All three variants of Yamaha R15 V4.0 powered by the 155cc liquid-cooled VVA-equipped motor that churns out 18.4PS at 10,000rpm and 14.2Nm at 7500rpm. That's 0.25PS less than the R15 V3. It doesn't have any direct opponent in the Indian market. However, as per its pricing, the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 (Rs 1.62 lakh), KTM RC 125 (Rs 1.80 lakh) and Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 (Rs 1.83 – 1.84 lakh) could be seen as its close competitors in the entry-level sports bike segment.
