The Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 is the fourth-generation iteration of Yamaha’s entry-level supersport motorcycle, building on the brand’s legacy in the 155 cc segment. Originally introduced in 2008, the R15 has consistently evolved to deliver track-inspired performance in a street-legal package.
The V4 version was launched in India in September 2021 and marked a significant upgrade in terms of styling and rider-centric features. It is designed to replicate the look and feel of larger Yamaha superbikes such as the YZF-R1, with a low-slung fairing, bi-functional LED headlamp, and sculpted tank. Despite its performance focus, the R15 V4 retains enough usability for everyday riding.
Yamaha has refreshed the R15 lineup in India for the 2025 model year, introducing a set of new colour options and finishes across the range. The updates spans the entire R15 range, with prices starting from ₹1.67 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Yamaha R15 V4 price starts from ₹1.84 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base Metallic Red variant. The Dark Knight colour is priced at ₹1.85 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Racing Blue, Intensity White, Matte Pearl White (new) and Vivid Magenta Metallic options are each priced at ₹1.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The R15M range, which includes the Metallic Grey and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition, is priced at ₹1.96 lakh (ex-showroom). The base R15S comes at ₹1.67 lakh (ex-showroom).
The R15 V4 was launched in India on September 21, 2021. It replaced the R15 V3 and brought in substantial design, hardware, and feature updates to make it more competitive in the entry-level sportbike market.
The R15 V4 is sold in three core variants: Metallic Red, Dark Knight, and Racing Blue. Additional colours such as Intensity White and Vivid Magenta Metallic have expanded the V4’s visual palette. The R15M variant, positioned as a higher-spec offering, is available in Metallic Grey and the MotoGP Edition, featuring special graphics inspired by Yamaha’s MotoGP team. For 2025, Yamaha has introduced a new Matte Pearl White colour scheme, alongside tweaking its existing options with refreshed graphics.
All variants feature LED lighting and a digital instrument console, while the R15M and Racing Blue trims come equipped with advanced features such as a TFT screen, quick-shifter, and traction control. The Dark Knight and Metallic Red trims offer these features as optional accessories.
The Yamaha R15 V4 offers an ARAI-claimed mileage of 45 kmpl. Real-world efficiency will vary based on riding conditions, gear usage, and throttle input.
Powering the Yamaha R15 V4 is a 155 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). This motor delivers 18.4 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 14.2 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and features an assist and slipper clutch for smoother downshifts. The bike can reach a top speed of around 131 kmph.
The motorcycle is built around a Deltabox frame and gets 37 mm upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a 282 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS for improved braking control. The inclusion of traction control and riding modes adds another layer of safety and adaptability.
The R15 gets a full-digital console with Bluetooth connectivity, enabling call alerts, SMS notifications, and phone battery status display. The TFT screen available on higher trims also provides track-focused information such as lap timing, gear position, and ride mode status. Riders also benefit from features such as dual-channel ABS, traction control, and two ride modes—Track and Street.
Yamaha has fitted in a bi-functional LED headlamp flanked by LED DRLs, and an assist and slipper clutch is standard across the range. A quick-shifter is included in the Racing Blue and R15M variants and is optional on others. The R15 V4 also uses a side-stand engine cut-off feature and offers VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) technology for improved performance across the rev range.
At present, Yamaha has not announced any official offers for the R15 V4. However, prospective buyers are advised to contact local dealerships to check for possible dealer-specific promotions or finance schemes.
The Yamaha R15 V4 competes in the entry-level sportbike category and is positioned against rivals such as the Bajaj Pulsar RS200, KTM RC 125, and Hero Karizma XMR 210.
