Yamaha MT-15 V2 : Yamaha has once again turned heads in the Indian two-wheeler segment with the launch of the updated MT-15 V2. This motorcycle, which has consistently been a favorite among young riders seeking a blend of aggressive style and sharp performance, now arrives with enhancements that make it an even more compelling package. If you’re in the market for a bike that doesn’t force you to choose between thrilling performance, impressive fuel efficiency, and modern features, the MT-15 V2 deserves a spot at the top of your list.
A Design That Commands Attention
The MT-15 V2 still sports a design that is contemporary and unapologetically aggressive looking. It’s signature “Dark Side of Japan” styling can be seen on the chiseled fuel tank, sharp tail section and bulky bodywork. Among the highlights is a full LED lighting unit that also comprises the headlamp and distinctive DRLs to contribute with a premium look and improved visibility at night. It runs on trendy alloy wheels, which adds to its sporty, aerodynamic design. Yamaha is providing customers with various options to choose from for the new MT-15 V2 in vibrant paint schemes to match their style.
Performance That Delivers Thrills and Efficiency
At the core of the Yamaha MT15 V2 is a powerful 155cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke engine. This engine has been tuned for performance, producing a solid 18.4PS max power at 10,000rpm and 14.1Nm max torque at 7,500rpm. The power goes through a viscous coupled 6-speed transmission smoothly. A substantial technological novelty is the introduction of VVA (Variable Valve Actuation), which maximizes breathing potential of the engine at different RPM levels and provides high performance, together with strong low speed torque and exciting high speeds. Yamaha states the bike has an outstanding fuel mileage of 56 kmpl, which considering the sporty nature of the bike, is quite practical for daily riding.
Confident Handling and Safety
Yamaha has developed the MT-15 V2 chassis and suspension with the intention of providing an agile and confident riding experience. The front end receives sturdy USD telescopic forks and the back side riding on the monoshock suspension. This creates a harmonious combination that allows you to be comfortably thrown from road imperfections. Safety is first, and the bike is equipped with a safe braking system with disc brake at front and rear. This configuration is complemented by Dual-channel ABS, which is an important component in ensuring that the wheels don’t lock during emergency braking, and the riders maintain stability and control regardless of the road surface conditions.
