The front and rear of the bike are fitted with disc brakes along with telescopic suspension in front and linked type mono-cross in rear. Yamaha R15 features the first ever sporty stance in premium bikes in India. Its aerodynamic design offers a comfortable position to the rider and the low seat height of 800 mm gives more confidence to the rider.
