Yamaha is all set to bring its global hit, the XSR 155, to the Indian market. Already launched overseas, this neo-retro motorcycle blends classic styling with modern-day performance. With a muscular stance, premium design elements, and a peppy 155cc engine, the XSR 155 could soon become a popular choice among enthusiasts looking for something stylish yet practical.
The Yamaha XSR 155 stands out with its neo-retro design inspired by the legendary XSR lineup. It features a muscular fuel tank, a round LED headlamp, LED tail lamp, and a minimalist body design that screams retro cool. The bike will be offered in multiple eye-catching colour options, giving it a distinctive road presence. Despite its vintage vibes, it’s packed with modern design touches that make it look fresh and premium.
Powerful Engine
Underneath the classic bodywork is a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, the same proven unit used in the R15 and MT-15. This engine produces 19.3 PS of power and 14.7 Nm of torque, delivering strong low-end performance and spirited top-end pull. Mated to a smooth 6-speed gearbox, the XSR 155 offers a refined and sporty ride, perfect for both city commutes and occasional weekend getaways.

Yamaha has ensured that the XSR 155 is not just about looks and performance – it’s also well-equipped with practical features. Some of the key highlights include:
- Full LED lighting setup (headlamp and tail lamp)
- Telescopic front forks and monoshock rear suspension for a balanced ride
- Disc brakes at both ends for strong stopping power
- Deltabox frame for agile and sharp handling
- An expected fuel efficiency of around 50 kmpl, making it wallet-friendly in the long run
Expected Price and Launch
While Yamaha India hasn’t officially announced a launch date for the XSR 155, industry insiders suggest it could hit showrooms later this year or early next year. As for pricing, the ex-showroom price is expected to be around ₹1.50 lakh, positioning it competitively against rivals in the 150–160cc segment.
