How is the MT-15

The Yamaha MT-15 is a 155cc bike with a design inspired by the 2020 MT-09. It is very aggressive and defined, with muscular lines, which makes it look like a bigger bike. The inverted front suspension and short tail also contribute to this.

In addition, the rear swingarm is made of aluminum (Diecast), usually present in larger and premium models.

The MT-15 MotoGP Edition has an engine with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) technology, which delivers more power at high speed and good torque and fuel economy.

It is a 155 cm³ single cylinder (4 valves) with liquid cooling and VVA technology, capable of generating up to 18.5 HP of maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 13.9 Nm/1.4 kgfm of torque at 8,500 rpm. The transmission is 6 speed with assist and slipper clutch and the fuel tank capacity is 10 liters.

The wheels are 17 inches chocked with tires measuring 100/80-17 at the front and 140/70-17 at the rear, tubeless. The curb weight (already with fluids and fuel) is 138 kg and the seat height is 810 mm.
