      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.

      by

      Yamaha R15MYamaha YZF R15M is a sportier version of R15 V3 with styling bits borrowed from R7
      Globally, Yamaha utilizes the M suffix for performance oriented variants of its standard motorcycles. In the Indian market, Yamaha will soon launch the M version for R15 V3. With the name registered by the company, it has put all speculations to rest. Based on sightings of camouflaged test mules, a number of options were proposed earlier such as R2, R3 and R15 V4.
      Yamaha YZF R15M design and features
      One of the key updates for Yamaha YZF R15M is its single LED projector headlamp with sleek LED DRLs. The overall styling at the front looks familiar to that of R7. In comparison, standard R15 V3 utilizes twin-eye LED headlights. Other changes include subtle variations to body panels. The exhaust appears to be a stubbier unit and comes in metallic finish. At the rear, the LED tail lamp seems like a revised unit.
      Yamaha has showcased the upcoming R15M 155cc motorcycle to dealers at an exclusive event. New images reveal MotoGP theme, which significantly transforms the overall look and feel of the motorcycle. It remains to be seen if new colours will also be on offer for Yamaha YZF R15M. Existing R15 is offered in colour options of Metallic Red, Thunder Grey, Racing Blue and Dark Knight. Prices vary based on the colour selected.
      Functionally, R15M variant gets USD forks. It comes in golden finish, which enhances the bike’s sporty profile. It is to note that USD forks are already available for R15 V3 in international markets. Due to cost issues, it has not been introduced in Indian market. R15M variant will appeal to enthusiasts who had earlier expressed their wish to see R15 with USD forks.
      Yamaha R15M
      Another key update is revised instrument cluster and Bluetooth connectivity. Users can pair their mobile phones with the instrument console to access a range of connectivity features.
      Yamaha R15M engine and specs
      Yamaha R15M variant will be using the same 155cc engine as that of standard R15 V3. The liquid cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve motor on-board R15 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 constant-mesh 6-speed gearbox.
      The bike has been equipped with a range of advanced features such as assist and slipper clutch and variable valves actuation (VVA). In terms of safety, R15 has been equipped with side stand engine cut-off switch. Although R15M variant has the same engine, the power output mentioned in Type Approval Certificate is slightly less. It is 13.5 kW (~ 18.35 ps), as per the certificate.
      As far as dimensional aspects are concerned, Yamaha R15M variant is exactly the same as standard R15 V3. Both bikes are 1,990 mm long, 725 mm wide and 1,135 mm tall. Wheelbase is 1,325 mm whereas ground clearance is 170 mm. With the updates, Yamaha R15M variant will be costlier in comparison to standard R15.

      Yamaha 155cc Scooter Aerox, New R15M With Bluetooth, USD Forks – Launch Soon

      by

      2021 Yamaha Aerox 155Although Aerox will be using the same 155cc motor, it will have lesser power than YZR R15
      Yamaha is testing a number of new / updated products that are expected to be launched in the coming months. Additions to the list include a new variant of YZR R15 V3. The name registered by the company is R15M. This new variant is likely to be a new top of the line R15 variant, which will get sportier styling, new features like Bluetooth, etc.
      Yamaha will also be expanding its scooter portfolio to include its first maxi-scooter for the Indian market. Earlier this month we had reported that Yamaha will be launching a new scooter based on R15’s 155cc engine in India by Diwali 2021. It will be the new Aerox 155, as Yamaha has homologated the same in India.
      2021 Yamaha Aerox 155
      Yamaha Aerox maxi-scooter
      Maxi-scooter segment is largely untapped in the Indian market. It’s good to see that some OEMs have started exploring this space with the aim to gain the first-mover advantage. The current options are fairly limited to a few products such as Aprilia SXR 160.
      Yamaha will be entering this space with Aerox 155. The scooter is already available in several south east Asian markets such as Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines. As per the Type Approval Certificate, Aerox for the Indian market measures 1980 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 1150 mm in height. Wheelbase is 1350 mm.
      2021 Yamaha Aerox 155
      Aerox will be using the same engine as that of R15. However, it will come in a detuned state, generating close to 15 ps at 8,000 rpm. The maxi-scooter is expected to get a range of connectivity features accessible via Yamaha’s mobile app.
      Yamaha Aerox 155 Homolgated in India
      Yamaha R15M variant
      Yamaha R15M is likely to be a more sportier version of the R15. Recently, new Yamaha motorcycle was spotted on test in India. It is still unclear as to what that motorcycle could be. But with this new homologation details out, it is likely that it was the Yamaha R15M, and not the R3 or the R2 or the R15 V4 as reported earlier.
      Yamaha uses the M tag for the performance oriented versions of their standard motorcycles. The spy shots reveal that the R15M will get a new headlight unit, inspired by the R7. It will also get the USD forks. R15 is already available with USD forks outside India, but for India it is available with regular telescopic forks. Finally India will get USD forks on the R15 V3, with the new R15M variant.

