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.

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.

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.

Compared 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 More
I always liked naked body bikes, I heard from my friend and did a test drive on my friend's bike, the speed, torque and power I felt while riding it is absolutely fantastic, also though the bike is small in size I easily controlled it, the looks are also very aggressive and cool, pricing is average for this 155cc ranged bike also I felt the gear shifting is excellent and smooth. smooth feelings while riding this bike made me choose it. The ride is very smooth so far, the small size and light weight of this bike is very easy to balance, I felt like it does give good mileage on highway, although the mileage it gives in city must be improved, maintenance is also necessary time to time, The suspension is quite good but on big humps or pot holes it gives a shock of vibration but its alright. Yes, I would recommend this bike to anyone willing to buy a bike under 2lakh and want a bike with excellent powerful performance, mostly those who want to reach destinations faster with a smooth riding experience should choose this bike and I will recommend them.Read More
