The 2025 Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 continues to impress with its sharp, urban streetfighter design, perfect for riders who want a bike that stands out. Sporting a muscular delta box frame and a bold LED projector headlamp assembly with LED DRLs, the MT-15 has a commanding road presence. Fresh colors like Metallic Silver Cyan and Ice Fluo-Vermillion add vibrancy to the lineup, ensuring it appeals to younger enthusiasts.
Engine and Performance That Excites
At the heart of the MT-15 is a punchy 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). It produces a healthy 18.4 PS of power at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. This is paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox featuring an assist and slipper clutch, making gear shifts light and responsive. The bike’s top speed is around 122 km/h, offering optimal performance for city roading and occasional highway bursts.
Tech-Forward Features for the Modern Rider
The 2025 MT-15 steps up with a fully digital 4.2-inch TFT display on the DLX variant, showcasing vital information such as speed, gear position, fuel level, and Bluetooth connectivity through Yamaha’s Y-Connect app. This tech integration allows riders to get call and SMS alerts, fuel consumption data, and even maintenance reminders, blending convenience with connectivity. Safety is enhanced with dual-channel ABS and traction control to keep every ride secure, especially in unpredictable traffic.
Ride and Handling
Thanks to a lightweight kerb weight of 141 kg and a low saddle height of 810 mm, the MT-15 is accessible and agile, suitable for new riders and seasoned bikers alike. The bike features a 37mm upside-down front fork and a monoshock rear suspension, providing stability and comfort even on broken roads. With 170 mm ground clearance and high-quality MRF tyres, it handles sharp corners and potholes with confidence, enhancing the overall riding experience.
Efficient and Practical for Daily Use
Fuel efficiency remains impressive at around 56-57 km per litre, backed by the fuel-injection system and VVA technology that optimize power delivery and economy. The 10-litre fuel tank strikes a balanced capacity, reducing frequent stops without adding unnecessary bulk. The compact and sporty frame makes it ideal for city commuting, school runs, and weekend rides for young adults and daily riders.
