Yamaha has been receiving an overwhelming response for its mid-sized segment sportbikes R15 and the R15M overseas. To attract more customers, the company has launched new colour options on these models in the international market.
The hot-selling product R15 is now available in Tech Black, Aggressive Grey, and Icon Blue, while R15M has received another option called Icon Performance. It has been reported that these latest shades are likely to arrive in India very soon. However, the brand did not release any official details about the same as yet.
Engine and Power
The company did not change anything mechanically. It means the model continues to feature a robust 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It generates a maximum power of 18.14 bhp at 10,000rpm and 14.2Nm of peak torque at 7,500rpm.
Nothing Changed Mechanically
When it comes to the top elements, both R15 and R15M have been treated with cutting-edge technology and advanced features. They come with an impressive LED headlight setup, paired with sleek indicators at both ends. There is a decent-sized transparent visor at the front, which offers extra protection to the fully digital instrument cluster.
Braking and Suspension Setup
These mid-sized sportbikes are equipped with single-disc brakes at both ends, and get dual-channel ABS. On the suspension front, the company has added an upside-down fork at the front, while the rear has been treated with shock observer sprint.
Other Highlights
Both models come with a decent seat height of 815mm, featuring a ground clearance of 170mm. The kerb weight of the bike is 141kg, and offers 11 litres of fuel tank.
