Yamaha Lagenda 115Z - Reasons to buy

If we are talking about underbone motorcycles or mopeds, our conversion cannot be complete without mentioning the Yamaha Lagenda 115Z. It has been around for quite some time now and served many customers. Even today, it is considered to be one of the best mopeds available in the country, that too at a very affordable price point. In this story, we are going to point out the top reasons to buy the Lagenda 115Z.

Differently styled

Most of the products in this segment are more or less the same in terms of frame, construction, and some styling elements. However, the Lagenda 115Z is differently styled. It comes with a dual headlamp set up at the front which slightly looks alien-like and makes the moped stand out from its competitors. Moreover, its front fairing isn’t just designed to serve the aesthetic purposes but it also helps in channelling the air to the engine to keep it cool.

Another interesting element is the tail light. Yamaha has designed it in such a way that it appears to be an LED unit but in reality, it is not. It looks pretty great. And there is also a chrome muffler that adds to the overall style quotient. So, good job, Yamaha.

Efficient engine

Mopeds are basically utility vehicles, thus, are provided with engines that are both powerful and fuel-efficient. The Yamaha Lagenda 115Z specs have a 115 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC engine with fuel-injection and it produces 9.9 hp of max power at 7750 rpm and 9.9 Nm of peak torque at 6500 rpm. For the latest model, Yamaha redesigned the intake and exhaust system for optimal performance without compromising of fuel efficiency. The upgraded engine has recorded 20% more improvement when compared to the previous engine.

Large fuel tank

Yamaha has provided a 4.1-litres fuel tank on the Lagenda 115Z. This means that you do not need to worry about refilling every now and then as the moped provides good fuel efficiency.

Large under-seat storage

There is a sufficient amount of storage space available under the seat which really comes in handy to keep some of your personal stuff while riding. It almost eliminates the need for carrying a large backpack.

Good braking performance

Unlike most of the other mopeds available in this segment which comes with drum brakes on both the wheels, the Lagenda 115Z is equipped with a single-piston disc brake at the front and a leading-trailing drum brake on the rear. Having a disc brake certainly improves the braking performance of the vehicle. Since there is only a single Yamaha Lagenda 115Z variant available in Malaysia, you get the disc brake as standard.

Easy to ride

One of the best things about underbone motorcycles or mopeds is that they are very easy to ride and the Lagenda 115Z is no exception. It has a weight of 101 kg and a saddle height of 765 mm. This makes it very friendly and approachable even by shorter riders. Riding it around is simply a breeze, especially in heavy city traffic. The lightweight and compact dimensions also allow it to filter through the traffic and be taken almost anywhere.

Affordable price

Just like any other segment in the Malaysian two-wheeler market, the underbone segment too has also become very crowded. This means that there are a number of products available at various prices providing different features and offers. However, not everyone wants to buy a relatively expensive moped. The Yamaha Lagenda 115Z price of just RM 5,362 makes it one of the most affordable mopeds in the country that comes with all the basic features that a moped should have.

These were some of the top reasons to buy the Lagenda 115Z. If you are looking for an affordable yet capable underbone motorcycle, then you should definitely give the Lagenda 115Z a look. It is most likely that your search for a new moped would end there. Available in only a single variant, the Lagenda 115Z comes in three colour options.
