Born from Yamaha’s racing DNA, the new learner approved YZF-R15M takes racing inspiration to the next level thanks to a punchy liquid-cooled 155cc that runs a high compression ratio for sporty performance. Plus Variable Valve Actuation improves low end torque as well as top end grunt. Equipped with traction control, A&S clutch, a quick shifter, smartphone connectivity and stunning R1M inspired graphics, this entry level machine offers a lightweight sporty option for the city commute.

Engine

The liquid cooled single overhead camshaft fuel injection engine churns out maximum power of 13.5kW (18.4PS) and maximum torque of 14.2N.m (1.4kgf.m). What’s more the engine is equipped with a Traction Control System, Assist and Slipper (A&S) clutch and an up-shift Quick Shifter.

Chassis and Suspension

To take the sporty handling on twisty roads to the next level, the new R15M employs an upside down front suspension fork with 37mm inner tubes. Upside down front forks improve rigidity and provide stability while taking high speed turns or during high braking input.

Styling

The racing-inspired bodywork is now more aerodynamic, with better airflow management the rider can reach top speed faster and is also helpful in the high speed stability of the machine.
