Retro-Modern Design with XSR DNA
The Yamaha XSR155 takes its design cues directly from the brand’s global XSR “Sport Heritage” series. It sports a timeless look, featuring:
- A classic round LED headlamp
- A sculpted, teardrop-shaped fuel tank
- A comfortable, flat single-piece seat
- A circular digital LCD instrument cluster
This blend of vintage appeal and contemporary details gives the bike a unique and premium road presence.
R15-Derived Engine and Performance
Powering the XSR155 is the heart of a performer: the same 155cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine found in the R15 V4 and MT-15. This motor is equipped with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) and produces a potent 18.5 PS of power and 14.2 Nm of torque.
This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, complete with an assist and slipper clutch for smooth and light gear shifts. This setup is famous for its thrilling, high-revving nature, now packaged with a relaxed, upright riding posture.
Chassis, Suspension, and Brakes
The XSR155 is not just a styling exercise; it’s built on the high-performance R15 V4 platform. Its underpinnings are top-notch, including:
- The proven delta-box frame
- Premium USD (Upside-Down) front forks
- A linked-type monoshock at the rear
- Front and rear disc brakes
- Dual-channel ABS as standard
