The Yamaha Factor DX debuted in Brazil on May 5, 2026, showcasing a notable advancement in sustainable transportation. This new model can operate on 100% ethanol or petrol, aligning with global trends towards eco-friendly fuel options.
Previously, the Brazilian motorcycle market primarily focused on traditional fuel types. The introduction of flex fuel technology in models like the Factor DX signifies a shift towards more sustainable choices for consumers.
The Factor DX is priced at BRL 18,990 and builds upon the standard Factor 150. It features enhancements such as USB charging ports and a main stand, appealing to the commuter segment.
Key specifications include:
- A 149cc single-cylinder engine producing 11.8 bhp with petrol and 12 bhp with ethanol.
- A kerb weight of 133 kg and a fuel tank capacity of 15.4 liters.
- A seat height of 785 mm and minimum ground clearance of 170 mm.
In addition to performance metrics, the Factor DX incorporates modern aesthetics with LED DRLs and revised graphics. It is available in three colors: Titanium Grey, Racing Blue, and Midnight Black.
The motorcycle also features an advanced fully digital LCD cluster and robust alloy wheels, making it suitable for urban commuting. Front disc brakes enhance safety while rear drum brakes provide reliability.
Experts suggest that this launch may influence other manufacturers in the Brazilian motorcycle market to adopt similar technologies. However, uncertainties remain regarding whether Yamaha will introduce the Factor DX to other markets like India.
