Yamaha R15, R15M to be launched in local market
Autocar India, 19 Aug '24
Yamaha has recently introduced updates to its popular small-capacity sport bikes, the R15 and the R15M, for 2025 in Indonesia.
While the bikes are the same as the version available in India, Yamaha has introduced new colours for them in Indonesia, and these shades could also make their way to India.
Details
Yamaha has unveiled four new colours: tech black, icon blue and aggressive grey for the R15 and Icon Performance for the R15M. Yamaha has not made any mechanical changes to these motorcycles or added any new features, especially considering how well-equipped they already are.
The R15 and R15M and R15M are the most feature-rich bikes in their segment, with slipper clutch, traction control and quick shifter among standard equipment.
Both motorcycles are powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with a peak output of 18.6 PS at 10,000rpm and 14.2 Nm at 7,500rpm. Braking is managed by a single disc at both ends, along with dual-channel ABS.
The bikes have a seat height of 815mm and a ground clearance of 170mm. The kerb weight is 141kg, and the fuel tank capacity is 11 litres.
R15 and R15M are more or less the same bike but with cosmetic differences. Their price in India starts at Rs. 185,000 (US$ 2,205) for the R15 and goes up to Rs. 200,000 for the R15M (ex-showroom, Delhi).
