Aggressive New Styling
The R15 V4 is a muscular sport bike with leading inspo in Yamahas premium YZF-R1 and R7 models, muscular front cowl, two LED headlights, and a sculpted fuel tank. It is sleek with an aerodynamic fairing, split seat and paneled under-belly ventilated along with a candy apple red paint job. New metal coatings clear metallic paint- such as Racing Blue, Vivid Magenta, and full-black paint jobs give the motorcycle a drinking authority on the street.
Punchy Engine with VVA Technology
Technically, the R15 V4 is driven by a high revving 155cc liquid cooled, single-cylinder power engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). It has a rating of 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm, and 14.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm, which provides the optimal low-end torque as well as blistering top-end power. There is a smooth six-speed transmission system and an optional quickshifter that gives a lightning quick gear-shifting with no clutch, making each ride more interesting.
Enhanced Aerodynamics for Efficiency
