Yamaha R15 and R15M Powertrain
The R15 and R15M, Yamaha’s flagship sportbikes in the small-capacity segment, continue to lead the market with their cutting-edge features. Both models are powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, delivering an impressive 18.4hp at 10,000rpm and 14.2Nm of torque at 7,500rpm. These bikes are equipped with advanced features such as a slipper clutch, traction control, and a quickshifter, making them the most feature-rich motorcycles in their class.
Yamaha R15 and R15M New Colours
In terms of design, the R15 and R15M are almost identical, with the primary differences being cosmetic. The new color options—Tech Black, Icon Blue, and Aggressive Grey for the R15, and the Icon Performance for the R15M—offer riders more choices to match their style. With a seat height of 815mm, a ground clearance of 170mm, and a kerb weight of 141kg, these bikes are designed for both performance and comfort. The 11-litre fuel tank ensures that riders can enjoy longer rides without frequent refueling stops.
