The Yamaha MT 15 combines muscled styling with spirited performance and precise handling, making it a great fit for city commuters and urban riders. The MT 15’s advanced electronics and aggressive streetfighter design enhance the everyday commute and weekend rides, making them adrenaline-filled escapades.
Aggressive Design and Urban Attitude
The MT 15 turns heads with its sculpted fuel tank and split-seat. The streetfighter look of the bike is completed with the Predator-face LED headlight. The bold tank shrouds combined with deep-set air scoops create a tank that is not only aggressive, but also sleek and dominates city traffic. The naked bike is further enhanced by the contrasting fuel tank and tail graphics that are dynamic without taking away from the rawness.
Thrilling Performance and Engine Dynamics
The heart of the bike is its single-cylinder, liquid-cooled 155cc engine that MT 15’s competitors don’t have. It’s equipped with Variable Valve Actuation for better overall engine performance. It’s capable of providing MT 15 18.4 PS of power with 14.1 Nm of torque making acceleration snappy. A six-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch also enables MT 15 to upshift smoothly without rear wheel hop and aggressive downshifts.
Cutting-edge Technology and Rider Display
Fuel assessment and real-time mileage are updated on the all-digital LCD panel, which also displays the speed, gear indicator, and other pertinent metrics. Yamaha’s smartphone integration displays notifications and texts, and also syncs with phone calls. Custom colour themes are available for the riders to personalise and the LED turn indicators and taillights also enhance the visibility of the rider while also improving the MT’s visibility which conforms to its futuristic design language.
Maintenance and Fuel Efficiency
The sporty disposition of the MT 15 is balanced with a claimed 45 kmpl fuel economy. Comfort is also enhanced with a 10-litre fuel tank and a five-step adjustable rear monoshock. Low-speed manoeuvres and U-turns are made easier with the lightweight aluminium components and minimalist underbelly design.
Confidence-inspiring Handling and Safety
The MT 15 is equipped with a Deltabox inspired frame, allowing the bike to remain rigid and agile for cornering. The steering is controlled by upside-down 41 mm forks which dampen bumps. Also, 282 mm front and 220 mm rear dual channel ABS disc brakes give consistent brake control under various conditions. Stay grippy with 17 inch alloy wheels and premium tubeless tyres, maintaining traction during every lean.
