when compared with all 125 cc bikes more powerful bike is YAMAHA GLADIATOR with 5 speed gearbox which allows the rider to make the most of a wide power band to experience excellent performance in both around-town and high-speed riding.

Yamaha Throttle Position Sensor (YTPS) that delivers stupendous standing acceleration.

FIrst 4 gears is for acceleration and Fifth for escalation in highway.

Evenly spaced gear ratio for comfortable riding in all environments.

Gladiator have tachometer where no other 125cc category dont have.

Excellent finishing with good looks.

Disc brake is a feature in gladiator and not an optional one like others do.

The Seat cover on the new gladiator has a new perforated material which Yamaha prefers to call as "Dimple Type".

Seat was so soft which makes cushion effect while riding.

The exhaust of the Type-SS has a newly designed end piece which Yamaha again likes to call as "Machine Gun Type" end piece. ( Just for cosmetic purpose)

The classy aluminium Die Cast footpegs of the Gladiator enhances the Sporty feel.

Both thefootpegs are retractable. The front footpegs have rubber inserts to damp vibrations.

Gladiator is better to handle when compared with other 125cc bikes with good performancetoo.

Gladiator engine is very smooth.

One of the finest refined gear box in its category.

Clutch of the Gladiator is to be the Lightest Clutch on any bike.

Sportiest bike in its class.

Suspension is too good.

*Minimal vibrations in any speed.

Mileage is between 55-60 Kmpl*

*I feel proud to own YAMAHA GLADIATOR.

Guys have a test ride of YAMAHA GLADIATOR, before going to buy any other 125cc bike. and the final decision is going to be yours.*

Instead of narrowwing down to stunner you can go for any other 150cc category with the same price of stunner with better power and features.
