• Out of nowhere, Gladiator has got a sibling! In a desperate attempt to capture market volumes, Yamaha is trying all permutation and combinations to somehow create a mark in the ever burgeoning Indian two wheeler market.

• And in the same bid, here comes another silent offering, the SS125 from their stables.

• They already have Gladiator Type SS and Type RS in this segment and SS125 forms the third model in this segment from Yamaha.

• In fact Yamaha is trying to play a Hero Honda by flooding each segment with plethora of options.

• They have 4 models with the same 106cc engine in 100cc segment, 3 models with the 124cc engine in 125cc segment, 3 models with the 153cc engine in 150cc segment and then there is the 150cc engineering marvel, R15 as the flagship product.

• SS125 is basically another version of Gladiator which is very slightly stripped down to cater to the more commuter mindset gentry.

• The bike sports the same 4 stroke, air cooled 124cc engine which is capable of producing 11PS of peak power at 7500rpm and 10.4Nm of max torque which comes at 6500 rpm.

• Though, Yamaha dealers in Pune informed us that after this launch, Gladiator would be discontinued, however we remain a little skeptical about the same.

• Nonetheless, we would keep you updated if there is such a step from Yamaha.
