Yamaha Sets Nov. 11 India Launch With XSR 155 Tipped as Front-Runner

Recent XSR 155 test-bike sightings in India have raised expectations for a neo‑retro debut.

Overview

  • Yamaha Motor India has issued 'Block Your Date' invites for a new product reveal on November 11.
  • Multiple reports point to the XSR 155 as the likely unveiling, though Yamaha has not confirmed the model and the Nmax 155 scooter is also being discussed.
  • Camouflaged test mules spotted in India show hallmark XSR styling such as a round LED headlamp, teardrop tank, flat seat and 17‑inch wheels.
  • Reporting suggests shared R15/MT‑15 underpinnings with a 155cc liquid‑cooled VVA engine, a 6‑speed gearbox with slipper clutch, USD fork, mono‑shock and dual‑channel ABS, with output expected in the 18 hp and 14 Nm ballpark based on sibling models.
  • Official specifications and price are pending, with one outlet estimating around Rs 1.6 lakh ex‑showroom against rivals like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Kawasaki W175.
