      Yamaha R15 V4, R15M First Batch Delivery Starts – Walkaround, Exhaust Sound

      by

      New Yamaha R15M, R15 V4 Delivery Starts. Image – MRD VlogsNew Yamaha R15 V4 will continue to rival the likes of KTM RC 125, Pulsar RS200 and TVS Apache RTR200 4V
      One of the popular entry-level sports bikes in the country, Yamaha R15 has been launched in its new avatar. Yamaha has also launched R15M along with the regular R15 V4. Both bikes get a range of enhancements including visual as well as functional updates.
      New Yamaha R15 V4 Walkaround
      New-gen Yamaha R15 V4 packs in several cosmetic enhancements. Overall styling has been inspired by new YZR-R7 that was unveiled earlier this year in May. R15 V4 has an updated front fascia with LED projector set-up. This replaces the twin-eye LED headlights in use with existing R15 V3. The headlamp is flanked by sharp LED DRLs, which ensure a dominating street presence for the bike.
      Price of the new Yamaha R15 V4 starts from Rs 1.68 lakh for the Metallic Red colour and Rs 1.69 lakh for the Dark Knight. Racing Blue R15 V4 is priced at Rs 1.73 lakh while R15M in Silver costs Rs 1.78 lakh. There is also the R15M Monster Edition, priced at Rs 1.8 lakh. All prices are ex-sh.
      In other updates, R15 V4 gets redesigned visor, sculpted fuel tank, and new fairing. Exhaust has also been updated with a stubbier unit that wears a metallic finish. At the rear, the bike gets sportier tail lamp. Take a look at the detailed walkaround video and exhaust note of new Yamaha R15 V4 and R15M in the video below by MRD Vlogs.

      With new R15 V4, Yamaha has also fulfilled the long-pending demand of USD forks. As international-spec R15 V3 is equipped with USD forks, it was a bit of disappointment that the Indian version came with conventional telescopic forks.
      Users can now expect improved ride dynamics and handling, especially at high speeds, when braking or negotiating uneven surfaces. Wrapped in golden shade, the USD forks also work to enhance the bike’s sporty profile.
      Delivery of the new Yamaha R15 V4 as well as that of the R15M has started across India. One of the first owner, of the new R15 in India, is Farhan Ahmed, who also owns previous gen R15. Considering that India is the first country where the R15 V4 has been launched first, Farhan is likely the first owner of new R15 V4 in the world.

      New Yamaha R15 V4 engine and specs
      Powering new Yamaha R15 V4 is the same 155 cc, liquid cooled, SOHC motor as the current model. It is capable of generating 18.6 ps of max power at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed constant mesh transmission.
      R15 V4 will continue using performance boosting tech such as variable valve actuation (VVA) and assist and slipper clutch. VVA comprises two intake valve cams that are used independently. One is for low to mid-range rpm whereas the other is for high rpm. These switch at 7,400 rpm mark, which ensures optimal torque availability across the rev range including at low rpm.
      Assist and slipper clutch works to ensure smooth gearshifts during rapid deceleration. Another benefit is lighter clutch pull, which reduces rider fatigue. R15 V4 utilizes a deltabox frame with monocross suspension at rear. Braking duties are performed by 282 mm disc at the front and 220 mm disc at rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard. It also gets traction control as well as quickshifter. More

