Yamaha YZR-R15 V3.0 Launched With Dual-channel ABS

With ABS becoming mandatory for all motorcycles above the 125-cc engine capacity, Yamaha have kept in tow and launched the YZF-R15 Version 3.0 with the said braking technology. The third-gen YZF-R15 from Yamaha has been gaining a fair bit of praise, from fans and loyalists of the small-capacity sportbike, ever since its initial launch at the Auto Expo 2018. All of them may celebrate further with the addition of not just ABS technology but also a new colour, called ‘Darknight’.

The YZF-R15 is the first in the 150-cc segment to be offered with dual-channel ABS, where the anti-lock braking system is working its magic on both wheels. In addition, the dual-channel ABS also comes with adjustable fluid pressure to further optimize the results on slippery surfaces. The Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 3.0 is powered by a 155-cc, liquid-cooled, four-valve, single that makes 19.3 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm. Weighing in at 142 kg wet, the new-generation YZF-R15 is, in all probability, the best sportbike in its segment.

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.
