The Yamaha R15 V4 comes out as a revolution in the 150cc sportbike model. Its race-inspired styling and aggressive chassis is geared to earn the favor of riders seeking everyday functionality and track-focused performance. It has streamlined aesthetics with clean lines and impressive LED styling which leads to an eye catching car on any street corner.
Advanced Engine and Acceleration
The R15 V4 is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor with VVA/ Variable Valve Actuation. This arrangement provides the maximum of 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm at 8,500 rpm. The crossplane crankshaft architecture guarantees a quick response to the throttle and a broader power curve allowing smooth overtakes in town and on the highway.
Race-Inspired Design and Aerodynamics
The body of the R15 V4 is inspired by the motogp MotoGP tradition of Yamaha. The undercut seat profile and the sculpted fuel tank give a better grip on a rider to hard braking and cornering. Aerodynamic winglets of front fairing cut lift at high velocity whilst the inverted front suspension and rigid deltabox frameframe improve stability in tight corners.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The new machine involves an on-board 7-inch full-color TFT display integrated with smartphone connectivity that provides turn-by-turn navigation and call notifications. An uppower device (a quick-shifter) enables clutchless upshifts and gives an optimal acceleration. A bi-directional Quick-shifter and the Assist & Slipper clutch works together to provide smooth downshifts as well as prevent rear-wheel hop under aggressive braking.
Ergonomics and Comfort
The riding posture is in between sporty and comfy. Clip-on handlebars and the stepped seat cushion long rides as well and keeps the wrists engaged without fatigue. Rearset foot controls and slim waistline provide good traction, and the dual-channel ABS brakes provide braking capability in wet or dry surroundings.
