The design of the Yamaha MT-15 V2.0 retains its aggressive and modern streetfighter look. The sharp LED headlamp, muscular fuel tank, and minimalist bodywork continue to give it a bold stance. The bike now also comes with LED indicators, adding to its premium feel. The upright riding posture, combined with the sculpted tank and compact tail section, makes the bike visually appealing while providing practical ergonomics​.

In terms of color options, Yamaha offers the MT-15 V2.0 in fresh and vibrant schemes, making it stand out even more on the road. The overall fit and finish of the bike are top-notch, aligning with its premium pricing.

The Yamaha MT-15 V2.0 is powered by a 155 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke SOHC engine. It produces 18 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, making it one of the most powerful motorcycles in its class. The engine comes from the popular Yamaha R15 V4 but has been tuned to offer better low- and mid-range performance, which makes it well-suited for urban riding.

The addition of traction control in this model reduces the risk of wheel spin under aggressive acceleration or on slippery surfaces, giving riders more confidence when pushing the bike to its limits. The bike is also equipped with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch, allowing for smoother gear shifts and better control​.

The Yamaha MT-15 V2.0 offers an excellent balance between performance and handling, thanks to its Deltabox frame and aluminum swingarm. The bike feels agile and responsive, making it perfect for city commuting and spirited weekend rides. The dual-channel ABS adds a significant boost to safety, particularly during sudden braking scenarios.

The suspension setup includes telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, providing a balanced ride that absorbs bumps while still offering a sporty feel. The 282 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc brakes ensure confident stopping power. Paired with MRF radial tires, the bike maintains good grip and stability, even during cornering​.

Despite its sporty character, the MT-15 V2.0 offers decent comfort for both the rider and pillion. The single-piece seat is well-cushioned, and the upright riding position ensures that long rides are not too tiring. The 810 mm seat height might be slightly tall for shorter riders, but overall, the ergonomics are well-suited for most riders, providing comfort without compromising on control​.

The bike’s lightweight nature, with a kerb weight of just 139 kg, makes it easy to handle in city traffic and tight spaces, contributing to the overall riding experience.
