Yamaha XSR 155 Launch in 2025 – Retro Style, Modern Tech & 155cc VVA Engine with
The Yamaha XSR 155 is finally making its way to India in 2025, and it promises to be one of the most exciting neo-retro motorcycles in its segment. Inspired by Yamaha’s heritage design, it carries the charm of a vintage bike with the heart of a modern street machine. Its round LED headlamp, sculpted fuel tank, and minimal rear section give it a unique character that blends old-school style with today’s performance demands.
Engine and Performance
At its core, the XSR 155 runs on a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). This motor produces 19.3 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm at 8,500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The assist and slipper clutch makes shifting smoother and helps during sudden braking. The engine is refined, responsive, and perfect for both city commutes and spirited highway rides.
Design and Features
The motorcycle carries a classic look with modern touches. A round LED headlamp, retro-style bodywork, and delta-box frame showcase its heritage design. At the same time, alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, LED lighting, and a digital instrument console make it practical for today’s riders. Safety is handled by single-channel ABS with front and rear disc brakes. The 10-litre fuel tank ensures good range for daily use.
Technology and Safety
Yamaha is expected to equip the bike with smart features like a TFT display connected via the Y-Connect app, offering turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, and ride statistics. Along with this, the assist & slipper clutch and ABS give riders more confidence in tight traffic and on twisty roads.
Riding Experience
The XSR 155 is built on a delta-box frame with telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear suspension, tuned for balanced handling. It feels nimble in traffic, yet stable on highways. Mileage figures vary—while early estimates suggest up to 100 kmpl, a more realistic range in everyday riding should be around 48–52 kmpl. This makes it both fun and fuel-efficient.
Price and Warranty
The Yamaha XSR 155 is expected to launch in December 2025 with an estimated price of ₹1.75–1.80 lakh (ex-showroom). Buyers will also get a 2-year manufacturer warranty, making it a solid value proposition for those who want a stylish yet reliable neo-retro bike.