      New TVS Jupiter 125 Launch Likely On Oct 7 – Honda Activa Rival

      by

      TVS Jupiter 125 RenderTVS Jupiter 125 will join the long list of scooters under the 125cc category in India from next month
      TVS has teased the launch of a new product for next month. For now, TVS has not revealed what the produced it. But is likely going to be all new Jupiter 125. The company had previously announced earlier this month that they will be launching two new 125cc models in the near future.
      Post that announcement, TVS has already launched a new 125cc motorcycle called Raider at a starting price of Rs 77,500 (ex-showroom). The next 125cc product in line is expected to be the much awaited 125cc version of Jupiter – the best selling scooter from TVS. Once launched, new TVS Jupiter 125 will take on the likes of Suzuki Access, Honda Activa 125, Hero Destini 125, Maestro Edge 125 and Yamaha Fascino 125.
      Difference in styling and features
      The teaser shared by TVS, hardly reveals anything. It has the text – Come experience more. With the emphasis on the word MORE. Considering that it is the Jupiter 125, you can expect more power, more torque, more features from this upcoming scooter.
      The photo shows a pair of LED DRLs which are expected to be mounted on the front apron. These are different from the ones seen in the current 110cc iteration of Jupiter. The ones shown in the teaser look sleeker and sharper. We can expect a few more subtle cosmetic variations on the upcoming Jupiter 125 in comparison to its lesser powered sibling.
      TVS Jupiter 125 Launch Teaser?
      Also, expect TVS to offer new paint schemes on the new 125cc scooter in order to differentiate from the current Jupiter 110. In addition, new features such as a digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity could be added to the equipment of Jupiter 125. Other features expected to be offered include LED headlight and taillight, USB charger and external fuel filler cap.
      Like the current Jupiter model, the upcoming 125cc Jupiter will also be a practical scooter with decent under-seat storage and a sizeable flat footboard. It will be slightly heavier than the 110cc Jupiter due to a larger engine. That said, underpinnings on the new Jupiter will most probably be identical featuring telescopic forks at front and a mono-shock mounted on swingarm.
      New TVS Jupiter 125 – Expected Powertrain Specs
      Powering Jupiter 125 will be the same 124.8cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine as in Ntorq. In the latter, it is available in two states of tunes- 10.2 PS of power / 10.8 Nm of torque (on Race XP variant) and 9.38 PS of power / 10.5 Nm of torque (standard variants).
      In Jupiter, it is likely to deliver a slightly lower output than the standard Ntorq while being mated to a CVT gearbox. Unlike Ntorq, Jupiter will be equipped with an ET fuel injector instead of a Race Tuned Fuel injector (RT FI) for better fuel economy.
      Jupiter 125 will be the fifth scooter offered by the Hosur-based two-wheeler manufacturer. Its lineup includes scooters such as Scooter Pep+, Scooty Zest, Jupiter 110 and Ntorq 125. It is expected to be positioned in between Jupiter 110 and Ntorq in the company’s scooter lineup. More

      The new-gen Monster features a plethora of changes over its predecessor which not only involves cosmetic overhaul but also mechanical upgrades. The 2021 Monster is underpinned by a new, lightweight frame and powered by a new engine.
      2021 Ducati Monster
      Updated Design
      The new-gen Monster gets serious aesthetic updates over the discontinued Monster 821 which makes it look more menacing. This is thanks to an oval-shaped LED headlight, rear panel, a muscular fuel tank design and a multi-barrel upswept exhaust with a slash-cut design. The integrated LED DRL is reminiscent of the outgoing Monster. The single-piece narrow seat widens the rear to meet the side panels, inspired by Panigale V4.
      All colour options receive a dual-tone theme with the lower portion including the engine bay completely blacked out, accentuating its sporty characteristics. As mentioned earlier, the new-gen Monster is underpinned by a short aluminium frame from the Panigale V4 which is attached directly to engine heads. It is supported by a glass fibre reinforced polymer sub-frame at rear. This results in an extremely nimble kerb weight of 166kg which is a whopping 18 kilos lighter than the previous-gen model.
      Features & New Powertrain
      Equipment on the new-gen Monster is packed with features consisting of full-LED lighting and a 4.3-inch TFT digital instrument display that is compatible with Bluetooth. It gets three riding modes including- Urban, Touring, and Sport.

