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.

- roller coaster of emotionsSeeing this bike for the first time on road was nothing short of fabulous and i decided to buy it, the next day only, my personal experience has a lot of ups and down. - week 1 gear shifting was buttery smooth bus after 500kms it got stiff and rigid - mirrors do not suit the bike at all - very impressive performance - 10/10 road presence - suspension is slightly rigid in city commute - riding posture is a mix of sporty and aggressive - engine feels very smooth yet powerful at the same time overall the experience has been great, if you are looking for a bike for daily commute with a punch of power and occasional long rides, would 100% recommend buying it eyes closed, more importantly if you want a bike that makes you smile when you look at it, go for it.Read More11 6
- This bike is awesome and stableI choose this bike because of performance and mileage. Everything is perfect in the bike and the look and design is really awesome. It looks like a racer bike. This bike suit me a lot because I am 5.6. The performance of this bike is really awesome. I can play with this bike and this is really awesome for cruising or for racing because it has high performance gears and stability of the bike is awesome. I will recommend this to buy because I get sufficient mileage for city rides and if I want to go to highway, I can get around 36 to 37 which is really nice for long tours and rides. It comes with very less weight.Read More4 3
