While Aerox and R15 get new colour options, MT15 has gotten a new, more affordable variant without LED indicator and Bluetooth connectivity
One of the key facets of Yamaha’s market strategy has been to introduce updates at regular intervals. Even minor updates can help refresh the portfolio and provide more value to enthusiasts. Working on the same lines, Yamaha has launched updates for Aerox, MT15 and R15 at a dealer event in Delhi, along with showcasing new products – R3, R7, R1M, MT03, MT07 and MT09.
Aerox, R15 new colour options
Among the most basic updates for a two-wheeler is new colour options. Aerox gets a new silver colour option and a traction control system (TCS). TCS will help to further maximise performance by minimising wheelspin and better control in any riding condition. Prices start from Rs 1,42,800, ex-sh for the Silver Aerox with TCS.
While silver can be dull, it’s not the case with this new colour shade for Aerox. That’s because the new colour theme has a vibrant mix of contrasting black shade, as evident on the fairing and side panels. Moreover, the scooter gets sporty graphics and lettering.
Another key highlight is the golden coloured wheels, a first for Aerox. Silver shade is a welcome addition for Aerox, as current colour options are limited to dark shades. It includes Metallic Black, Racing Blue and Grey Vermillion.
In case of R15, Yamaha has introduced a new white colour, called Intensity White. New Yamaha R15 Intensity White gets Quick Shifter and is priced from Rs 1,85,900, ex-sh. Current options of R15 are Metallic Red and Dark Knight are priced at Rs 1,80,900 and Rs 1,81,900, respectively. R15 Racing Blue is priced at Rs 1,85,900.
The new R15 white appears quite different in comparison to existing colour options of Metallic Red, Dark Knight and Racing Blue. White is not necessarily a mainstream colour for a bike, but can appeal to folks who want an entirely different look and feel. R15 white variant gets graphics in grey shade and has orange-coloured wheels. Golden USD forks against the white shade create an exciting contrast.
Yamaha MT15 Gets New Variant – Without Bluetooth
While equipping a bike with advanced features has its merits, the resulting increased pricing may not work for everyone. To free MT15 from such constraints, Yamaha has launched a new variant of the bike, which misses out on features such as LED indicators and Bluetooth connectivity. People with limited budget shouldn’t mind sacrificing these features in lieu of the reduced cost of ownership.
This new MT15 variant without the Bluetooth connect, is priced at Rs 1,63,400, ex-sh. It gets two exciting colors – Dark Matte Blue & Metallic Black colour. With the launch of this variant, customers will have a choice to select from Bluetooth (Y-Connect) equipped variant and non-equipped (Y-Connect) variant. This variant will retain the features like Dual Channel ABS for added safety, TCS ensuring maximum performance and OBD2 for quick access to the machine’s vital data. MT15 Bluetooth variants come in four colour options, all of which are priced at Rs 1,68,900. Hat tip to Nikam Yamaha and Jijo Thomas for sharing the exclusive photos.
