About Yamaha MT-15


The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 has been launched at Rs 1,59,900, making it Rs 13,000 more expensive than its predecessor, the Yamaha MT-15. What’s new in this updated iteration? Well, head to our launch report for all the juicy details.

Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Price:

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 is priced at Rs 1,59,900. It is Rs 13,000 dearer than the previous version, and is available in Cyan Storm (new), and Racing Blue (new), Fluo-Vermillion and Metallic Black. The motorcycle is available only in one variant.

Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Features:

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 gets a new LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. Using the Yamaha Y-Connect smartphone app, one can access features including call, e-mail and SMS alerts, service reminders, last parked location, mileage, malfunction alerts, and post-ride stats. That said, there is no turn-by-turn navigation, which is disappointing. The bike also retains the same single-channel ABS as before. Other notable features include LED headlight and tail lamp, side stand engine kill function, and slip-assist clutch.

Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Engine:

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 continues to be powered by the same 155cc single-cylinder liquid cooled engine as before. It is enhanced with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, which ensures a good balance of low-end grunt and top-end drive. The powerplant produces 18.4PS at 10,000rpm and 0.2Nm more 14.1Nm at 7,500rpm, which is 0.1PS less and 0.2Nm more than its predecessor. The engine works alongside a six-speed transmission with a slip-and-assist clutch.

Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Suspension And Brakes:

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 employs the same deltabox frame as its predecessor, but it is linked to an aluminium swingarm instead of a box-section unit. The front telescopic fork has also been replaced with a 37mm inverted unit, and the rear comes with a linked monoshock. Braking is via the same 282mm front and 220mm rear as before, with single-channel ABS. 

Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Rivals:

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 primarily competes against the KTM 125 Duke, which retails at Rs 1,70,630. Apart from being a lot more expensive, the baby Duke does not have as many features as the MT-15 either. Another alternative is the more affordable, more powerful but less feature-packed Bajaj Pulsar NS200, which retails at Rs 1,36,090 (both ex-showroom Delhi).

MT15 Expert Review

The Yamaha MT-15 is a streetfighter offering based on the Yamaha R15. It comes with an aggressive design and a powerful engine, with Yamaha’s signature Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology. Let’s see whether the MT-15 has what it takes to recreate R15’s success but in the streetfighter segment:

Yamaha MT15 Version 2.0 Expert Review

Design

The MT-15 features an aggressive street fighter design which is in line with the design language that we have seen on Yamaha’s higher capacity motorcycles in the MT lineup. The headlight consists of an LED projector and twin LED DRLs that gives the bike a very menacing look. The fuel tank comes with large extensions for a sporty look. The stubby rear section is complemented by a sleek LED tail light, a tyre hugger, and a licence plate holder. The pillion grab rail, while being functional, sticks out like a sore thumb.

Yamaha MT15 Version 2.0 Expert Review

Engine, Mileage & Performance

The MT-15 comes with the same engine as the R15 but with a different tuning to suit the street fighter character of the motorcycle. The engine is a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor that produces 18.4PS at 10,000rpm and 14.1Nm at 7500rpm, working alongside a six-speed transmission along with a slip-and-assist clutch.

The MT-15 also comes with Yamaha’s Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology which is meant to balance low-end grunt and top-end drive. But in our tests we noticed a lack of bottom end grunt that persists up to 5500rpm. Where the engine shines is above 7000rpm, thanks to VVA. The engine is also very tractable and maintaining speeds as low 24kmph in 6th gear is quite easy.

Engine’s performance is quite impressive and when it comes to rolling acceleration, the bike is quicker than the R15. Vibrations do persist but they are minimal and only noticeable when riding at the top of the rev range.

Handling & Ride Quality

Thanks to the low kerb weight of 141kg, the Yamaha MT-15 is easily maneuverable and agile, making it ideal for city traffic. The suspension setup is very stiff and this helps keep the bike planted at higher speeds and also inspires a lot of confidence when cornering.

Yamaha MT15 Version 2.0 Expert Review

But the same suspension stiffness makes it really hard to ride on poor roads. Even going over smaller potholes feels troublesome. Overall the ride quality is great only on well-paved roads, but once the roads become a bit rough the rider will struggle.

The brakes are not that impressive and the lack of feedback is very apparent. The bike doesn't get dual-channel ABS and this results in situations where the rear wheel locks up and starts sliding when the brakes are applied suddenly.

Comfort

In terms of comfort, the MT-15 is able to offer a better experience than the R15 thanks to its relatively upright riding posture. The seat is adequately cushioned but is a bit towards the harder sider, this isn’t a problem in city rides but longer journeys on the highway can cause discomfort. But this isn't a deal breaker as the bike is primarily meant to be a city bike.

Features

When it comes to features, the MT-15 comes equipped with a LCD instrument cluster with bluetooth connectivity. The Yamaha Y-connect smartphone app allows the rider to access features such as call, email and sms alerts along with service reminders, last parked location and other information like average mileage and post-ride stats. Yamaha hasn’t included turn-by-turn navigation which is a bit disappointing. 

Should you buy Yamaha MT-15

If you are looking for a sporty naked bike that can provide good performance and is easy to handle then the MT-15 is a good bike. It’s not really high on features, but for most riders that shouldn’t be a deal-breaker.
