The biggest addition in the YZF-R15 Version 3.0 is the all-new 155cc liquid-cooled SOHC 4-valve fuel-injected engine in place of the 149cc engine. The new power plant produces a maximum 19.3bhp of power at 10,000rpm and a maximum torque of 15Nm at 8,500 rpm. The power has gone up by 3bhp when compared with the YZF-R15 Version 2.0. The mill comes mated to a six-speed transmission that also features an assist and slip clutch. This makes the clutch feel lighter and helps the bike be in control under hard downshifts.
The new R15 also boasts of fully-digital multi-function instrument cluster with a gear-shift light and a connector for USB charging. The motorcycle continues with the Deltabox frame and suspension duties are handled by telescopic unit upfront and mono unit at the rear. Braking power comes from 282mm disc brake at the front while the rear gets a smaller 220mm disc, however the disappointing part is that ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) has not been offered.
The YZF-R15 Version 3.0 also gets an aggressive design in line with the bigger and flagship Yamaha YZF-R1. Redesigned headlamp cluster incorporates split full-LED headlights separated by an air intake. The new YZF-R15's fairing and the fuel tank are more edgy, giving the bike an athletic stance.
