As a part of Yamaha India’s ‘The Call of the Blue’ campaign, the brand has introduced 2022 MotoGP editions of its most popular products in India. The models to get the new livery are – YZF-R15M, MT-15 V2.0, AEROX 155 and the RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid. The new Monster Energy MotoGP Editions of these products will be available at all premium Blue Square outlets across India.
From the Japanese brand’s motorcycle range in India, the YZF-R15M and MT-15 V2.0 get Yamaha MotoGP graphics on the fuel tank, tank shrouds and side panels. At the same time, the AEROX 155 and RayZR Monster Energy MotoGP Edition feature Yamaha MotoGP branding on the overall body.
The Japanese brand has always been synonymous with motorsports. Yamaha also has a strong racing DNA in international motorsports. Thus, the launch of these editions proves Yamaha’s commitment to offering its customers products that showcase this proud lineage.
The Yamaha R15M supersport bike showcases Yamaha’s racing background the best. The new Monster Energy MotoGP Edition of the R15M looks like a smaller road-legal version of the YZF-M1 MotoGP bike. Apart from the radical new graphics and Monster Energy graphics, the R15 remains the same mechanically. The new 2022 MotoGP Edition of the R15M will retail for INR 1,90,900 ex-showroom.
Thus, the R15M continues to use the Variable Valve Actuation (VVA)-equipped 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor. The engine delivers 18.4 PS of power and 14.2 Nm of torque. The R15M also gets a Traction Control System and a Quickshifter. To prevent wheel lock-ups while downshifting, it also features a slip-and-assist clutch.
As for the suspension, the R15M uses 37mm upside-down forks at the front and a linked-type monocross suspension at the rear. Braking is taken care of with a 282mm disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the back. For increased safety, it also gets Dual-Channel ABS as standard.
