Yamaha R15: When it comes to entry level sports bikes, the Yamaha R15 has always held a special place in the hearts of young riders and enthusiasts. Sleek, sharp, and performance packed, it has set benchmarks in its segment for years. Now, for 2025, Yamaha has refreshed its R15 range in India with striking new colours, premium finishes, and the same thrilling performance that has made the bike an icon on Indian roads.
A Splash of Style: New Colours for 2025
Yamaha has taken the visual appeal of the R15 series a notch higher. The flagship Yamaha R15M now comes in a premium Metallic Grey shade that adds a bold and elegant character to its design. The R15 V4, which continues to be a popular choice, is now available in Metallic Black, Racing Blue, and Matte Pearl White, giving riders plenty of stylish options to match their personality. Meanwhile, the R15S takes on a darker and stealthier look with Matte Black paint, highlighted beautifully by striking vermillion wheels.
Same Engine, Same Thrill
Under the skin, Yamaha has chosen to stick with the tried-and-tested motor. The R15 V4 continues to draw power from its 155cc liquid cooled engine, mated to a six-speed gearbox. This single cylinder engine is capable of producing 18.1 bhp and 14.2 Nm of torque. Nestled in the legendary Deltabox frame, the motor ensures razor-sharp handling and confidence inspiring stability traits the R15 has always been admired for.
Loaded With Features
The R15 isn’t just about looks and speed; Yamaha has equipped it with features that truly enhance the riding experience. Riders get a traction control system, assist and slipper clutch, and even a quickshifter in select variants, ensuring smooth shifts and better control. Modern touches like all LED lighting add to the bike’s premium feel. On the suspension front, the R15 offers upside down front forks and a linked type monoshock at the rear, striking a fine balance between comfort and sportiness.
Price Tag and Variants
The 2025 Yamaha R15 lineup has been priced strategically to cater to different kinds of riders. The R15S comes in at Rs1.68 lakh, offering the thrill of the R15 legacy at an affordable price point. The standard R15 V4 is priced at Rs1.85 lakh, while the flagship R15M, with its premium design and features, sits at the top of the range at Rs2.01 lakh (all prices ex showroom, Delhi).
Final Thoughts
The refreshed 2025 Yamaha R15 range doesn’t tinker much with the successful formula but adds enough style and flair to keep the excitement alive. With new colours, feature-rich offerings, and prices that make it accessible to a wide audience, the R15 continues to be the go-to choice for riders looking for performance, style, and reliability in one thrilling package.
