Fasten your seat belt and get ready to take off with Yamaha R15 V4; the bike that combines all the racing features and the convenience of everyday driving. Introduced in India in September 2021, the supersport is already a favourite among young riders and enthusiasts, being the fourth generation of this particular motorcycle. Its fine looks, finer performance and features have made the R15 V4 remain top-of-the-line in the segment, offering an experience of the famed R-series philosophy at a very affordable price.
Add Extra Power And Extra Performance
The R15 V4 has a liquid-cooled, 155cc, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) in its core. This upgraded drive train produces 18.1 bhp at 10000rpm and 14.2 Nm of torque at 7500rpm with the help of a smooth six speed gear change. Gear shifts are smooth courtesy of the assist and slipper clutch and the traction control system promotes grip and stability. In both city as well as race use, the R15 V4 responds with thrilling and powerful performance without sacrificing the mileage which stands at 46-60.5 kmpl.
The World-Class Technology
The R15 V4 is technologically a miracle. Their fully digital instrument cluster shows phone notifications, ride statistics, and maintains alerts, and includes connectivity through Bluetooth via the Y-Connect app. Upper settings are enhanced with a TFT screen and with a track-centered datum such as lap time and gear position. Dual channel ABS, upside-down front forks and quick-shifter (standard features on certain variants) enhance riding experience. Another feature of the bike is the E20 fuel in line with the Yamaha commitment to environment-friendly products, which would be an appeal to a modern rider.
Updates And Colors 2025
In the 2025 edition, Yamaha has retained the R15 V4 with vivid color options of Vivid Magenta metallic, Racing Blue, and intensive white color as well as Dark Knight and Metallic grey. The R15M model has a carbon-fibre-pattern design and graphics inspired by MotoGP and costs Rs 2.11 lakh. A more recent update in Indonesia included the option of smartphone connectivity, already a standard in India, and the new black-on-black color scheme.
