The Yamaha MT-15 is also expected to get a price hike of Rs. 3000-4000 over the current asking price of Rs. 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The 2020 Yamaha MT-15 comes powered by a BS6-compliant version of the 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that also does duty on the new R15 V3.0. Much like the BS6 compliant R15, expect the engine on the MT-15 to also churn out 18.3 bhp and 14.1 Nm of peak torque, down from 19 bhp and 14.7 Nm of peak torque. The 6-speed gearbox will be retained. Other mechanical bits will remain the same as well including telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear, while a dual disc set-up takes care of braking duties. The Yamaha MT-15 faces competition from the KTM 125 Duke that gets similar pricing.
