I still remember the first time I heard the MT-15’s engine note echoing down a narrow city lane. It wasn’t just a sound, it was a statement. Now that the 2025 Yamaha MT-15 V2 has arrived, that statement feels sharper, more advanced, and even more secure.

What’s New for 2025

The bike still wears its aggressive streetfighter attitude, but it now greets you with a new 4.2-inch color TFT console on the DLX variant. It’s crisp, bright, and connects to your phone via Yamaha’s Y-Connect app. Imagine having call alerts, SMS notifications, and even your last parked location right there on your dash, no more frantic searching in crowded parking lots.

Safety has also stepped up a notch. The MT-15 is now equipped with dual-channel ABS, and the DLX trim also benefits from a Traction Control System. This is something you rarely see in this segment. It’s that invisible hand holding you steady when roads get slippery.

New shades such as Metallic Silver Cyan and Vivid Violet Metallic add flair, while long-time favourites like Metallic Black DLX and the MotoGP Edition remain.

Performance That Thrills

Beneath its bold design, the trusted 155cc liquid-cooled motor continues to deliver its signature performance. With 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm at 7,500 rpm, paired with Variable Valve Actuation, it delivers easy torque for city crawls and a satisfying kick when you twist open on empty stretches. Its assist and slipper clutch ensures smooth gear transitions while controlling rear-wheel hop during sharp downshifts.

Ride, Handling, and Price

Golden USD forks, a Deltabox frame, and a lightweight 141 kg kerb weight make it as flickable as ever. It’s the kind of bike that weaves through traffic like it’s dancing.

Prices start at around ₹1.69 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), and with EMIs from ₹5,643, it’s now within reach for many first-time buyers.

The MT-15 V2 in 2025 isn’t just about getting from A to B, it’s about making the ride in between unforgettable.
