The Yamaha R15 V4 has created a new standard in the 155cc sports bike class with modern technology, beauty, and excitement. It is a racing-blooded real machine that takes inspiration from the bigger Yamaha supersport models and has been favored by the youth and enthusiasts alike.

Aggressive Design
The aerodynamic sharp design of the R15 V4 is borrowed from its big brothers, the R7 and R1. The dual LED headlamps, muscular fuel tank, and delta-shaped tail section help create a mean road presence. The full-fairing bodywork isn’t just for looks; it’s an integral part of the design that helps with high-speed stability and gives the bike its trademark supersport stance.
Engine And Performance
Inside is concealed a refined 155cc liquid-cooled engine with 4 valves and VVA. It delivers 18.4 BHP and 14.2 Nm of torque, and this engine thrives in the high revs, making an exciting acceleration. A 6-speed gearbox working with the slip-and-assist clutch comes into its own when corners need to be cut or the straights commandeered.
Unmatched Handling And Dynamics
The R15 V4 is fitted with a Deltabox chassis born from MotoGP, making for pinpoint handling. Matched with USD forks and monoshock rear suspension, the bike confidently glides through the corners. The tires measure a 140 section at the rear and 100 at the front providing ample grip, making it a monetarily inexpensive.
Advanced Electronics For A Safer Ride
The R15 V4 features a quickshifter (upshift only) for clutchless gear changes, whereas the dual-channel ABS and traction control aid stability in hard braking and slippery conditions. The integration of the Yamaha Motorcycle Connect app via Bluetooth offers all the techy bells and whistles as it provides ride analytics and notifications.
Pricing And Competition
With a price tag that stands in-between ₹1.82 lakh to ₹1.87 lakh (ex-showroom), the R15 V4 goes up against the KTM RC 200 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200. It is on the slightly expensive side, but it’s much justified considering that electronic systems, build quality, and of course; Yamaha’s racing pedigree.
Final Verdict
The Yamaha R15 V4 isn’t merely a motorbike; it is a sort of entry to performance riding. From its track-inspired engineering, advanced electronics, and unmistakable R-DNA, it’s truly a class apart, truly the rightful monarch in the segment of 150cc sports bikes.