      Powering this Monster is a 937cc Testastretta L-twin, liquid-cooled engine which also propels SuperSport 950. This motor cranks out 111 bhp at 9,250rpm and 93Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm and is paired with a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle will be on display across all Ducati dealerships in Delhi – NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, Kolkata, and Chennai in the next few days. More

      New Yamaha Aerox 155 Vs Aprilia SXR 160 Scooter – Specs Comparison

      by

      Yamaha Aerox 155
      Yamaha Aerox is a lot closer to being a proper Maxi scooter than SXR 160, thanks to its engine output
      Yamaha has launched its first Maxi-style scooter in India in the form of Aerox 155. The Maxi scooter space in India is pretty unexplored at the moment with the only notable inclusion being Aprilia SXR 160 which was launched last year. The Japanese brand homologated Aerox 155 earlier last month.
      While it won’t specifically cater to the mass segment of scooter buyers, it will definitely create a buzz in the market for those seeking a fun-to-ride scooter. Hence, a comparison of Aerox 155 with its only rival SXR 160 is in order to check how each one stacks up against the other.
      Yamaha Aerox 155
      Design & Dimensions
      Starting with design, both scooters get a Maxi styling with sharp features comprising a front-heavy faired body. It is to be noted that both aren’t full-fledged Maxi scooters as they only provide a visual appeal and only borrow the design aspect from the premium segment of scooters. Both scooters get a twin headlamp setup upfront in the apron with integrated turn indicators and position lights.
      SXR 160 also gets a large visor which Aerox 155 misses out on. Further, Aerox 155 gets a single-piece stepped-up seat whereas the single-piece saddle of SXR 160 is very much flat throughout. Also, the Japanese scooter features separate floorboards for both feet of the rider whereas its Italian counterpart gets a flat floorboard. In terms of dimensions, Aerox is longer than SXR but shorter and slimmer than its nearest rival. It also gets a smaller fuel tank of 5.5-litre capacity.
      New Yamaha Aerox 155 Vs Aprilia SXR 160
      Features And Specs
      In terms of features, both scooters offer a wide range of niceties. Common features on offer include LED headlight and taillights and a USB charging port. Moreover, both scooters get a fully digital instrument console compatible with Bluetooth and Smartphone connectivity. However, Aerox offers a tad more gizmos such as keyless entry and engine start/stop system and a slightly greater under-seat storage at 25 litres.
      Getting into hardware configurations, while Aerox is underpinned by an underbone chassis, SXR features a tubular chassis. Both scooters get telescopic forks upfront while rear suspension units comprise a mono-shock unit and twin shock absorbers in Aprilia and Yamaha. Braking duties on both scooters are carried out by a disc brake at front and drum brake at rear. Further, both scooters ride on 14-inch alloy wheels shod by tubeless tyres.
      Performance And Price
      It is in this department that Yamaha clearly outclasses Aprilia. The 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor powering Aerox pumps out 14.75 bhp and 13.8 Nm of peak torque. In comparison, the larger 160cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor propelling SXR only generates 10.8 bhp and 11.6 Nm of peak torque. The Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology in Aerox further improves rideability and power delivery from the motor.
      Aprilia SXR 160 Scooter
      Both Maxi-style scooters are closely priced to each other. While the Italian scooter is priced at Rs 1.25 lakh, its Japanese counterpart is being offered at a starting price of Rs 1.29 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. More

      BMW 350cc Scooter Launch Soon In India – New Teaser Out

      by

      New BMW Scooter For IndiaBMW 350cc Scooter will target a niche customer base – Bookings are already open at dealerships
      Maxi-scooter segment in India remains largely untapped as of now. There are just a few products and those too can be better described as a mix of standard scooter and maxi-scooter. With BMW C 400 GT coming to India in the days ahead, we can see more such true-blue maxi-scooters in the future.
      BMW 350cc Scooter – design and features
      With its beefy profile and sculpted body panels, BMW C 400 GT makes a dominating road presence. Some key features include full LED headlights, large windshield, ergonomic seat, upswept exhaust and large grabrails. In international markets, BMW C 400 GT is available in colour options of Style Triple Black, Alpine White and Callisto Gray Metallic. Style Triple Black is probably the best looking of the three and it also gets golden brake callipers.
      Maxi-scooters are synonymous with superior comfort and convenience. In that sense, BMW C 400 GT is loaded with a comprehensive range of features. It includes keyless ride, ride by wire technology, ample underseat storage, USB charging socket, and self-calibrating ASC. The scooter has TFT screen, which displays a range of information including navigational directions.
      Customers can use BMW Motorrad Connectivity suite to access a range of smart features. Riders can use the handlebar mounted multi-controller to access various functions such as music, search contacts, make / receive calls, etc. BMW is also offering optional equipment such as heated grips, heated seat and anti-theft alarm system.

