Yamaha XSR 155: Features Explained
All the tech that makes for this well-equipped neo-retro bike
Launched in November 2025, the Yamaha XSR 155 blends old-school design with modern underpinnings, making it one of the most interesting bikes in the 150-160cc segment. Sharing its platform with the Yamaha R15 V4 and Yamaha MT-15 V2, the XSR combines proven performance with practical features aimed at everyday usability. But beyond its neo-retro styling, the bike also offers a respectable list of modern features. Here’s a closer look at what it brings to the table:
Convenience Features
The Yamaha XSR 155 gets all-LED lighting, and a round LCD console that displays the speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel level, clock, mileage indicator. The layout is simple and easy to read, staying true to the bike’s minimalist theme. The XSR 155 also offers Bluetooth connectivity with phone alerts on the console. However, it does not get turn-by-turn navigation or music controls.
Safety Features
On this front, the XSR comes with dual-channel ABS and switchable traction control as standard. While traction control may not be crucial on such a small bike, it can be helpful on slippery or loose surfaces, especially for beginner riders. However, this Yamaha bike does not get switchable ABS or a side-stand down engine cut-off feature.

- Most Underrated BikeWanted a low cc but stylish and retro motorcycle and here XSR became by my favourite. It can be easily maneuver in city traffics so that you don't have to be struggle to drive. Light weight as well. Gets you great mileage of around 45 plus. The riding posture is aggressive and yes, you can feel the ride and that's what actually matters. The seat is quite hard but instead of replacing it you can have a s seat cover of 400 rupees which would make it but softer. If you want entry level retro bike or kind of new into riding culture have it, feel it and then eventually according to your needs upgrade. It is stylish, you stop at red signal, people stop and ask about the bike. Most underrated bike you can say.Read More
- XSR 155 in India reviewEngine reliability is very good, reviews from the international audience suggests, the neo retro design looks damn good on roads. I've got so many compliments over the looks. Performance is insane too. The ride can be difficult to get used to at first but it gets better with time. The engine is super powerful and vibrations are very less. You can feel the power as you drive. The bike is pretty light and agile. And as you rev beyond 7k RPM, the VVA kicks in and the experience just get drastically better. I highly recommend this bike. Comfort might be one of the problems at the start but it gets better over time. Also, the customisation options are insane. You can just tune it to how you want it. Possibilities are endless.Read More5 1
