The 2025 Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 has officially launched in India. The updated model now starts at ₹1.69 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-end variant is priced at ₹1.80 lakh (ex-showroom). Yamaha has added more value to the streetfighter by offering tech upgrades and fresh styling touches at a competitive price point.
Key Feature Upgrades in 2025 Yamaha MT-15
The biggest change in the 2025 model is the addition of a TFT instrument cluster. This digital display replaces the older LCD unit and brings several smart features to the MT-15 range. Riders can now access turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and detailed vehicle insights using Yamaha’s Y-Connect mobile app.
Once paired with the smartphone app, the system shows helpful information such as:
- Last parked location
- Fuel consumption tracking
- Malfunction alerts
These tech-focused updates make the MT-15 more convenient for daily use and more appealing to urban riders.
Design and Styling Updates
While the core design remains muscular and compact, Yamaha has introduced new paint schemes to give the bike a fresh visual identity. The 2025 MT-15 is now available in the following colour options:
- Ice Storm
- Metallic Silver Cyan
- Metallic Black
- Vivid Violet Metallic
The bike still features the signature twin-headlamp setup and sculpted fuel tank, which give it a bold and aggressive street presence.
Engine and Performance
The mechanical setup of the 2025 MT-15 V2.0 remains unchanged. It continues to use the same 155cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 18 hp of power and 14 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and comes with a slipper clutch for smoother downshifts.
To further enhance rider confidence, Yamaha has also retained the traction control system, which adds stability during quick accelerations or on slippery roads.
Competition and Rivals
With its new feature set and refreshed design, the 2025 Yamaha MT-15 V2.0 competes in the premium 150-200cc segment. Its closest rivals in the Indian market include:
- Honda CB Hornet 2.0
- TVS Apache RTR 200 4V
These motorcycles are priced in a similar range and target young buyers looking for stylish, sporty, and tech-packed street bikes.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 update of the Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 focuses on meaningful improvements that enhance the riding experience without changing the core performance. With the addition of the TFT console, smart connectivity, and fresh styling, it becomes a more complete package for urban riders. Yamaha’s decision to retain the same engine also keeps the reliability factor intact, while the pricing remains well-balanced considering the added value.
For buyers looking at an aggressive streetfighter that is now smarter and more connected than ever, the new MT-15 V2.0 offers a solid option in the segment.
