Yamaha MT 15: Features Explained
Yamaha MT-15 is not only performance-packed, but is also loaded with just about enough features to make your life easier
Yamaha’s 155cc streetfighter, the MT-15 V2.0, comes in two variants: Std and DLX (Deluxe) with prices ranging from Rs 1,64,410 and going up to Rs 1,73,730 (ex-showroom, Delhi). It is designed to be a more practical sibling to the iconic Yamaha R15 V4, while retaining the same sporty character. Not just this, it also comes loaded with lots of practical features, and here’s the full breakdown:
Convenience Features
One of the biggest convenience features for the MT-15 V2.0 is the colour TFT instrument console (exclusive to the DLX variant) with Bluetooth connectivity via the Y-Connect app. This upgrade brings turn-by-turn navigation directly to the bike's display. The console also shows call alerts, SMS and email notifications, phone battery status, and connection status. Beyond navigation, the Y-Connect app tracks trip details, average speed, last parked location, and can even send malfunction notifications to the rider's phone. You can cycle through the menus in the TFT screen with the directional buttons on the left switchgear.
The standard variant gets a negative-LCD instrument console with a gear position indicator, speedometer, tachometer, odometer, tripmeters, along with real-time and average mileage indicator.
The bike also gets a projector LED headlight with LED DRLs, along with an LED tail light. While the standard version gets a pair of halogen indicators, the DLX variant gets sleeker LED indicators. Also, hazard lamps functionality is exclusive to the DLX variant only.
Safety Features
Yamaha has equipped the MT-15 V2.0 with a basic traction control system. This system monitors front and rear wheel speeds and reduces engine power to prevent the rear wheel from slipping during aggressive acceleration or on low-grip surfaces. While this is a bit of an overkill for a 150cc bike, it will be useful for beginner riders or in situations where there’s heavy rain and the roads are less grippy.
Brakes include a 282mm disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear. Crucially, dual-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is standard on both the Standard and Deluxe variants. This ensures that neither wheel locks up under hard braking, providing superior control and stability. Offering dual-channel ABS as standard, rather than as a variant-specific option, is a commendable move in our opinion, as it strengthens the bike’s safety credentials.
BikeDekho Says
The MT-15 V2.0 balances raw firepower with usable features rather than gimmicky ones. While the base variant doesn’t get TFT and connected features, it is still loaded with enough crucial information so that you don’t really miss anything. Yamaha also offers a smartphone holder along with a USB charging port, so you can simply buy those to enhance your navigation experience. This will be a much more convenient experience than using the turn-by-turn navigation in our opinion.
That said, those who want a more premium experience, and want funkier colours, including colour-coded wheels, then the DLX variant will make more sense.

- Unleashing the Beast within the V2The Yamaha MT 15 V2 is a top pick because it offers a perfect mix of style and performance for city riding Many riders choose it for the aggressive look that makes it stand out on the road Another big reason is the Variable Valve Actuation technology which gives you great power both at low speeds and when you are pushing it harder. It is also very light and easy to handle in heavy traffic while staying very fuel efficient It basically gives you the feel of a much bigger sport bike without the high running costs or the heavy weight. The ride is typically described as sharp and exciting because the bike feels very light and responsive. The upside down forks provide great stability and a planted feel when you are leaning into corners You probably notice that the engine is very refined and stays smooth until the variable valve actuation kicks in around seven thousand rpm giving you a sudden boost of power.

Overall it is a bike that makes every short trip feel like a bit of an adventure because of how quickly it reacts to your inputs. The Yamaha MT 15 V2 is a great choice because it gives you high end technology like a slipper clutch and upside down forks in a small and manageable package.

- Refined 155cc beastCompared to other segment bikes its the most aggressive and refined bike I have ever riden, the weight of this bike is so light that even the mentioned torque and bhp seems not to be true, the power delivery of the bike is so responsive and the tech is so advance that the torque push can be felt post 7500 rpm. I own this bike for more than 5 years and never disappointed in this machine, the refinement and reliability of this engine is commendable. Kudos to Yamaha. The comfort level is not that great and wont recommend for pillion either unless you change the seat cushions, rest the riding posture is very comfortable and little bit aggressive which is a positive for cruising and aggressive riding. Overall comfortable and no such complaints for daily commute, for long rides, solo rides are comfortable but pillion rider will feel the discomfort. I would definitely recommend this bike for all the beginners who wants to flaunt the looks and aggression of entry level sports naked, It was my first bike and best decision of my life. Great mileage with ample of power.Read More12 8
