2023 Yamaha R15, M-15, FZ-X: what’s new?
Let’s start with the FZ-X, which is expected to receive the most important update of the trio. FZ-X 2023 has been watched before with dual channel ABS. Also, we suspect that there will be two variants that the FZ-X will be available for now.
One could be the standard variant (similar to the existing FZ-X), and the other could be the previously revealed scrambler styling version with details like the front windshield. new, new high-mount front fender and a tubular steel plate. frame around the headlight.
It remains to be seen whether Yamaha will equip two-channel ABS for both variants. The standard model, pictured above, features new matte blue and gold alloy wheels, similar to those found on the current YZF-R15 V4. Currently, the Yamaha FZ-X has only one variant priced at Rs 1.34 lakh.
The Yamaha MT-15 and R15 V4 appear to be mechanically unchanged and appear to have only been added in new colors. The MT-15 comes in a new glossy black/red colorway, while the R15 comes in a new matte black/gold colorway. Currently MT-15 is priced from Rs 1.64 lakh-1.66 lakh, while R15 V4 is priced from Rs 1.8 lakh-1.93 lakh.
In addition to the new colors, it is likely that Yamaha will make these bikes OBD-2 compliant, as the deadline to comply with these new standards is March 31, 2023. After this date, the bikes Those that do not meet these standards will not be on sale, which is why it is likely that Yamaha is updating its models ahead of time. With the advent of more stringent OBD-2 standards, vehicles will have to comply with much more stringent emissions standards. Considering the new color options offered and the added OBD-2 compliance, it looks like the price of these bikes will increase a bit.
