Yamaha launched the MT-15 2.0 version in India a few months ago and has now officially launched the updated version of the Yamaha MT-15 2022 in Thailand.
In recent years, Yamaha has developed a variety of MT naked motorcycles including smaller, more beginner-friendly versions, especially in the Asian market. While models like MT-07, MT-09 and MT-10 are still quite popular in Western markets. Smaller versions like the MT-03 and the smaller MT-15 are ideal for both first-timers and those looking for a light, high-speed naked motorcycle for city use.
The design remains the same, bringing the features of the MT series with LED headlights with integrated DRLs to create a bunker look. This new version is equipped with anodized gold reverse fork for a more refined aesthetic. There are also highlights in the same turquoise color scheme on the striking alloy wheel body.
As for the engine, the MT-15 remains unchanged, still equipped with a single-cylinder, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, 155cc engine that continues to provide power for the new MT-15. Thanks to a high-tech engine, the MT-15 has achieved leading status with a capacity of 19 hp.
This compact yet powerful engine features Yamaha's VVA (Variable Valve) technology, which maximizes performance at higher rpm while optimizing fuel economy at lower rpm.
It is interesting to note that the instrument cluster on the MT-15 version in Thailand does not have Bluetooth connectivity. That coupled with the fact that the motorcycle doesn't even have ABS as standard are the main differences between what the Thai and Indian versions have to offer.
The Yamaha MT-15 2022 has a seat height of 810mm, a 10-liter fuel tank, and a weight of 139 kg. The 17-inch wheels with 100/80 tires at the front and 140/70 at the rear.
