Real Roads. Real Riders. Remarkable Mileage.

The Mileage Challenge delivers outstanding real-world results in Batticaloa 

Riding Smarter. Going Further. 

The Mileage Challenge is Yamaha’s ongoing rider engagement initiative created to demonstrate how intelligent riding habits, combined with advanced Yamaha engineering, can unlock exceptional fuel efficiency in real-world conditions. Rather than relying on controlled testing environments, the Mileage Challenge places the focus where it truly matters, on everyday roads, with everyday riders. 

By educating riders on practical, fuel-efficient riding techniques and allowing them to experience the results firsthand, Yamaha continues to reinforce its commitment to innovation, performance, and rider empowerment. Each challenge stop brings together the Yamaha riding community to learn, ride, and achieve more from every litre of fuel. 

Mileage Challenge – Batticaloa 

The coastal city of Batticaloa became the latest destination for the Ray ZR 125 Mileage Challenge, welcoming enthusiastic Ray ZR 125 riders for a structured and insightful riding experience. 

The event began with a detailed briefing session led by Yamaha representatives, designed to equip participants with essential knowledge before they took to the road. This session focused on the fundamentals of fuel-efficient riding, helping riders understand how small adjustments in riding behaviour can make a significant difference in overall mileage. 

Key areas covered during the briefing included: 

• • Adopting fuel-efficient riding techniques for daily use 
• • Correct and smooth throttle control to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption 
• • Maintaining optimal speeds for improved efficiency 
• • Practicing safe and responsible riding habits in real traffic conditions 

 

This knowledge-sharing approach reflects Yamaha’s belief that performance is not only about the machine, but also about the rider’s understanding and control. 

 

Real-World Riding, Real Results 

Following the briefing, participants embarked on a guided rally through Batticaloa, riding under normal road and traffic conditions. Fuel consumption was closely monitored to ensure accurate, real-world results that riders could trust and relate to their everyday journeys. 

The outcomes once again highlighted the impressive efficiency potential of the Ray ZR 125. 

 

Batticaloa Mileage Results 

The results achieved during the Batticaloa Mileage Challenge clearly demonstrated what is possible when smart riding habits meet Yamaha engineering excellence. 

Best fuel consumption recorded
106.98 kilometers per liter 

Event average mileage
Over 85 kilometers per liter 

Standard rated average

These figures significantly exceeded standard expectations and reinforced the Ray ZR 125’s reputation as a scooter that delivers outstanding efficiency without compromising performance, comfort, or ride quality. 

Smart Riding Makes the Difference 

One of the strongest takeaways from the Batticaloa event was a simple but powerful message: how you ride plays a major role in how far you go. With the right techniques, riders can maximize fuel efficiency while still enjoying a smooth, responsive, and confident riding experience. 

The Mileage Challenge continues to prove that everyday riders can achieve remarkable results by applying practical riding knowledge consistently. It is this blend of rider education and product capability that sets the Ray ZR 125 apart in real-world usage. 

 

Building a Stronger Riding Community 

Beyond the numbers, the  Mileage Challenge serves as a platform for community building. Each event brings riders together to share experiences, learn from experts, and grow responsible for road users. Yamaha’s focus on safety, education, and rider engagement ensures that these challenges deliver value well beyond mileage figures alone. 

By empowering riders with knowledge and encouraging smarter riding habits, Yamaha continues to support a more efficient, confident, and connected riding community across the country.
