Yamaha R15 V4 and R15s 2023 launched! What you need to know!

Yamaha just updated their latest R15 V4 and R15s. For the R15 V4 2023, they introduced a new color scheme called “Intensity White.” The color is somewhat dirty white but still striking to the eye plus it blends nice with the orange-reddish wheel rim color and the golden upside-down front fork adds that premium feel and look to the bike.

2023 Yamaha R15 V23 and R15s Features

While in terms of features, they now added a quick shifter which was previously only available in the Yamaha R15m. But for future buyers who plan to purchase the Dark Knight and Metallic Red colorway variants, take note that you can still get the quick shifter feature but for an additional cost. Unfortunately, the S variant still doesn’t come with a quick shifter at the moment.

Yamaha also improved the LCD console for the R15s variant, which now features more data information like average speed, average fuel consumption, and Bluetooth connection for the Y-connect app for your smartphone’s notifications.

Just like the Yamaha R15m, both the R15 V4 and R15s has the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with (VVA) variable actuation. 18.1bhp with a peak torque of 14.2Nm. It still has a 6-speed transmission gearbox, Dual-channel ABS and with assist and slipper clutch.
