Yamaha launches R15M with carbon fibre pattern and advanced features
The Yamaha R15M, featuring a 155cc liquid-cooled engine, Carbon Fibre Pattern, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Quick Shifter, and Bluetooth connectivity, delivers a premium SuperSport riding experience with Yamaha’s signature Racing DNA.
India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has unveiled the latest version of the R15M, now featuring a striking Carbon Fibre Pattern graphic that embodies the essence of premium Japanese motorcycle design and engineering. Powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled engine inspired by the iconic Yamaha R1, the R15M is crafted to deliver a SuperSport experience, aligned with Yamaha’s “The Call of the Blue” brand campaign.
The Carbon Fibre Pattern, influenced by the legendary R1M’s carbon bodywork, has been applied using advanced water-dipping technology for a flawless finish. This pattern enhances the bike’s aesthetics on the front cowl, side fairings, and rear side panels. Complementing the carbon fibre look, the R15M also boasts an all-black fender, new decals on the tank and fairings, and blue wheels at both ends, completing its race-inspired design.
Among the significant updates, the R15M now includes a Turn-by-Turn Navigation system for easy navigation, along with music and volume control, accessible via the Y-Connect app available on Android and iOS platforms. Riders can easily connect their smartphones to the bike by downloading and installing the app. Additionally, the model features upgraded switchgear and a new LED license plate light for added convenience.
Speaking on the launch, Eishin Chihana, Chairman of Yamaha Motor India Group of Companies, said, “Yamaha motorcycles are known for their thrilling performance, agility, and sporty design. Since its 2008 debut, the R15 has set the benchmark for performance and allowed numerous Indian consumers to experience the joy of riding a SuperSport motorcycle with Yamaha’s Racing DNA. The R15M raises the bar with its powerful engine, innovative features, and race-inspired design, continuing to delight our premium motorcycling customers.”
The R15M is powered by a Fuel-injected 155cc engine, delivering a maximum torque of 14.2 Nm @ 7,500 rpm and a maximum power output of 13.5 kW @ 10,000 rpm. It also features advanced technologies such as a Traction Control System to reduce wheel spin, a Quick Shifter for seamless gear shifts without clutch input, and an Assist and Slipper Clutch to prevent excessive engine braking during downshifts.
Yamaha’s unique Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system optimizes power and torque across the RPM range, with one intake valve cam for low to mid-range revs and another kicking in at 7,400 rpm for higher revs. The R15M also boasts a fully digital color TFT display and Bluetooth connectivity, further enhancing its sporty appeal and ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride.
The R15M with the Carbon Fibre Pattern is priced at Rs 2,08,300 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is available at Yamaha Blue Square Showrooms nationwide. The upgraded R15M in Metallic Grey is priced at Rs 1,98,300 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and can be purchased from all Yamaha dealerships.
