Yamaha MT15 Unveiled

The 2019 Yamaha MT15 for India will be equipped with conventional telescopic shock absorbers instead of the upside down forks available in the international markets. This is in-line with the Yamaha’s strategy for the R15 V3.0. The motorcycle is also likely to feature a box-section swingarm in place of the aluminium unit of its sibling R15.

The styling of this naked bike is heavily inspired from the bigger Yamaha MT-09. The motorcycle is equipped with a newly developed bug-eyed LED headlamp unit, muscular fuel tank, a slim tail section, single-piece seat, and a newly designed digital instrument console. The motorcycle rides on the same 10-spoke alloy wheels and aluminium swing-arm. Braking system comprises of 267mm front disc and 220mm disc with a floating calliper. It will also receive dual-channel ABS as standard.

Powering the 2019 Yamaha MT-15 naked bike is a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve engine with VVA technology, which also powers the Yamaha R15 V3.0. Similar to fully-faired sibling, this bike also comes equipped with slipper clutch. This engine is capable of producing 19bhp of power and 14.8Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox. Thanks to VVT, the bike’s performance is claimed to be better during low and mid-range.
