Latest Updates
Tuesday, 12 September 2023 08:34 AM

Yamaha has given the R15S its biggest update yet and it comes powered with the R15 V4's engine.

Saturday, 31 August 2024 01:07 AM The Yamaha R15S V3 has been updated with a new unibody seat, making it more comfortable for riders. This change is a significant improvement over the split seats of the previous R15 V3, although the difference is marginal. The bike still retains its sporty handling and aggressive design. I think this update makes the R15S V3 a more practical option for daily riding.
Tuesday, 04 June 2024 10:28 AM Yamaha has kept the R15S V3 as a more affordable and practical variant of the R15 series, with features like a standard rear radial tyre and optional grippy Metzelers. However, the fit and finish levels could be improved, and the LED headlight is not as bright as expected. I believe these minor drawbacks dont overshadow the bikes overall value.
Tuesday, 04 June 2024 08:09 PM The R15S continues to be a tough competitor in the 150-160cc segment, with its sporty bodywork and committed riding posture. Despite being on the market for over seven years, the third-generation R15 V3, now known as the R15S V3, still looks fresh and sporty. I think its enduring design is a testament to Yamahas design prowess.
Friday, 07 April 2023 10:12 AM Yamaha has introduced a new LCD console for the R15S, which is more data-intensive and includes features like average fuel economy and average speed. This console is also Bluetooth-enabled, connecting with the riders smartphone via the Y-Connect application to display phone notifications. I believe this tech upgrade enhances the overall riding experience.
Friday, 07 April 2023 03:06 PM The Yamaha R15S is priced at Rs 1.66 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it a more affordable option compared to the R15 V4. It retains the same 155cc single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) and a six-speed gearbox. I think the pricing makes it an attractive choice for those looking for a sporty yet practical bike.

Yamaha R15S Review

18 Apr, 2023 07:06 AM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

India Yamaha Motor has expanded its lineup with the introduction of the new YZF R15S in our market. Instead of the split-style unit found on the YZF R15 V4.0, this new model has a single-piece step-up seat. The motorcycle is available in two colors: Racing Blue and Matte Black.

The design elements of the new R15S are largely inspired by its elder sibling, the R1. It has all-new LED headlights and an aerodynamic front cowl with an air vent up front. The large windscreen and stylish rear-view mirrors add to the sports bike's bold appearance. It also gets a new front fairing with sharp cuts and creases that blends with the muscularly designed fuel tank. The fuel tank also has knee recesses to make it easier to place your knees while riding. The black-coloured side panels add to the R15S’ style statement and look quite appealing. With a sleek LED tail light and tapered rear cowl, the tail end looks sharp and edgy. It also gets a new black tyre cover that closely fits the rear tyre. The motorcycle has a new exhaust with a faux carbon fibre finish.

An updated 155cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, SOHC engine powers the Yamaha R15S. With a 6-speed gearbox, this engine produces a max power of 18.6 HP at 10,000 rpm and a peak torque of 14.1 Nm at 8,500 rpm. Variable Valve Action (VVA) is also included in the latest Yamaha R15S. It improves the engine's efficiency by adding flexibility to the valve train.

Yamaha claims it has a top speed of 144 km/h and a fuel economy of 40 km/l. Another difference is that the new R15S now has a slipper clutch. It improves rear wheel stability, especially during aggressive downshifting.

The delta box frame serves as the foundation for the R15S. The suspension consists of standard telescopic forks up front and a mono-shock at the rear. Yamaha has equipped the R15S with 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The tyres are now wider than the previous version, measuring 100/80 in the front and 140/70 in the rear, with the latter being a radial. A 282mm disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear handle braking duties. This braking system is linked to a dual-channel ABS system. It helps the Yamaha R15S stop in a short distance even at triple-digit speeds.

The feature list on the Yamaha R15S includes a multi-function LCD instrument cluster with a gear-shift & VVA indicator. A side stand indicator with engine cut-off function, and a connector for USB charging.

My Journey with R15 V3

amardeep singh | 3 years ago

It was the year 2018, My Bajaj Pulsar had completed 15 years, so I was looking on the net for a new bike. When I saw it for the first time, an arrow of love went across my heart, although it had some shortcomings, in spite of this, I bought it and thought whatever will happen will be seen, the only drawback was only the headlight and riding position. Today is the month of 2021 September and today I am claiming that there is no match for it. I have taken it on the hills, on the highways, and on the rough village roads, but its performance is amazing, although the riding position is so aggressive that it hurts in the back but the performance is such that this thing is forgivable, I do exercise continuously to keep me fit to ride this beast and that's why I am fit because this bike is for the youth and for long running you must be fit as youth to ride it, so today I am also fit because of it, thank you for this. Good mileage, superior performance, looks, good reliable engine make it a clear winner wherever you go. This is my journey with R15 V3.

Best Features: After VVA activation it behave like a superbike and slipper clutch at high speed is just awesome.

Pros: Good mileage, superior performance, outstanding looks, reliable engine

Cons: Head light throw, Aggressive Position
