Breaking: Yamaha R15S Gets Stealthy With A New Matte Black Colour Scheme

It costs the same as the existing Racing Blue colour variant 

The Yamaha YZF-R15S goes stealth mode with an all new Matte Black colour scheme. The entry-level supersport is now available in two colour schemes, including the already on-sale Racing Blue colour variant. The new all-black variant retails at Rs 1,60,900 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is the same price as the Racing Blue colour variant after witnessing a Rs 1,000 hike as compared to June 2022.

The all-black colour accentuates the R15S’s aggressive body design with sharp styling elements. Unlike its sibling, the R15 V4, the R15S gets a unibody seat for a more comfortable everyday riding experience.

Apart from the new shade, the supersport remains mechanically unchanged and continues to be powered by the 155cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It produces 18.6PS and 14.1Nm and is mated to a six-speed transmission with an assist and slipper clutch.

Being an entry-level supersport, the Yamaha R15S rivals the likes of the KTM RC 125 and the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200.
