Its front fascia is pure predator vibes with twin LED DRLs and a central projector headlamp, giving it a glare that’ll make traffic part like the Red Sea.

The Variable Valve Actuation tech kicks in to balance low-end torque for city sprints and high-end power for track days—think 0–60 km/h in about 7 seconds and a top speed of 136 kmph (claimed 140 kmph). The 55.20 kmpl mileage stretches the 11L tank to 607 km, saving ₹20,000–₹25,000 yearly at ₹100/litre compared to a 30 kmpl bike.

At 141 kg, it’s light enough to flick through traffic, but the sporty riding posture (clip-on bars, rear-set pegs) might tire you on long rides—better for sprints than all-day hauls. The 170mm ground clearance (based on similar models) lets you lean hard without scraping, making this bike a track-ready beast for young riders who live for the grind.
Tech That Fuels Your Ride

Two riding modes (Track, Street) let you switch vibes, and the side-stand engine cut-off adds safety for those quick getaways. LED lighting saves power while lighting up the night, though the headlamp spread could be wider.

Rivals That Can’t Match the Rush

LTM RC 125 (₹1,89,900): 14.5 bhp, 45 kmpl, sharp but less tech-heavy.
Bajaj Pulsar RS200 (₹1,74,000): 24.5 bhp, 35 kmpl, powerful but thirstier.
Yamaha MT-15 V2 (₹2,00,000): 18.1 bhp, 48 kmpl, naked but less track-ready.

Speed Bumps on the Track Vibe
The R15 V4 2025 isn’t perfect—there are a few potholes to watch for. The pillion seat is cramped and uncomfortable, a drag for two-up rides. The LED headlamp could use a wider spread for better night visibility, and some online chatter mentions the brakes lack initial bite—decent but could be sharper. The aggressive riding posture might tire you on long commutes, better for short sprints or track days. Real-world mileage can dip to 45 kmpl in heavy traffic, so keep an eye on the fuel gauge during rush hour. The ₹2,12,378 top-end price feels steep for a 155cc bike when the RS200 offers more power for less. For a bike this fire, these are just small speed bumps on the road to track glory.
Who’s It Built For
This bike’s for the speed freaks—young riders who live for the thrill of track days, sporty commuters needing a 155cc beast to flex on city streets, and eco-conscious riders who love 55.20 kmpl efficiency. The Y-Connect tech suits social butterflies who stay plugged in, and the 170mm ground clearance handles urban chaos like a pro.
