The Yamaha MT-15 V3 2025 isn’t just another mid-segment motorcycle—it’s a rebellion on two wheels. Launched in India on August 5, 2025, this third-gen update sharpens everything fans already loved about the MT—its aggressive stance, rev-happy engine, and razor-sharp handling. Priced from ₹1.69 lakh (Standard) to ₹1.80 lakh (DLX), it’s easily one of the most exciting value-for-money naked bikes on sale today. Designed for young riders, commuters, and weekend thrill-seekers alike, this new MT is every bit the “Dark Warrior” Yamaha promised—sleek, edgy, and utterly addictive.
Aggressive Naked Design
One look at the MT-15 V3, and it’s clear this machine means business. With compact dimensions (1,975 mm long, 800 mm wide) and a curb weight of just 141 kg, the bike feels agile yet muscular. The sharper tank shrouds, LED twin-eye headlamp, and redesigned upside-down forks lend it a bold, mechanical look, while the Cyber Green and Racing Blue color options make sure it stands out on any street.
The 17-inch diamond-cut alloys wrapped in 100/80 front and 140/70 rear tubeless tires offer rock-solid grip, while the 810 mm seat height strikes a perfect balance between sportiness and accessibility. It’s compact enough for traffic slicing, yet confident enough for open stretches—a true streetfighter stance that combines aggression with control.
Tech-Loaded
Slide onto the saddle, and the MT-15 V3 welcomes you with a TFT digital display that’s as sharp as its looks. The screen shows gear position, lean angle, fuel economy, and Bluetooth connectivity via the Yamaha Y-Connect app—giving real-time updates for calls, navigation, and notifications.
The riding triangle is sporty yet comfortable, with wide handlebars and slightly rear-set footpegs offering an aggressive but fatigue-free position. Add in a USB charger, quickshifter, and riding modes (Street, Sport, Rain), and the MT-15 V3 feels ready for both daily commutes and weekend rides.
Performance
Under the skin, the MT-15 V3 carries forward its legendary 155cc liquid-cooled, SOHC VVA engine, tuned to produce 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm at 7,500 rpm. The Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system ensures peppy mid-range torque and top-end power, while the 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch makes gear shifts buttery smooth.
The bike rockets from 0–100 km/h in around 10 seconds, with a top speed of 140 km/h. Even with its sporty performance, the MT manages an ARAI-rated mileage of 45 km/l, making it practical for city rides. Its DeltaBox frame, 41mm USD forks, and monoshock rear suspension deliver phenomenal cornering stability and comfort—confidence that few in this class can match.
Safety and Ride Assurance
The MT-15 V3 doesn’t skimp on safety. It comes equipped with dual-channel ABS, disc brakes (282mm front, 220mm rear), and traction control for precise braking and stability. LED cornering lamps, side-stand engine cut-off, and wheelie control add a layer of security for both new and experienced riders.
With its TFT console, refined VVA engine, and new DLX trim, the Yamaha MT-15 V3 2025 takes the fight straight to rivals like the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and TVS Apache RTR 200. For its price, it delivers Japanese reliability, cutting-edge tech, and street-ready performance that’s hard to beat.
If you crave a compact, aggressive machine that thrives in the chaos of city streets yet thrills on weekend rides, the MT-15 V3 is your perfect match. It’s not just a motorcycle—it’s a statement of style, speed, and soul.
