After much anticipation, Yamaha is finally gearing up to launch the XSR 155 in India, blending retro aesthetics with modern engineering. This motorcycle draws inspiration from Yamaha’s larger XSR series, offering vintage styling paired with advanced tech, making it a perfect option for young urban riders and retro-bike enthusiasts. Its international success has made it a cult favorite, and Indian fans have long awaited its arrival.
Classic Design With a Modern Twist
The Yamaha XSR 155 features a round LED headlamp, tear-drop fuel tank, ribbed single-piece seat, and a minimalist tail section all giving it a timeless appeal. Despite its vintage-inspired design, it comes equipped with modern touches like a fully digital LCD instrument cluster, LED tail light, and lightweight diamond frame chassis. The build quality and paint finish follow Yamaha’s premium standards, giving it a distinct road presence.
155cc VVA Engine Delivers Refined Power
At the heart of the XSR 155 is the 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), the same engine found in the R15 V4 and MT-15. It produces around 18.6 PS of power and 14.1 Nm of torque, delivering smooth acceleration and excellent mid-range punch. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, the XSR 155 ensures a thrilling yet refined ride experience, whether you’re cruising in the city or enjoying weekend highway runs.
High-End Hardware for Premium Riding Experience
Yamaha has packed the XSR 155 with top-tier hardware including upside-down front forks, a rear mono-shock, and disc brakes at both ends with single-channel ABS for enhanced safety. The 17-inch alloy wheels, grippy tyres, and 810mm seat height ensure it’s both agile and accessible for most riders. The bike’s kerb weight stands at around 134 kg, making it easy to handle in urban traffic and nimble on twisty roads.
Expected Launch Date and Price in India
Yamaha is expected to launch the XSR 155 in India by late 2025 or early 2026, aiming to position it in the premium 150cc-160cc segment. The expected ex-showroom price could be in the range of ₹1.65 to ₹1.75 lakh, putting it in competition with bikes like the KTM Duke 125, Bajaj Pulsar N160, and Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Yamaha may offer color options like Matte Silver, Vintage Red, and Midnight Black to appeal to different rider preferences.
A Stylish and Capable City Scrambler for the Modern Rider
With its retro-modern styling, refined VVA engine, and premium hardware, the Yamaha XSR 155 is set to be a game-changer for Indian riders seeking performance with personality. It’s not just a motorcycle it’s a lifestyle statement that blends form and function for today’s urban explorers.
