      Yamaha R15 goes up against other entry-level sports bikes such as Suzuki Gixxer SF and the upcoming KTM RC 125
      Yamaha has launched the new generation R15 in India which has been officially named YZF R15 V4. The latest iteration of the entry-level supersport bike has got some serious styling updates over the outgoing model and also some crucial mechanical updates which make it sportier not just in looks but character as well.

      It is a stark departure from the outgoing model’s dual-beam headlights. Further, Yamaha has also installed new body panels on the new R15. Other styling details include a redesigned tail section, revised fairings and a muscular fuel tank. New body graphics also enhance the bike’s sporty appeal. These include a special livery inspired by MotoGP Edition Monster Energy branding flashed across the front apron.
      The exhaust muffler appears to be stubbier than the one in its predecessor and gets a metallic finish. Due to the revised exhaust setup, footpegs for the pillion also have been repositioned. Colour-coded alloy wheels are another aesthetic addition in the new-gen R15 which accentuates its sporty credentials.

      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Launch Teaser Out – R15 Based Maxi Sports Scooter

      by

      Image for referenceYamaha Aerox 155 will be the third scooter in the company’s India lineup after Fascino 125 Fi and RayZR
      Yamaha had showcased the Aerox 155cc scooter in India back in 2018. But at that time they decided not to launch as it did not get the expected response. But it is 2021, and demand for maxi-scooters is on the rise.
      Yamaha will be expanding its scooter lineup in India by launching Aerox 155 tomorrow. As per the latest teaser shared by Yamaha India, they will launch their new Maxi Sports scooter on 21st Sep, tomorrow. Interestingly, tomorrow is also the day Yamaha will launch the new R15 V4 and the R15M.
      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Scooter Launch Teaser
      The 155cc scooter will be the first Maxi-style offering from the Japanese bikemaker on Indian soil. The Maxi segment of scooters is clearly an untapped space in the country presently with the only notable offering in this category being Aprilia SXR 160.
      Yamaha has already homologated the upcoming Aerox 155 and its type approval documents revealed a few crucial details about the scooter. Aerox will be the third model from the Japanese automaker to offer the much-loved 155cc VVA motor which also powers YZF R15 and MT-15.
      Yamaha India Launch Teaser Of New Maxi Sports Scooter – Aerox 155cc
      The scooter is already available for retail in a few Southeast Asian markets including Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. Yamaha a few months ago, during the launch of FZ-X, had revealed that its focus will be on the premium segment of two-wheelers with a variety of models between 150cc and 250cc. Aerox will cater to the demands of a niche segment of buyers who want a scooter with performance, a unique design as well as class-leading features.
      Design & Specs
      In terms of styling, 2021 Aerox 155 currently on sale in Indonesia includes a twin LED headlight setup consisting of LED DRLs and an updated LED tail lamp. It is, however, not a full-fledged Maxi scooter and only borrows the design aspect from the premium segment of scooters. Even though it is powered by a very potent 155cc motor, its output figures are simply not enough to classify it as a true Maxi scooter.
      Nevertheless, the single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor will pump out 14.75 bhp in the India-spec model which is a tad less than the iterations sold in Thailand and Indonesia. This mainly has to do with stricter emission norms in our country. In terms of proportions, the new Aerox 155 will measure 1980 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 1150 mm in height. Wheelbase on offer is 1350mm.
      Yamaha Aerox 155cc scooter was showcased in India back in 2018, at select dealerships.
      Features on offer
      As far as features go, Aerox is equipped with a digital instrument console which is enabled with connectivity modules such as Bluetooth and Yamaha’s Y-Connect smartphone app. The latter allows riders to pair their smartphones with the scooter in order to receive a host of information including error codes, service schedules and last parking location.
      Other feature highlights include hazard lights, keyless entry, engine start/stop, LED headlight and taillight, and a 25-litre storage capacity under the seat which can be accessed by a remote locking button. Suspension duties are carried out by conventional telescopic forks in front and twin remote reservoir shock absorbers at rear. Braking duties are taken care of by a disc brake at front and drum brake at rear aided by a single-channel ABS. More

