This is the second price hike for R15 within one month. However, Yamaha has dropped the recently introduced Red color model from the price hike move.
Like the FZ range, there are no mechanical or features changes to justify the price hike move. Some notable features of the bike include a twin LED headlamp and tail lamp, dual horn, a side stand engine cut-off switch, and a multi-function full-LCD instrument cluster with gear position indicator, fuel consumption indicator, and shift timing light.
Powering the bike is a 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) that makes out class-leading 18.6PS of power at 10,000rpm and 14.1Nm of torque at 8,500rpm. It comes with a 6-speed gearbox with an assist & slipper (A&S) clutch.
