R15S Features
Unibody Seat
Contrary to the earlier dual level seating, the Unibody Seat is created with a singular, flowing seat design that offers comfort to both the rider as well as the pillion. The broader, angular seat is smoother and offers a better riding experience true to Yamaha’s racing legacy.
Deltabox Frame
The new R15S adopts a Deltabox frame with superb rigidity balance. With a Deltabox frame, the top and bottom of the head pipe and the pivot points form a triangle, hence the “Deltabox” gives it excellent rigidity balance.
Aluminium Swingarm
The aluminum swingarm give you the advantage of significant reduction in unsprung weight which makes the bike easier to handle.
Negative LCD Instrument Cluster
The Negative LCD instrument cluster panel has a black background and white lettering. Digital speedometer, bar-style tachometer above, and a fuel gauge are constantly displayed, along with ABS warning lamp while the odometer, Trip 1, Trip 2, F Trip, clock and others can be selected for display. There is also an ECO indicator to enable more fuel-efficient riding.
Dual Horn
Racing means thrill, the thrill of riding on new tracks, the thrill of experiencing new turns and many more surprises that the topsy-turvy tracks have to offer. And today, even the city trails are bustling, a good horn can make the difference between being seen and noticed. Let the city hear you ride your way into the future. R15S has got that covered too. With new split horns delivering higher decibels and lower decibels (Dual Tone), here’s a racer that truly sounds like one
E20 Fuel Compatible
E20 Fuel reduces the emissions and is wonderful option for cutting down on pollution. As part of our carbon reduction commitments, We have updated the R15S to be compatible with E20 Fuel.
R15S Design
Aerodynamic LED Tail and Headlight
While the sharp design assists in overall airflow, the slim twin-eye LED headlights offers efficient lighting even for night rides.
R15S Performance
155cc LC4V SOHC FI Engine
The liquid cooled single overhead camshaft fuel injection engine churns out a maximum horse power of 13.5kW(18.4PS)/10000r/min and maximum torque of 14.2N.m (1.4kgf.m) / 7500r/min. Features an advanced die cast aluminum ( DiASil ) cylinder with outstanding cooling performance.
Variable Valves Actuation (VVA)
This is the first ever high-performance VVA system that provides torque for ease of use even at low RPM. There are two intake valve cams: one for low- to mid-range rpm and another for high rpm. They switch between each other at the 7,400 rpm mark to ensure good power and torque is present throughout the entire rev range.
6 Speed Transmission
Now shift gears without worrying about economy. The new R15S with 6-speed transmission allows to cruise at low RPM even in higher gears, thus saving fuel without missing on the thrill.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
An A&S (assist and slipper) clutch is adopted to reduce the weight of the clutch pull and provide low-stress shifting during deceleration. The A&S helps to reduce fatigue for the rider. This also prevents excessive engine braking, thus reducing its effects on chassis behavior. The A&S clutch makes for smooth, enjoyable downshifts.
R15S Comfort
Dual Channel ABS
Enjoy great performance now with superior control. R15S comes with 282mm front and 220mm rear disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) which means precise braking and restricted wheel lockups even when bike is at a high speed. This ensures a confident inspiring ride and let the rider enjoy the ride to the fullest.
140mm Super Wide Radial Rear Tyre
140/70R17M/C 66H radial tyre has been adopted at the rear with flexible side walls for better grip while cornering and superior shock absorbing capacity to ensure a more comfortable ride.
In-Built Side Stand Engine cut-off Switch
The days that you ride off without your side stand retracted are behind you. With the In-built side stand engine cut-off switch, you can be rest assured that you do not forget to remove side stand during those immediate rides.
