Yamaha recently unveiled the R15 Version 3.0 officially in Indonesia at the Sentul International race track. 2017 R15 was unveiled by none other than the Yamaha Racing’s MotoGP riders, Maverick Vinales and Valentino Rossi. The all-new 2017 R15 is powered by a 155.1cc engine, which develops maximum power of 19.04 Bhp @ 10000 rpm and maximum torque of 14.7 NM @ 8500 rpm.
The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox, and the key rivals of R15 V3.0 are 2017 Honda CBR150R and Suzuki GSX-R150. Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 gets all-LED headlamp, al-digital instrument console, slipper and assist clutch, but it doesn’t get the much needed ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), not even as an option!
As of now, Yamaha has not announced anything officially regarding the launch of R15 Version 3.0 in India. Yamaha might consider R15 V3 for India after 5-6 months. If it comes to India, R15 V3 will get an ex-showroom price tag of INR 1.25-1.30 lakhs. R15 V3 is more powerful (19.04 Bhp) in comparison to the Version 2.0 (16.8 Bhp), but the new model develops less torque (14.7) than V2.0 (15 Nm). Yamaha R15 V3 will be available in 3 shades: Racing Blue, Matte Black and Matte Red.