      2022 Yamaha R125 And R3 Unveiled – Special Edition Colour Scheme

      by

      2022 Yamaha R3Yamaha will soon update the YZF R15 in India – It will be christened as R15 V4 and R15M
      Yamaha has been a successful Grand Prix motorcycle racing team for 60 years now and to commemorate this occasion, the Japanese brand is launching a special edition of the 2022 R3 and R15 later this year. To showcase its MotoGP racing heritage, Yamaha has introduced a special 60th Anniversary livery on both faired motorcycles.
      60th Anniversary Edition
      Moreover, 2022 Yamaha R3 is now compliant with Euro-5 emission norms. Both feature common styling elements such as white paneling with red graphics in the speed block design, as well as a special emblem on the tank. Yamaha’s iconic speed block-style pattern on fairings adds that special retro touch to the package.
      Furthermore, the faired sports bikes are adorned by a continuous red paint stripe on the fuel tank and tail section. Other attractive highlights include a red front fender, a yellow paint at front apron to carve the numbers on it and golden-coloured alloy rims. The bikes look similar to Team Blue’s MotoGP test bike for the pre-season with the same livery.
      R3 Updates
      The biggest update is seen in the form of R3 making its return with a Euro-5 compliant engine. In order to achieve this, the Japanese bikemaker has tweaked the lower fairing cowl of R3 to incorporate a new catalytic converter.
      2022 Yamaha R3
      Rest of the specifications are similar to its predecessor. It continues to be powered by a 321cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin mill that churns out 41 bhp and 29.5 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox which gets a slipper and assist clutch.
      The bike is underpinned by a diamond tube frame which is sprung on gold-painted 37mm inverted forks at front and a mono-shock at rear. In addition to the 60th Anniversary paint scheme, Yamaha has offered the 2022 R3 in Icon Blue and Yamaha Black shades. In terms of features, it gets an all-LED illumination and a digital LCD instrument console.
      2022 Yamaha R125 Specs
      R125, on the other hand, gets a new dual-tone Icon Blue paint along with a dark matte blue colour option, apart from the 60th Anniversary Edition. It is powered by a 125cc liquid-cooled motor (with VVA) that dishes out 15 bhp and 11.5Nm of peak torque. This unit is coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and gets a slipper clutch as well. Suspension duties are handled by 41mm USD front forks and linked rear mono-shock. Its braking hardware consists of a 292mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc.
      2022 Yamaha R125
      With R3 now Euro-5 compliant, we can hope that it makes its re-entry in India soon. R125 is unlikely to make its way to India since the space is already occupied by YZF R15 which, interestingly, is scheduled to receive a major upgrade in the coming days. More

