The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 continues to be powered by the same 155cc single-cylinder liquid cooled engine as before.

The engine works alongside a six-speed transmission along with a slip-and-assist clutch.

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 employs the same deltabox frame as its predecessor, but it is now linked to an aluminium swingarm replacing the 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, apart from being a lot more expensive, 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.
