If you’ve been eyeing up a new small-capacity sports bike, you’ll want to take note of the latest update from Yamaha Motor India. They have officially bumped up the prices across the entire R15 line-up, applying a flat Rs 4,900 increase to every single variant in the range.
Whether it’s the entry-level model or the top-spec track tool, every bike now carries a slightly heavier price tag.
The New Entry Point: Yamaha R15S
The most affordable way into the R15 family is the R15S, which is essentially the previous-generation V3 under the skin. It sticks with a telescopic fork, revised styling, and a stepped seat. Following the hike, the R15S now starts at Rs 1.57 lakh, moving up from its previous price of Rs 1.51 lakh.
Stepping Up to the R15 V4
Moving into the current generation, the Yamaha R15 V4 brings more modern kit to the table, including USD (upside-down) forks and an up-only quickshifter on certain variants. Because of the Rs 4,900 price jump, this mid-range option is now priced between Rs 1.71 lakh and Rs 1.76 lakh. Before this update, you could have picked one up for between Rs 1.66 lakh and Rs 1.71 lakh.
The Top-Spec Yamaha R15M
For those who want all the bells and whistles, the range-topping Yamaha R15M is the one. This variant sets itself apart with a colour TFT display, a standard quickshifter, and those flashy MotoGP and R1M-inspired liveries.
The new pricing for the R15M now sits between Rs 1.86 lakh and Rs 1.96 lakh, whereas it used to range from Rs 1.81 lakh to Rs 1.91 lakh.
All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi.
What Stays the Same?
Despite the bigger numbers on the invoice, the oily bits remain unchanged. All three variants are still powered by the dependable 155cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which pumps out 18.4 HP and 14.2 Nm of torque.
You’ll also find the same 6-speed gearbox, frame, wheels, and braking hardware across the board. The main differences between the three still come down to the suspension setup, styling, and the level of tech on the dash.