      Yamaha R15M Launch Date Is 21st Sep – Gets New Features

      by

      2021 Yamaha R15M – RenderAlthough focused on visual enhancements, Yamaha R15M also packs in functional updates like USD forks
      Ahead of its launch, Yamaha R15M variant has started arriving at dealerships. The bike has been spotted in two colour options, Yamaha Blue and Silver. Yamaha R15M launch date is set for 21st Sep 2021.
      Earlier, R15M was also spotted in MotoGP livery with Monster Energy branding at front and side panels. In comparison, standard R15 is offered in colour options of Thunder Grey, Metallic Red, Dark Knight and Racing Blue.
      Yamaha R15M style updates
      It is apparent that R15M borrows its styling bits from Yamaha flagship R1M. Some specific features such as front fascia look similar to that of R7. One of the key visual changes on R15M is single projector LED headlamp.
      The current R15 model is equipped with dual headlights. This is no doubt a sportier unit, but the single LED setup of R15M variant gives the bike a more aggressive and dominating look and feel. Sharp LED DRLs at the sides further accentuate the bike’s badass profile.
      Yamaha R15M India Launch Date – 21st Sep 2021
      Some changes can also be seen on side fairing, tail section and LED tail lamp. Skeletal details on R15M variant are more distinct in comparison to that of standard R15. The exhaust looks familiar, but it gets metallic heat shield. In other updates, the air ducts on R15M appear to be larger. The bike also seems to have been equipped with a larger windscreen. On both colour variants, alloy wheels are wrapped in Blue paint.
      Yamaha R15M functional updates
      Among the things that immediately get our attention are the golden coloured front forks. These are USD forks, which can be expected to provide tangible benefits in terms of handling and braking. And of course they also add an extra dash of sportiness to the bike. Yamaha already offers USD forks with R15 in international markets. In India, R15 utilizes standard telescopic forks.
      At the rear, R15 has monocross suspension system. This is likely to be the same for R15M variant. Braking apparatus is expected to be the same as well; 282 mm disc at the front and 220 mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard with R15.
      As revealed in Type Approval Document, Yamaha R15M utilizes a 155cc motor. This is likely to be the same as R15. However, the power output for R15M variant is stated as 13.5 kW (~ 18.35 ps). This is slightly less as compared to 13.7 kW (18.6 ps) of R15.
      It remains to be seen if torque output will also be different for R15M variant. On R15, max torque output is 14.1 Nm at 8,500 RPM. The engine is mated to a 6-speed, constant mesh transmission. With the updates, Yamaha R15M variant could cost around 5k to 10k more than standard YZF R15 V3.0. The latter is currently offered at a starting price of Rs 1.56 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). More

      New Yamaha R15M Arrives In Showroom – Blue And Silver Colours

      by

      Yamaha R15M. Image – RevNitroExpect the upcoming Yamaha R15M to cost a premium of Rs 5,000-10,000 over the standard YZF R15 V3.0
      It recently came to light that Yamaha will introduce a new top-spec trim of its entry-level sports bike YZF R15 in India. Also, a type approval document revealed a few key details about the upcoming Yamaha R15M.
      Not just the naming convention but the overall styling also seems to be inspired by the flagship Yamaha R1M. Earlier leaked images indicate that the upcoming iteration is expected to feature more premium components in comparison to the standard model.
      Slated to be christened R15M, this new variant has started arriving at authorized dealer showrooms in India. RevNitro has managed to get exclusive photos of the new Yamaha R15M in two colour options of Yamaha Blue and Silver.
      Updated Design
      Yamaha has been testing various prototypes in recent months of whom one of them is expected to be the new R15M. Going by recent images, the upcoming motorcycle dons similar faired clothing as its regular sibling but receives a few subtle yet notable styling variations. For instance, R15 gets a single projector LED headlamp instead of dual-beam headlights in the standard R15 upfront.
      Yamaha R15M
      The single projector headlight is flanked by sleek LED DRLs on both sides. Other design updates include use of different body panels. R15M gets the same tail section as the base trim, however, the former seems to receive larger air ducts.
      Yamaha R15M
      LED taillamp unit also appears to be redesigned. Additionally, it features a new front fairing and a larger windscreen. Overall, the front face is reminiscent of the larger R7. It will also get Bluetooth enabled features for phone calls and navigation.
      The exhaust muffler appears to be stubbier than the one in R15 and gets a metallic finish. Due to the revised exhaust setup, footpegs for the pillion also seem to be repositioned. Previous images have revealed that it will also wear a special livery inspired by MotoGP Edition with Monster Energy branding flashed across the front apron.
      Yamaha R15M
      Mechanical Updates
      It is not just glitter but also functionality that has been improved. The most critical update is the use of USD forks at front which improves the bike’s handling quite a few notches. The golden-coloured forks also enhance the bike’s sporty aesthetics. Also accentuating the motorcycle’s sporty appeal will be the blacked-out alloy rims. However, R15M remains dimensionally identical to the regular model.
      The type approval documents further revealed that R15 will be powered by the same 155cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with VVA technology and paired with a six-speed gearbox. Surprisingly, this motor on R15M churns out close to 18 bhp (13.6 kW) of power which is a tad less than what is on offer with R15 V3 (13.7 kW). It will be interesting to see if there are any changes to its torque output.
