Yamaha Unveils R15M in Carbon Fibre Pattern Graphic and Enhanced Upgrades

  • The current R15M Metallic Grey and the latest R15M with Carbon Fibre Pattern Graphic, both feature new upgrades such as Turn by Turn Navigation, Music & Volume Control and LED License Plate Light

 Chennai, 13th September 2024: Today, India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has launched the R15M with a Carbon Fibre Pattern graphic that encapsulates the spirit of top-tier Japanese motorcycle design & engineering. The bike features a 155cc liquid-cooled engine that has been inspired by the venerable R1 and is designed as a SuperSport in line with Yamaha’s Racing DNA. The latest upgrade in R15M aligns perfectly with Yamaha’s ‘The Call of the Blue’ brand campaign.

The Carbon Fibre Pattern is inspired by the legendary R1M’s carbon body work and has been applied using modern water-dipping technology for exceptional finish. This pattern can be seen on the front cowl, sides fairing, and the flanks of the rear side panels. In addition to the carbon fibre pattern, the R15M also gets an all-black fender, new decals on the tank and sides fairing along with blue wheels at both ends to complete its alluring race-derived aesthetics.

Among the latest upgrades, R15M now gets a Turn-by-Turn Navigation feature for a hassle-free riding and music & volume control function, which can be accessed through Y-Connect Application available on Play store (Android)/ App store (iOS). The rider simply needs to download and install the App on their smartphone in order to connect and sync with the bike. Not just that, the model also has an upgraded switchgear and a new LED license plate light for the convenience of the user.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Eishin Chihana, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group of Companies said, “Yamaha motorcycles are well known for their exhilarating performance, exciting agility and eye-catching sporty design. Since its launch in 2008, the R15 has embodied class leading performance and has enabled numerous consumers in India to experience the joy of riding a SuperSport motorcycle with thoroughbred Yamaha Racing DNA. The young consumers in India are well versed with our international models and the lineage, styling and technology that percolates into the R15 from the R1 has also been significantly recognised and appreciated by them.”

“The new R15M raises this bar even higher, with its powerful engine, innovative features, racy decals and sporty carbon-fibre patterned accents. We are confident that the R15M will continue to delight our consumers who crave for a premium motorcycling experience, with ample performance to keep them enthralled for a long time to come”, he added.

The R15M delivers powerful performance, all thanks to its Fuel-injected 155cc engine, which produces a maximum torque of 14.2Nm @ 7,500rpm and maximum power of 13.5 kW @ 10,000 rpm.

The Traction Control System is a dedicated electronic system that reduces the chances of wheel spin. The Quick Shifter enable seamless gear shifts without the need for manual clutch operation or rolling back on the throttle while upshifting. The Assist and Slipper Clutch reduces the lever pulling effort for the rider and prevents excessive engine braking that might unsettle the bike’s rear end during rapid downshifting like when decelerating hard to attain the right entry speed for a corner.

The unique high-performance Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system provides optimal power and torque across the RPM range by operating one intake valve cam for low to mid-range revs and another one which kicks in at 7,400 rpm for the higher revs. Further, it sports exciting features including a fully digital color TFT screen and Bluetooth Connectivity. Overall, these combined features ensure a smooth, enjoyable and comfortable riding experience while enhancing the sportiness of the R15M no matter where it is ridden.

These new updates underscore Yamaha’s commitment to innovation and fulfilment of customer needs by understanding their evolving tastes and preferences in the segment.

The latest R15M with Carbon Fibre Pattern is Rs. 2,08,300 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) and can be purchased from any of the Yamaha Blue Square Showrooms across the country. While the price of the upgraded R15M in Metallic Grey is Rs. 1,98,300 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) and can be purchased at all Yamaha dealerships.
