Yamaha has rolled out the 2025 Yamaha MT-15, and it’s got bike lovers buzzing across India. This latest version of the streetfighter brings a more powerful engine, a thrilling top speed of 130 km/h, and a bunch of upgrades that make it a top pick for young riders and thrill-seekers. Let’s break down what makes this 150cc beast a game-changer.
A Stronger Heart for More Thrills
The new MT-15 packs a punch with its upgraded 155cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke engine. It now churns out 18.1 bhp at 10,000 RPM and 14.1 Nm of torque, giving it a slight edge over the older model. Thanks to Yamaha’s Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) tech, the power flows smoothly whether you’re dodging city traffic or hitting open roads. The 6-speed gearbox is slick and precise, making shifts quick and effortless. With faster acceleration and a top speed of around 130 km/h, this bike is built for riders who crave excitement.
Braking and Grip You Can Trust
Yamaha has upped the safety game with the MT-15. It sports disc brakes on both wheels, paired with dual-channel ABS for solid stopping power, even in tricky situations. The 17-inch alloy wheels come wrapped in MRF tires—100/80 up front and 140/70 at the rear—for excellent grip on city streets or twisty hill roads. New upside-down front forks and a lightweight aluminum swingarm make the bike feel nimble and stable, especially when you’re leaning into corners.
Bold Looks, Comfy Ride
The 2025 MT-15 turns heads with its fierce streetfighter design. Its sharp LED headlamp, chiseled fuel tank, and sleek tail give it a modern, aggressive vibe. Fresh color options like Ice Fluo-Vermillion, Racing Blue, and Metallic Black make it pop. Despite its sporty edge, the upright riding position and wide handlebars keep things comfortable for daily rides or longer trips. The pillion seat, though, is a bit compact, so it’s better for solo rides or short jaunts with a passenger.
Fuel Efficiency That Impresses
For a bike this sporty, the MT-15 is surprisingly easy on the wallet. Yamaha says it delivers 45-50 kmpl, thanks to its efficient engine and Blue Core tech. With a 10-liter fuel tank, you’re getting a range of over 400 km, which is great for city commutes or weekend adventures. This mix of power and mileage makes it a practical choice for riders watching their budget.
Price and How to Get It
The 2025 Yamaha MT-15 starts at ₹1.69 lakh for the standard model and goes up to ₹1.80 lakh for the deluxe version (ex-showroom, Delhi). Prices might vary slightly based on your city or dealer deals. You can book it online through Yamaha’s e-shop or head to a showroom for a test ride and financing options. With its upgraded features and sharp pricing, the MT-15 is ready to dominate the 150cc segment.
