The fuel-injected mill with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology is paired with a six-speed gearbox. In addition, the features list remains identical to the regular YZF-R15M as it comes with traction control, quickshifter, golden coloured USD forks, Bluetooth connectivity, R1-inspired LCD instrument console with gear position indicator, track and street display modes, etc.
