Yamaha XSR 155 is positioned as a modern-retro motorcycle built on the same platform as the R15 and MT-15. The bike is one of the newest products from the brand for Indian buyers and it combines familiar performance hardware with a different design approach. The bike uses a 155cc engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) along with lightweight chassis components as well as everyday usability features. It targets riders looking for a balance between city commuting and occasional highway use, without moving into higher-capacity segments.
Price, Mileage And Practical Range
The Yamaha XSR 155 is positioned in the premium 150cc segment, which means typically above the standard commuter motorcycles due to its design and hardware components. It is basically for buyers who are willing
to pay extra for styling and platform advantages. Here's the complete ex-showroom price list for the model.
- Metallic Black: Rs 1.59 lakh
- Metallic Blue: Rs 1.50 lakh
- Metallic Grey: Rs 1.57 lakh
- Vivid Red: Rs 1.53 lakh
- Greyish Green Metallic: Rs 1.59 lakh
Mileage remains a key factor. Yamaha highlights efficiency as part of the package with the 155cc engine designed to deliver a balance between performance and fuel consumption. The XSR 155 claims a mileage of about 45.5 kmpl. With a 10-litre fuel tank, the bike offers a practical riding range suitable for daily commuting as well as short highway trips.
For Indian buyers, this translates into manageable running costs while still offering better performance than entry-level motorcycles.
Engine, Top Speed And Performance
The XSR 155 is powered by a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 18.14 hp of maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 14.2 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and features an assist and slipper clutch.
The Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system helps deliver power across a wider rev range to improve both low-speed usability and high-speed performance. The bike is capable of reaching a top speed of around 130 kmph, making it suitable for highway riding.
The lightweight chassis and balanced geometry improve handling especially in city traffic, while maintaining stability at higher speeds.
