Engine and Performance
When it comes to motorcycle engines and R15 performance, Yamaha has made no modifications in anything for the 2025 R15. It still packs the same liquid cooled 155cc single cylinder engine. In addition, the engine is intelligently advanced with the Yamaha Variable Valve Actuation technology that allows the bike to deliver greater power across a wider range of speeds.
