2015 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec Strikes

June 10, 2014 by Jim Gorde Leave a Comment

Yamaha Bolt R-Spec 2 web

The new 2015 Star Bolt R-Spec has finally been revealed, and the new bobber doesn’t sway from the popular previous model it was based on.

The R-Spec will be powered by a 942cc fuel-injected air-cooled V-twin, making 80 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed transmission, belt drive, 19- and 16-inch wheels for the front and rear as well as a low, comfortable 690mm seat, which is a boon for the slightly shorter riders.

Indeed, the most noticeable change is the new revised dash, which affords the rider much better visibility in bright sunlight. The new R-Spec has better performing dual rear shock absorbers coupled with piggyback gas reservoirs which have been especially tuned for the Bolt, offering a pliant ride. The seat of the 2015 R-Spec has undergone slight modifications and is now available in a textured suede with colour stitching. Among the plethora of accessories available are blacked out mirrors and black fenders, giving it a sober look. Although Star claims a mileage of 20-22 km/l (4.5-5 litres/100km), the small 12-litre tank will ensure frequent fuel stops on a longer ride.

Yamaha are offering the R-Spec in either Raven Black or Matte Silver, the Bolt R-Spec will be available starting July for a price of $8,390 (Rs 5 lakh).

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
