Yamaha has officially launched the Yamaha XSR155 in India, bringing its neo-retro styling and modern performance to the 150-160cc segment. Priced at an introductory ₹1,49,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the XSR155 is aimed at riders who want classic design with contemporary mechanicals.
Classic design, contemporary underpinnings
The XSR155 wears Yamaha’s “Faster Sons” design language — a round LED headlamp, teardrop fuel tank, simple single-piece seat and minimal side panels that give it authentic retro appeal while the Deltabox frame and modern suspension keep handling sharp and confidence-inspiring for daily use. It is offered in four colours: Metallic Grey, Vivid Red, Greyish Green Metallic and Metallic Blue.
Engine and tech — small capacity, lively performance
Under the tank sits a 155cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected single with Yamaha’s VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) that balances city flexibility with spirited revs. Yamaha’s published figures and independent spec sheets list peak power and torque competitive for the class, and the bike shares mechanical DNA with Yamaha’s popular MT family. Expect features such as LED lighting, an LCD instrument cluster and rider-aiding electronics that reflect the model’s modern-retro positioning.
Pricing, availability and warranty highlights
Yamaha Motor India has pegged the XSR155 at an introductory ₹1,49,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi) with bookings open online and through authorised dealerships; deliveries are anticipated to begin immediately following launch. As with recent Yamaha introductions, buyers should check for regional pricing and on-road costs, which vary by city.
Who should consider the XSR155?
The Yamaha XSR155 makes sense for riders who want a tasteful retro look without sacrificing modern reliability and tech. It positions itself against neo-retro and street-biased rivals in the 150–160cc bracket, offering a premium design statement for urban commuters and weekend riders alike. Early buyers may benefit from the introductory pricing and Yamaha’s after-sales network.
With striking aesthetics, contemporary features and Yamaha’s mechanical pedigree, the Yamaha XSR155 arrives as a convincing new contender in India’s midsize motorcycle market. Interested buyers should confirm final on-road pricing and accessory options with their local Yamaha dealer.
