The motor produces 18.4PS and 14.1Nm working alongside a six-speed transmission along with a slip-and-assist clutch.

The Yamaha MT 15 V2 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 dual-channel ABS.
