Yamaha has officially launched the updated Yamaha MT-15 2025, and it’s clear the brand is aiming directly at KTM’s street-naked bikes. With sharp styling, improved features, and a refined engine, the new MT-15 continues to build on its strong following among young riders who want performance without compromising on everyday usability.
Aggressive Design with Subtle Changes
The Yamaha MT-15 2025 retains its muscular, aggressive stance with a minimalist look that fans love. Yamaha has tweaked the LED projector headlamp for better visibility, and new graphics and color options give the bike a fresher, sportier appeal. The signature bi-functional LED DRLs are still present, giving it a strong street presence.
Feature Upgrades for 2025
Yamaha has added a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to view call alerts, SMS, and even phone battery status. Other key features include dual-channel ABS, assist and slipper clutch, and an updated USD front fork, which improves front-end feedback and handling on corners and rough roads.
Same Trusted Engine, Tuned Better
The Yamaha MT-15 2025 continues to use the same 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, but with refined tuning for better throttle response. It produces around 18.4 PS of power and 14.1 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) tech helps deliver a balanced mix of city rideability and highway performance.
Mileage That Impresses
Despite its sporty performance, Yamaha claims the new MT-15 can deliver around 48-50 km/l in real-world conditions, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its segment.
Final Verdict
With its aggressive looks, improved tech, and Yamaha’s proven reliability, the Yamaha MT-15 2025 is shaping up to be a serious rival to the KTM 125 Duke and Pulsar N160. It strikes a great balance between performance, practicality, and daily usability.
Yamaha MT-15 2025 Price in India
The Yamaha MT-15 2025 is priced at ₹1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). It may not be the cheapest, but for the features and refinement on offer, it’s definitely a strong value proposition in the premium commuter category.
