Unmatched Legacy in Indiaโs Supersport Segment

Its success lies in a perfect blend of R-Series-inspired styling, cutting-edge technology, and exhilarating performance, making it a favorite among riders seeking thrill and precision.
Power-Packed Performance
At the heart of the R15 is a 155 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine equipped with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). This powerhouse delivers 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and a peak torque of 14.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm, paired with a smooth six-speed manual gearbox. The engineโs efficiency is enhanced by Yamahaโs DiASil cylinder, ensuring durability and dynamic response.
Advanced Engineering and Features
The R15โs lightweight Deltabox frame provides exceptional handling and stability. The suspension setup includes 37mm upside-down front forks and a linked-type Monocross rear suspension for precise control. Braking is managed by a 282 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS for confident stopping power. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with 100/80 front and 140/70 rear tubeless tires, balancing grip and agility.
Riders will appreciate the aggressive ergonomics, featuring clip-on handlebars, a split seat, and a full fairing inspired by Yamahaโs flagship supersport models. The side-slung exhaust adds to its sporty character. Select variants include premium features like a quick shifter, traction control, and an assist-and-slipper clutch for seamless gear changes.
Tech-Savvy Cockpit
The R15โs digital instrument cluster is packed with modern features, including Bluetooth connectivity, a gear position indicator, and a shift timing light, keeping riders informed and connected. With a kerb weight of approximately 142 kg and a seat height of 815 mm, the bike offers a balance of accessibility and sporty posture.
