Yamaha MT 15 V2 has been a favorite among young riders since it came out a few years back, and now for 2025, they’ve given it a fresh update. Launched recently in India, this new version keeps the aggressive streetfighter vibe but adds some cool tech and style tweaks. If you’re into bikes that look mean and handle like a dream, this one’s worth checking out.
Dashing New Looks That Turn Heads
The MT-15 V2 was already sharp, but the 2025 model takes it up with bolder styling. It sticks to Yamaha’s “Master of Torque” design, with a muscular body, sleek lines, and that snarling front end. The LED headlight is aggressive, almost like it’s staring you down. For this year, they’ve added new colors to make it pop—Ice Storm (a cool white-blue mix), Vivid Violet Metallic, Metallic Black, and Metallic Silver Cyan for the deluxe version.
Powerful Engine and Smooth Performance
Under the hood, the heart of the bike is the same trusty 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It pumps out 18.4 PS of power at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. That’s enough zip for quick overtakes and fun on open roads, with a top speed around 130 km/h. The Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) tech keeps things smooth across revs, so it doesn’t feel jerky in low speeds. There’s an assist and slipper clutch for easy gear shifts, and it now runs on E20 fuel, which is eco-friendly.
Cool Features for Modern Riders
What really sets the 2025 update apart are the smart features. The deluxe variant gets a 4.2-inch color TFT display—way better than the old LCD. It connects via Bluetooth to the Y-Connect app, so you can see turn-by-turn navigation, track fuel use, get maintenance alerts, and even find your parked bike. Calls and messages pop up on the screen too. Full LED lights all around, including the taillight, give it a premium feel.
Showroom Price: Affordable Thrills
Pricing is where the MT-15 V2 shines—it’s accessible for what you get. The standard variant starts at ₹1.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the deluxe with TFT and extra colors goes up to ₹1.80 lakh. The MotoGP edition, with racing graphics, is around ₹1.74 lakh. On-road prices add insurance and taxes, so expect ₹1.97 lakh to ₹2.05 lakh in big cities. Yamaha recently cut prices by up to ₹15,000 due to GST changes, making it even better value.
Mileage and Practicality on the Road
No one wants a bike that guzzles fuel, and the MT-15 V2 delivers here too. ARAI claims 56.87 kmpl, but real-world users report around 47-48 kmpl in mixed city-highway riding. That’s solid for a performance-oriented 155cc bike. With the 10-liter tank, you can easily cover 400-450 km per fill-up. It’s E20 compatible, so it’s future-proof for cleaner fuel. For daily use, the upright riding position is comfy, and the slim seat works for solo or short pillion rides.
