Yamaha has launched the 2025 MT-15 Version 2.0 in India, bringing a refreshed design, smarter technology and improved performance refinement. The new model continues the signature streetfighter DNA of the MT series while offering modern features that enhance both practicality and riding pleasure.
Engine Power and Performance
The new MT-15 continues to use the proven 155cc liquid-cooled engine equipped with Variable Valve Actuation. It produces 18.4 PS of power at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm.
The 6-speed gearbox paired with an Assist & Slipper Clutch ensures smoother shifts and better control during aggressive or city riding. Yamaha has fine-tuned throttle response to make the motorcycle even more enjoyable in everyday use.
Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
One of the biggest improvements seen in the 2025 MT-15 is its enhanced fuel efficiency. Under ideal conditions, the bike can deliver mileage of up to 65 km/l. In real-world city and highway riding, users can expect around 45 to 50 km/l. With its 10-litre fuel tank, the MT-15 maintains a strong balance between performance and economy, making it suitable for daily commuting.
High-Tech Features and Smart Connectivity
The updated model brings a smart TFT digital display in the DLX variant, offering turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connection and smartphone pairing through the Y-Connect app. The app gives riders access to live ride statistics, fuel usage, maintenance alerts and even helps locate the motorcycle in crowded areas. The inclusion of Traction Control adds an extra layer of safety, especially on slippery roads.
New Design and Colour Options
Yamaha has refreshed the visual appeal of the MT-15 with bold new colour options such as Ice Storm, Vivid Violet Metallic and Metallic Silver Cyan. The bike maintains its aggressive stance with a muscular frame, sharp LED headlamp and aluminium swingarm. The overall styling is modern, edgy and very much in line with its “naked streetfighter” character.
Ride Quality and Comfort
The MT-15 continues to impress with agile handling thanks to its lightweight frame and well-tuned suspension. With USD front forks and a rear mono-shock, the motorcycle handles corners confidently yet remains comfortable for daily rides. The upright riding posture, supportive seat and smooth power delivery make it easy to ride in traffic or on longer stretches.
Price and Variants
The 2025 Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 is available in two variants. The Standard variant is priced at ₹1,69,550 ex-showroom, while the DLX variant with advanced tech features and the TFT screen is priced at ₹1,80,500 ex-showroom. Yamaha has positioned the MT-15 as a premium choice in the 150cc segment, offering value through performance, features and style.
Conclusion
With the 2025 update, Yamaha strengthens the MT-15’s position as one of the most exciting and feature-rich 155cc motorcycles in India. The blend of powerful performance, striking design, modern technology and improved mileage makes it a standout choice for new riders and enthusiasts alike
