2025 Yamaha R15 updates
The R15 continues to be the most popular sportsbike in its segment in India, with over 1 million units manufactured in the country. Its consistent appeal among young riders and performance enthusiasts highlights its position as the benchmark in the entry-level Supersport category.
With the introduction of these refreshed colours, Yamaha aims to enhance customer excitement during the festive season and further strengthen the R15’s reputation as the dream machine for many first-time sportsbike riders, while continuing to make it an aspirational choice that blends style, performance and value.
Powered by Yamaha’s advanced 155cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine, along with the DiASil cylinder and Deltabox frame, the R15 continues to set benchmarks in performance and handling.
The motorcycle delivers segment-leading performance along with advanced features such as Traction Control System, Assist and Slipper Clutch, Quick Shifter on select variants, Upside-Down Front Forks, and Linked-Type Monocross Suspension. With its track-inspired design and strong racing DNA, the R15 series remains one of the most aspirational and performance-driven motorcycles in India.
The Yamaha R15 competes with a number of motorcycles in the 150cc category, which include the Bajaj Pulsar RS200, the Suzuki Gixxer 250 SF, and the Keeway, amongst others. However, KTM has planned to launch an RC version of the new Duke 160 platform, which will be a direct rival to the Yamaha R15 range.
