New Yamaha R15: Many new bikes keep coming into the Indian two-wheeler market from time to time, but there are some bikes that not only set the trend but also leave a deep impression on the hearts of the people. Yamaha’s R15 is one such bike, which has remained the first choice of the youth for years. Now the new avatar of this bike has come on the market and it has become more attractive, powerful and advanced than ever. The special thing is that while earlier this bike was considered only the choice of boys, now it is becoming increasingly popular among girls as well.
Attractive design that everyone likes at first sight
The new design of the Yamaha R15 has been specially designed keeping in mind the taste of the young generation. Its front profile is very sharp, which gives it a superbike-like look. It has a single projector headlight and LED DRLs, which not only make riding safe at night but also enhance the styling of the bike. The muscular lines on the fuel tank give it a muscular appeal and its fairing is aerodynamically designed from the side, which provides stability at high speeds.
Its four attractive colour options—Racing Blue, Metallic Red, Dark Knight and Intense Black—suit every type of personality. This bike has now become a symbol of style, which both young boys and girls like to flaunt on social media.
Great mileage with a powerful engine—the best of both worlds.
The Yamaha R15 is equipped with a 155cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve engine in which VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) technology has been used. This technology balances the power delivery in both low and high rpm.
- Max Power: 18.4 PS @ 10,000 RPM
- Max Torque: 14.2 Nm @ 7,500 RPM
- Gearbox: 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch
- Top Speed: Around 140 km/h
- Mileage: 50 to 55 km/l (depending on riding conditions)
While other sports bikes usually lag behind in mileage, the R15 has broken this myth. This bike gives great mileage along with sporty performance, making it an all-rounder option.
Riding Experience—Perfect for both city and highway
If you have ever driven the Yamaha R15, then you would know how great its riding quality is. It has upside-down telescopic forks in the front and monoshock suspension at the rear, which gives a smooth riding experience on every type of road. The dual-channel ABS braking system gives you complete control even in case of sudden braking.
The seating position of the R15 is a bit sporty, which gives you the feel of a performance bike. Its stability and precise steering during highway rides make it a true racing machine. At the same time, its lightweight body and smooth gear shifting make it easy to drive in traffic in the city.
Technology and safety—ahead in both
Yamaha has included many such advanced features in the R15, which are not found with such perfection in any other bike of this segment:
- Digital instrument cluster: Many information like gear position, trip meter, fuel gauge, clock, and RPM limiter indicator on one screen
- Y-Connect App: Through this app, you can see many data of the bike on mobile, such as riding history, call alerts, battery status, etc.
- Side stand engine cut-off: If the side stand is engaged, the bike will not start—an excellent safety feature.
- Slipper clutch: which controls the back torque during downshifting and gives smooth gear shifting
- Dual-channel ABS: Makes braking safer and more responsive.
With these features, the Yamaha R15 has become not just a stylish bike but a technological masterpiece.
Increasing popularity among girls—a new trend
Now times have changed. Today’s girls don’t want to be limited to just scooties. They are also conscious about power, style and speed. The Yamaha R15 weighs around 142 kg, which makes it manageable even for girls.
Akanksha Singh from Lucknow says:
“At first I thought it was a bike only for boys, but when I tried it once, I realised its light weight and balance. Now I travel from my office every weekend on this bike. People stop to look and praise me.”
Price and EMI options—within the reach of youth
