Yamaha XSR 155 : Retro Looks, Modern Soul and Affordable Price

Approaching in 2025, the Yamaha XSR 155 is a modern motorcycle combining the conservation of a classic appearance and the current performance. Its small design, its round headlight in retro style, and the chopped off tail exemplify it on the street of Asian cities. Beautifully crafted on undercarriage of vintage lines is race-driven technology that appeals to riders desiring a touch of history and performance.

Engine and Performance

The XSR 155 has a 155 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine running the Yamaha Variable Valve Actuation. With a six-speed manual it produces 19.3 PS at 10,000 rpm and a 14.7 Nm torque at 8,500 rpm. Assist-and-slipper clutch provisions provide smooth up/controlled downshifting under hard braking.

Design and Features

The design of the bike complements modernity with the look of vintage because of Crystalline LED headlamp, saw the disc brakes on both front and rear, and alloy wheels fitted with tubeless tires. A one-channel ABS is more helpful as there is no indication of wheel lock-up in reaction to rapid deceleration. Speed, odometer, fuel level, tachometer is cleanly arranged on the analog-digital instrument console, and 10 litre tank can give a prolonged urban riding.

Technology and Safety

The XSR 155 is a modern bike that does not compromise on how it feels retro. Turn-by-turn navigation, call notifications, and ride statistics are enabled by a full-color TFT display and Yamaha-Y-Connect Bluetooth app. Safety can be enhanced by a slip assist clutch and single channel ABS in a specific way to the riding dynamic behaviour of solo riding so that there will be predictable handling of the bike when taking corners or braking in hard accelerations.

Riding Experience and Efficiency

There is a certain nimbleness to the XSR 155, whether on city streets or twisty backroads: the steel delta-box frame combined with the balanced suspension setup of telescopic forks in the front and a preload-adjustable mono-shock at the back. The bike despite its sporty nature still has an ARAI-restricted fuel economy of approximately 100 kmpl and makes it not only exhilarating but also economical in our day to day commutes.

Pricing and Warranty

The Yamaha India believes that the 2025 XSR 155 will be priced between ₹1,75,000 ₹1,80,000 (ex-showroom) with a lineweight of two-year manufacturer warranty. It is in high anticipation as fans await to share its retro styling with modern performance technology.