      Maxi Scooters In India
      There will be no rival to the BMW 350cc scooter in the segment. As of now, in the maxi-scooter range India has the Aprilia SXR 125 and the SXR 160 as well as the recently launched Yamaha Aerox 155cc. Later this year, Honda Forza 350 maxi scooter could also make it to our shores.
      Its smaller sibling Forza 125 could also be launched in India. However, there is no official confirmation on this. Forza 125 gets its power from a 124.9cc motor that makes 14.75 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 12.2 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Forza 350 has a 330cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor that makes 28.8 bhp at 7500 rpm and 31.5 Nm at 5250 rpm. Both engines are Euro-5 compliant, which is largely the same as BS6. More

      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Maxi Scooter India Launch Price Rs 1.29 Lakh

      by

      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Scooter IndiaYamaha Aerox 155 is powered by the same 155cc VVA motor as R15 but delivers a slightly lower output
      Yamaha has upped its game in the last few months by launching a range of new models in India. Recently, the Japanese manufacturer launched updated iterations of Fascino Fi 125 and Ray-ZR with mild-hybrid technology. The company has introduced the third scooter in its India portfolio in the form of Aerox 155.
      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Maxi Scooter – Prices and Colours
      It is the first Maxi-style scooter from the brand in the country which is an untapped space in India’s two-wheeler market. Aerox 155 has been launched at a starting price of Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom), in two dual tone colours of blue / silver and white / black. Limited edition of Aerox Monster Energy MotoGP version is on sale for Rs 1.30 lakh, ex-sh. and currently has only one direct rival in the form of Aprilia SXR 160. The Maxi scooter was first showcased in India at the Auto Expo 2018.
      The scooter later found its way to select Yamaha showrooms for display but was not able to achieve a healthy response then. But Yamaha has decided to offer something different to the premium segment of buyers who want a scooter with a unique design as well as class-leading features and performance. Aerox 155 has been on sale in a few Southeast Asian markets including Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand.
      Maxi Design
      The latest iteration of Aerox made its international debut earlier this year which features design as well as feature updates. Starting with its design, the 2021 Aerox comes with a twin LED headlight setup consisting of LED DRLs and an updated LED tail lamp mounted on the front apron. Some signature Maxi styling cues include a front-heavy faired body, a raised floorboard and a stepped-up pillion seat.

      In terms of proportions, Aerox measures 1980 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 1150 mm in height. Wheelbase on offer is 1350mm and the fuel tank offers a capacity of 5.5 litres. The scooter weighs a nimble 125kg and has an accessible seat height of 790mm. One interesting highlight is the placement of the scooter’s fuel filler cap which is positioned on a central ridge on its floorboard.
      Features on offer
      Speaking of features, Aerox 155cc scooter is equipped with a digital instrument console that is enabled with connectivity modules such as Bluetooth and Yamaha’s Y-Connect smartphone app. The latter allows users to connect their smartphones with the scooter and access a wide range of features such as last parking location, service schedules, malfunction notifications, mileage, etc.
      Apart from connectivity, the Maxi scooter from Yamaha offers all-LED lighting, a traction control system and 25-litre storage which can be accessed using a remote locking button. Other feature highlights include engine start-stop function, hazard lights and keyless start.
      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Scooter India
      Mechanical Specs
      Powering Aerox is a 155cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine with variable valve actuation (VVA) which also propels a host of other Yamaha two-wheelers such as R15 V4, MT-15 and XSR 155 to name a few.
