Yamaha XSR 155, Nmax 155 Set for India Debut: What to Expect
Yamaha is set to expand its 155cc lineup in India with the expected launch of the XSR 155 and Nmax 155 today. Both models have created strong buzz among enthusiasts and will mark Yamaha’s move into new premium segments.
Yamaha XSR 155 – Retro appeal with R15 performance
The Yamaha XSR 155 is based on the R15 V4 platform and uses the same 155cc, liquid-cooled engine. It delivers 18.1 bhp and 14 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle features a circular LED headlamp, teardrop tank, and upright riding stance, giving it a neo-retro look. It will rival the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350RS, offering a stylish alternative with sportier performance.
Yamaha Nmax 155 – Maxi-scooter for urban riders
The Yamaha Nmax 155 is a premium maxi-scooter built on the Aerox 155 platform. It uses the same 155cc engine with 14.9 bhp and 14.4 Nm, paired with a CVT gearbox. Expect features like LED lights, a digital console, keyless start, and ample storage. It will compete with the Hero Xoom 160 and TVS Ntorq 150.
A smart 155cc strategy for India
Yamaha already produces the R15 and Aerox 155 locally, helping keep costs in check. With growing demand for lifestyle and premium scooters, the XSR 155 and Nmax 155 are expected to attract young Indian buyers looking for performance and practicality in compact packages.
