The update to the Yamaha Crosser comes at a time when Bajaj is preparing to launch its first adventure motorcycle in Brazil. Bajaj’s upcoming ADV has already reached Brazil, and the company is working on parts development and homologation-related work there.
This could lead to an interesting competition between the Yamaha Crosser and Bajaj ADV in the future.

2027 Yamaha Crosser: What’s new?
The most noticeable update to the 2027 Yamaha Crosser is its full LED lighting setup.
The outgoing model already featured LED projector headlamps and LED DRLs. Now, Yamaha has added front and rear LED turn indicators, along with an LED tail lamp.
In addition, Bluetooth connectivity has also been introduced to the motorcycle, which works through the Yamaha Motor On app.
After pairing a smartphone, riders can access information such as average fuel efficiency, route history, maintenance schedule, and last paired location.
The digital instrument console can also display the smartphone battery level, along with call and message notifications from the connected phone.
A gear-position indicator, tachometer, and ECO function are also available on the console.
Side-Stand Safety Feature Added
Yamaha has also updated the safety equipment on the 2027 Crosser.
The motorcycle now features a side-stand engine cut-off switch. Its purpose is to prevent the engine from operating when the side stand is deployed.
With this update, the Crosser’s focus on both everyday usability and safety has become stronger.
Yamaha Crosser S vs Crosser Z
The Yamaha Crosser is offered in S and Z variants in Brazil. The mechanical package of both versions is largely the same, while the main differences relate to styling and finish.
Crosser S
The Crosser S features a conventional front fender with a smaller raised fender setup.
The engine and rear swingarm in this variant receive a matte black finish.
Color options:
- Black Eclipse
- Fire Red
Crosser Z
The Crosser Z has a comparatively more rugged look. It features a prominent raised front fender, which gives the motorcycle a stronger off-road appearance.
The engine in this version receives a silver finish.
Color options:
- Pure Grey
- Fire Red
2027 Yamaha Crosser Price
The pricing of the updated Yamaha Crosser in Brazil is as follows:
| Variant | Price in Brazil | Approx. INR |
|---|---|---|
| Crosser S ABS Connected | BRL 22,890 | Rs 4.27 lakh |
| Crosser Z ABS Connected | BRL 23,090 | Rs 4.30 lakh |
Indian rupee conversion is approximate and may vary depending on the exchange rate.
149cc Flex-Fuel Engine Remains Unchanged
No major changes have been made to the mechanical package of the 2027 Yamaha Crosser.
The motorcycle continues to feature the same 149cc air-cooled flex-fuel engine, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
The engine produces 11.4 hp on gasoline, while output reaches 11.7 hp using ethanol fuel.
Peak torque is 12.75 Nm with both fuels
In Yamaha’s tests replicating urban riding conditions, the Crosser achieved a fuel efficiency of 43.1 km/l.
The motorcycle features a 12-liter fuel tank. Claimed test efficiency suggests a theoretical riding range of over 500 km.
Real-world range will vary depending on riding conditions, traffic, and riding style.
19-Inch Front Wheel and ABS
Maintaining the adventure-oriented setup, the Yamaha Crosser features 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels.
Tire sizes:
- Front: 90/90
- Rear: 110/90
Suspension setup includes telescopic forks at the front and a linkage-type Monocross system at the rear.
Braking duties are handled by a 245 mm disc at the front and a 203 mm disc at the rear. ABS is available with both wheel setups.
Bajaj’s New ADV Could Compete
The most interesting development for the Yamaha Crosser in Brazil could be Bajaj’s upcoming adventure motorcycle.
Bajaj Brazil Executive Director Waldyr Ferreira recently indicated that customers interested in on-road/off-road Bajaj motorcycles could receive a “big Christmas present” before the end of 2026.
According to Ferreira, units of the upcoming ADV are already in Brazil. The company’s teams in Manaus are working on parts development and homologation.
Brazil is one of the motorcycle’s priority markets, but Bajaj has not yet confirmed that its global debut will be in Brazil.
The Bajaj ADV could feature a 250cc engine
Bajaj’s upcoming ADV has been spotted testing multiple times in India.
Test motorcycles have been spotted with some interesting adventure-bike features, including:
- Front beak
- Wire-spoke wheels
- High-mounted exhaust
- 19-inch front wheel
- 17-inch rear wheel
But Bajaj has not yet officially announced a production name or engine specifications.
The company has trademarked the Trekker name, while a Pulsar N250-derived 250cc engine is considered a possible option.
Therefore, the 250cc engine cannot yet be considered a confirmed specification.

Will the Bajaj ADV be a direct rival to the Yamaha Crosser?
This comparison will become clearer after launch.
The Yamaha Crosser comes with a relatively compact 149cc engine, while Bajaj’s upcoming ADV, if launched with a 250cc engine, could be positioned in a higher segment in terms of performance.
Thus, both motorcycles could compete on the basis of adventure styling and on-road/off-road capability, but a direct engine-to-engine rivalry will not necessarily occur.
Pricing and final positioning will also play a major role in defining this competition.
There’s also an India Connection
The Yamaha Crosser’s India connection is also interesting.
Yamaha has explored the possibility of introducing the Crosser to the Indian market in the past. However, no recent confirmation regarding an India launch is available.
On the other hand, Bajaj’s upcoming ADV has already been spotted testing on Indian roads and is expected to be launched in India as well.
If both motorcycles eventually arrive in India, competition in the compact adventure motorcycle segment could become even more interesting.

Auto India Daily Verdict
The 2027 Yamaha Crosser isn’t an all-new motorcycle, but Yamaha has refreshed the existing package with meaningful updates. Additions like full LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity, Yamaha Motor On app integration, and side-stand engine cut-off make it modern and practical.
Its timing in Brazil is also interesting, as Bajaj is preparing to enter the upcoming ADV market.
However, the Yamaha Crosser’s 149cc engine and the Bajaj ADV’s expected higher-capacity powertrain could place the two in different performance brackets. Therefore, it will only become clear once Bajaj’s final engine capacity, pricing, and positioning are revealed whether it will truly become a direct rival to the Crosser.
Currently, Yamaha has updated the Crosser with a proven dual-sport platform and modern features, while Bajaj’s entry could make Brazil’s adventure-bike segment more competitive.
