Yamaha’s India division has the YZF R15 V3.0 as one of its popular models in the domestic market and it has been on sale since early 2018. The third generation of the affordable supersport has not received any major updates in India over the last three years and for 2021, it will gain a new red colour scheme as evident from the leaked information that have come up online.
The launch of the 2021 Yamaha R15 V3 looks to be imminent and the new red paint job will join Thunder Grey, Dark Night and Racing Blue in the palette offered. Expect the price to be around Rs. 1.53 lakh (ex-showroom) and the inclusion of the contrast red colour adds a definitive appeal and is applied on to the fuel tank, fairing and side panels while the cowl above the twin LED headlamps is done up in grey colour.
The front fender, rear tyre hugger, alloy wheels, exhaust, stepped up seats and engine area are finished in black colour. The 2021 Yamaha R15 V3 continues to measure a length of 1,990 mm, a width of 725 mm and it stands 1,135 mm tall with a wheelbase length of 1,325 mm and 815 mm seat height.
The powertrain is linked with a six-speed constant mesh transmission while the slipper clutch and dual-channel ABS system are standard. Built on a deltabox frame, it is suspended on telescopic front forks and monoshock rear suspension.
