Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan Does Daredevil Stunts On This Yamaha Dirt Bike: Watch Video

The action movie will hit theatres on January 25

The trailer of Shah Rukh Khan latest starrer ‘Pathaan’ shows quite an action-packed outing for the veteran actor. We see SRK’s eponymous lead piloting a range of vehicles, from a helicopter to even a powered glider, in many exotic locales. But what really caught our attention was the shot of SRK pursuing villain John Abraham over a frozen lake, with both the riders on Yamaha WR155R bikes.

But that isn’t the only time the Yamaha bike makes an appearance in the trailer, with another shot (perhaps from the same sequence, considering the snowy landscape) showing the protagonist jumping the WR155R over a military SUV, to drop a bomb into the SUV’s open roof hatch. 

The Yamaha WR155R is essentially the off-road iteration in Yamaha’s 155cc platform, seen in India powering the R15 V4 supersport, MT-15 V2 streetbike and even the Aerox 155 sports scooter. But though the engine size is the same, the WR155R makes 16.4PS (2PS less) and 14.3Nm (0.1Nm less) than the R15 and MT-15. And yet, considering its featherweight 134kg kerb weight – 8kg less than the R15, 5kg less than the MT – the WR155R would be quite a whiz off-tarmac, considering its long-travel suspension, and 21-inch (front) and 18-inch (rear) spoke wheel setup.
