The FZ Blue Flex uses the familiar 149cc air-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine from the FZ-Rave, but produces 11.7 hp and 12.8 Nm. These figures are slightly lower than the standard FZ due to changes needed for higher ethanol use.
The bike comes with a 5-speed gearbox, telescopic front suspension, rear monoshock, and single-channel ABS.
