Intro

Yamaha XSR 155 India is coming soon, with neo-retro styling on the proven R15/MT-15 underpinnings – and that’s why it matters for buyers who want style without compromising on daily usability. Yamaha has sent “Block Your Date” invites for November 11, 2025, while trackers suggest broader availability around December 2025, as per recent spy shots in India.

Yamaha XSR 155: India launch date and price

Yamaha’s invite for November 11 is a reveal window, with most listings pointing to a December 2025 launch for the XSR 155 in India. The expected ex-showroom price is around ₹1.75–1.80 lakh, which will position it between MT-15 and R15 in Yamaha’s lineup.

Design and features: retro meets modern

XSR 155 combines Yamaha’s “Faster Sons” philosophy with round LED headlamp, teardrop tank and a neat tail, shares R15/MT-15 platform and Deltabox backbone for rigidity. Expect full LED lighting and a compact circular display; multiple sources mention digital cluster, some markets have app connectivity, but India spec details are yet to be confirmed.

Engine and performance: the 155cc edge

At its heart is Yamaha’s liquid-cooled 155cc single with VVA, paired with 6-speed gearbox and assist & slipper clutch for smoother downshifts. Internationally it makes 18.1 bhp and 14 Nm, which translates to city pace and relaxed highway cruising at 100-110 km/h.

Ride, handling and safety

Built on Deltabox frame with telescopic forks and monoshock, XSR 155 should be stable and friendly for daily commutes and weekend getaways. Discs at both ends are expected, dual-channel ABS is widely reported for India, but final spec to be treated as “expected” till official confirmation.

How it compares to rivals

In the neo-retro space, XSR 155 will compete with Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin by offering lower weight, revvy performance and modern rider aids at similar price band. The value lies in its light weight and efficient 155cc package, making it a great alternative to larger, heavier retro singles.

Price and variants

While not yet confirmed, the XSR 155 is widely expected to launch in a single variant, a move that could simplify the lineup for buyers. ₹1.75–1.80 lakh (ex-showroom) will undercut many bigger retro bikes while offering premium stuff.

Conclusion

If November 11 is the reveal date and December the on-sale date, XSR 155 will be Yamaha India’s most affordable neo-retro, combining daily usability with style. For buyers waiting for a lighter, tech-forward retro that feels premium, this one is a no-brainer.
