The third-generation Yamaha R15 comes with an interesting 155cc single-cylinder SOHC engine further enhanced with Yamaha’s Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) which is able to produce around 19hp at 10,000rpm and 14.7Nm of maximum torque at 8,500rpm. All that power is transferred down to its rear wheel via a six-speed manual gearbox.

To ensure that the rideability is smooth as butter, the Yamaha YZF-R15 is further elevated with an assist and slipper clutch which allows for easier roll-off from standstill and a more controlled stopping performance when going down through the gears for this 137kg sports bike.
