Yamaha YZF-R15S V3.0 Launched With Unibody Seat, Priced At Rs. 1.58 Lakh

India Yamaha Motor has announced the launch of the 2021 Yamaha YZF-R15S V3.0 full faired motorcycle. As seen with the previous-gen models, R15 with the 'S' suffix comes with a unibody seat, compared to the regular variant that gets two-piece split seats. As indicated by the name, the new R15S is based on the Version 3.0 model, and it will be sold alongside the YZF-R15 V4 model in India. The motorcycle will only be available in the Racing Blue colour and is priced at Rs. 1,57,600 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Speaking on the occasion, Motofumi Shitara, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group, said, "The YZF-R15 in its Version 3.0 was a huge success as it proved to be the most exhilarating model in the 150cc supersport segment with advanced technology and features. While the YZF-R15 V4 is being highly appreciated by customers across India, our research has shown that customers are also looking for a more viable option to commute with a pillion, without having to compromise on the Racing DNA of the R15. At Yamaha, we are always listening to what our customers' demand and make every possible attempt to meet those demands. Hence, the R15S V3 with a Unibody Seat was evident."

Braking duties are continued to be handled by disc brakes at both ends with a dual-channel ABS unit.