      Other features and cycle parts for Yamaha YZF R15M variant will be the same as the current model. R15 is powered by a 155cc liquid cooled, SOHC, 4-valve motor that 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.

Wheelbase and ground clearance is 1,325 mm and 170 mm, respectively. Braking apparatus comprises 282 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard.

It is the same powertrain that is on offer in YZF R15 V3.0. This engine comes with a 6-speed gearbox which is paired with a slipper and assist clutch.
      Speaking of its hardware, the delta box frame is suspended on conventional telescopic forks at front and a mono-shock at rear, mounted onto a box-type swingarm.

      Yamaha Price Hike Aug 2021 For R15, FZ FI, Fascino – MT15 Price Reduced

      by

      Yamaha MT15 will soon get Bluetooth updateJust like other two-wheeler manufacturers, Yamaha has increased prices multiple times this year
      Yamaha’s price hike strategy has been slightly different as compared to that of other OEMs. While other manufacturers have usually announced price hikes across the range, Yamaha has been selective in its approach. In the latest round of price hike, products that have become costlier include YZF-R15 V3, FZ FI V3, FZS FI V3 and even recently launched Fascino 125 Hybrid.
      There is no official statement from Yamaha about the reason for this latest price hike. However, based on prevailing trends, the primary reason is likely to be the continuous increase in input costs. Inflationary conditions could have also led to this recent price hike. For select models, prices have been increased in the range of Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500.
      Yamaha Price List Aug 2021
      Lowest price hike of Rs 2,000 is for YZF-R15 V3. It is applicable for all variants – Thunder Grey, Metallic Red, Racing Blue and Dark Knight. Yamaha has increased price of R15 V3 at least three times this year.
      In March, prices were increased by Rs 2,700 for Blue, Grey and Dark Knight variants. Next month in April, prices were increased again for these variants by Rs 1,500. The next hike for R15 was in July, when prices for all four colour variants were increased by 2,500.
      Yamaha India Price List Aug 2021
      Cumulatively, R15 prices have gone up by Rs 8.7k in just around six months. However, as prices of rival products have also increased, most Yamaha two-wheelers continue to offer decent value for money that they are known for.
      Next in the list is Fascino 125 Hybrid, which was launched in July at a starting price of Rs 70k. It will now cost Rs 2k more than earlier. The price hike applies to both drum and disc variants of Fascino 125 Hybrid.
      For FZ FI V3 and FZS FI V3, prices have been increased by Rs 2,500 across all variants. The only exception is Vintage Green variant of FZS FI V3, which will retail at the same price as earlier.
      MT-15 prices slashed
      Yamaha has made a surprising move by slashing prices of MT-15 by Rs 1,000. It applies to Metallic Black and Dark Matte Blue variants of MT-15. Price of Ice Fluo Vermillion variant remains unchanged. Earlier this year in April, MT-15 prices were hiked by Rs 1,000 across all variants.
      Going by recent trends, we could expect more price hikes by two-wheeler manufacturers including Yamaha. The pandemic has severally jolted the entire ecosystem and its after-effects are likely to be felt for quite a long time. More
