine which puts out 12 PS of max power at 8,500 rpm and 11.79 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm. It runs butter-smooth without any drama whatsoever.

Front disc brake

You might think that Yamaha 135 LC Super Sports wouldn’t go fast enough because of its low power and torque figures. Yes, it isn’t a superbike but when you bring its 105 kg dry weight into the picture, this thing moves pretty quickly! That’s why Yamaha has provided a front disc brake so that you have enough stopping power whenever you need it.

Brilliant handling

And it is not just the acceleration where the lightweight of the Yamaha 135 LC Super Sports works in its favour, it is also the handling. Riding this moped is a breeze. Most of the young buyers would find it very friendly and approachable. Apart from the weight, its compact dimensions also allow it to be ridden with ease. And when it comes to filtering through traffic-packed streets, this one is the king.
