The engine now produces 19.5 HP and 14.8 Nm torque, offering quicker acceleration and smoother power delivery.

The bike also comes with dual-channel ABS, traction control, and ride-by-wire throttle, enhancing both safety and control.
The new model is designed to provide a balanced riding experience with upside-down front forks, a mono-shock rear suspension, and improved ergonomics. The split seat setup ensures comfort for both rider and pillion, while the lightweight chassis provides excellent cornering capability.
Impressive Mileage and Price
Despite its sporty performance, the R15 V5 delivers an impressive mileage of around 48 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its segment. Yamaha has priced the bike competitively at ₹1.95 lakh (ex-showroom), ensuring it appeals to both young riders and daily commuters.
With its powerful engine, stylish design, advanced tech, and efficient mileage, the Yamaha R15 V5 2026 sets a new benchmark in the 150cc performance segment.
