Yamaha launched the 2021 MT-15 in Thailand with fresh new colour schemes in February. That aside, no other changes have been made to the updated bike. Here in India, Yamaha announced in November 2020 that customers planning to buy the MT-15 could customise their motorcycles with new colours. It is called the  ‘Customise Your Warrior’, whereby buyers can opt for 11 new colour combinations for Yamaha’s streetfighter. 

Yamaha MT-15 Price In India:

After the recent price hike, the customisable Yamaha MT-15 with custom colours is priced at Rs 1,44,900. In comparison, the base colour options (Metallic Black and Dark Matt Blue) retail for Rs 1,40,900, whereas the Ice-fluo vermillion shade carries a sticker price of Rs 1,41,990 (all ex-showroom, Delhi).

Yamaha MT-15 Features:

The Yamaha MT-15 comes with an all-LED headlamp and tail lamp, whereas the indicators are bulbs. That said, you also have the option of going for LED indicators, available as an accessory for Rs 1,490 a pair. The negative LCD instrument cluster shows the gear position, shift light, and mileage indicator, apart from the other run-of-the-mill information and tell-tale lights. The motorcycle also gets an engine cut-off feature integrated into the side stand. Yamaha has equipped the motorcycle with a single-channel ABS for optimum safety. 

Yamaha MT-15 Engine:

The MT-15 is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor producing 18.5PS at 10,000rpm and 13.9Nm at 8500rpm. In comparison to the BS4 model, the new engine makes 0.8PS and 0.8Nm less. The engine is linked to a 6-speed transmission with an assist-and-slipper clutch. The assist function reduces the lever effort whereas the slipper clutch prevents the rear wheel from locking up while downshifting aggressively. 

Yamaha MT-15 Suspension & Brakes:

The Yamaha MT-15’s Deltabox frame is linked to a telescopic front fork and a linked rear monoshock. The bike rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped with 100-section front tubeless tyre and 140-section tubeless radial. The latter offers better sidewall strength compared to conventional rubber, thus improving cornering confidence. For braking, it employs a 282mm front and a 220mm rear disc with single-channel ABS.

Yamaha MT-15 Rivals:

The Yamaha MT-15 competes against the KTM 125 Duke, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, and the Bajaj Pulsar NS 200. In its price bracket, you could also go for alternatives like the Vespa Elegente 150, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, and Ather 450X.
