India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new ‘Metallic Black’ colour option for the XSR155 at Rs 1,58,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Alongside the new shade, Yamaha has also revised prices of the existing colour options, less than three months after the motorcycle’s launch in India.
The new Metallic Black variant, paired with golden USD front forks, enhances the XSR155’s muscular tank design, minimalist bodywork and retro-inspired styling. The deeper tone combined with the gold suspension components gives the motorcycle a stronger road presence and a more premium appeal.

Engine & Underpinnings
The XSR155 is based on the same platform as the Yamaha R15 and MT-15. It is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine featuring Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), producing 13.5 kW and 14.2 Nm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox equipped with assist and slipper clutch.
The motorcycle is built around Yamaha’s Deltabox frame and features an aluminium swingarm, USD front forks, linked-type monocross rear suspension, dual-channel ABS and Traction Control. Riding on 17-inch wheels, the XSR155 aims to combine retro styling with sporty performance and everyday usability.
Launched in November last year, the XSR155 has quickly gained traction among enthusiasts seeking a modern-retro motorcycle with Yamaha’s proven 155cc performance platform. The addition of the Metallic Black shade and revised pricing now reshapes its positioning within the segment.
