Overview
The Yamaha R15 S is a supersport from the Japanese manufacturer in the 155cc segment. The R15 S features a single-piece seat and is a bit more upright compared to the more sporty R15 V4.
Yamaha R15 S Price
The Yamaha R15 S is priced at Rs 1,50,700 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This puts it in the same price range as other supersports in the 155cc to 200cc segment. The bike got a bit more affordable in January 2026, thanks to the brand’s 70th anniversary celebrations.
Yamaha R15 S Colours
The Yamaha R15 S is offered in two colour schemes: Racing Blue and Matte Black.
Yamaha R15 S Variants
The Yamaha R15 S is offered in a single variant.
Yamaha R15 S Design
The Yamaha R15 S has an aggressive supersport design. But compared to the newer Yamaha R15 V4, the R15 S looks a lot simpler with a split-headlight setup, a single-piece seat and a telescopic fork. The bike’s design is a bit dated now, but still manages to look good.
Yamaha R15 S Engine
The Yamaha R15 S is powered by a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine which outputs 18.4PS at 10,000rpm and 14.2Nm at 7,500rpm. The bike also gets Yamaha’s variable valve actuation (VVA) technology, that allows the engine to have a balanced low-end grunt and top-end growl. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.
Yamaha R15 S Features
The Yamaha R15 S has a negatively-lit LCD console, which offers essential readouts like speed, tachometer readouts, time, trip and odometer. The console misses out on smartphone connectivity. The bike also gets dual-horns.
Yamaha R15 S Chassis, Brakes, Wheels, Suspension
The Yamaha R15 S is built on a deltabox frame and features a suspension setup comprising a telescopic fork and a monoshock. The bike also gets an aluminium swingarm, similar to the one offered on the R15 V4 and MT-15 V2. The bike rolls on a 17-inch alloy setup at both ends, with tubeless tyres. The braking setup consists of a 282mm front and a 220mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS. The R15 S has a seat height of 815mm, a kerb weight of 142kg (wet), and a fuel-tank capacity of 11 litres. The bike has a ground clearance of 170mm.
Yamaha R15 S Competition
The Yamaha R15 S doesn’t have any natural rivals in the 150cc segment, but you can look into alternatives like the Suzuki Gixxer SF 150 and Hero Karizma XMR 210. Compared to the rivals, the R15S is relatively more expensive than the Gixxer but a bit more affordable than the Karizma.

- Driven by single person onlyBike's performance is an excellent, powerful pickup, starts easily, one handed used only, driven 7700 km only within 3 and half years. Overall experience is memorable, sound is normal, highway experience is totally amazing, driving R15S vs other bikes is totally different, average can be maintained if we drive well.Read More
- The best bike of segmentIts a stylish bike. Very good looking and powerful with a muscular body and heavy duty. I love the bike since beginning, my dream bike and very solid bike. Better in every aspect in mileage, great in looks and performance. It's very sharp looking and comfortable for long rides also a good mileage provider, good acceleration and pickup, fast, smooth, tension free riding and less maintenance bike for sure.

- Pocket rocketThe only bike in the segment which provides you punchy power and aggressive position it may have some cons still who are above 5.5 height can ride this rocket comfortable. Personally I love riding sports bike and this is seriously a legendary one in the segment also from 200cc segment. I reached upto 153 of speed on a highway which is so much within a 155cc segment. End of the day its very sexy for enthusiasts who prioritise power over features. So good i mean its powerful but not that torquey its so light weight and too much powerful no braking issues for me personally and mileage i got is around 42 to 45 in city and around 50 on highways too good for college students but you get back pains and spine problems not suitable for long rides good for flicking in traffic. Yes i do, The things you have to consider while buying this is its power packed for a beginner its good for track not suitable for long rides and also you have to be confident while driving this when VVA kicks in you just fly.Read More3
