New 2023 Yamaha MT-15 and R15 makes debut in India, drops minor design changes only

Along with the FZ-S and FZ-X, Yamaha has updated its two motorbikes—Yamaha MT-15 and R15. Compared to their previous version, both models now get minor cosmetic and functional updates.

In this post, we’ll mention the Price of the 2023 Yamaha MT-15 and R15. We’ll also cover the design, specs, and features of these two updated Yamaha motorbikes. So, without any delay, let’s get started.

2023 Yamaha MT-15 and R15

The 2023 version of the Yamaha MT-15 has a design that is largely similar to its previous version. It spots a single-pod projector headlight, twin LED DRLs, a side-slung exhaust, and a muscular fuel tank. However, the updated version of the bike now features LED turn signals instead of halogen turn signals.

Additionally, Yamaha has introduced a new Metallic Black DLX color option for the MT-15, which will be available alongside the existing color options - Cyan Storm, Ice Fluo-Vermillion, and Racing Blue. It's worth noting that all of the color options come with a different shade for the alloy wheels.

Apart from minor changes in design, Yamaha has also added a traction control system in MT-15. Previously, this safety feature was offered in R15 only. Moreover, the MT-15 now gets dual-channel ABS, as opposed to the single-channel ABS offered in previous models

Similarly, Yamaha has also updated R15 with LED turn signals. With this, the R15 now has an all-LED lighting setup, as the existing versions already have LED bi-functional headlights, LED position lights, and LED tail lights. The R15 has also been updated with a new colored TFT instrument console that displays a range of information.

Cosmetic enhancement for R15 includes the introduction of a new “Dark Knight” paint scheme. This new paint option will be sold alongside the existing color options:  Metallic Red and Racing Blue.
