R15 v3 design

The R15 v3 design is inspired by the legendary R6, the aerodynamics are absolutely flawless giving you perfect space to tuck, behind the windscreen during the straights while putting your knee down, and nailing the apex at the corners .the overall fit and finish and build quality is indeed good.The clip-on handlebar is low set and aggressive, and the footpegs are rear set, and the overall seating posture with sharper steering geometry is far more aggressive compared to version 2.0, and it's not so great for those who desire comfort.

in terms of equipment, Yamaha R15 gets a slipper clutch that allows you to do faster downshifts without running the risk of the rear wheel locking or hopping, and it also provides for a lighter clutch pull. The front forks are 41mm and offer a good front-end feel. The engine is an absolute gem and comes with variable valve actuation technology, which means we have two intake valve cams one for low to mid-range and the other for the higher rpms , they switch at the 7000 rpm mark and provide a smooth and consistent spread of power and torque right from the bottom end .through the mid-range and all the way up to the red line we also get dual-channel abs as standard which enhances the overall safety also adding to the safety is the side stand engine cutoff switch the instrument console is well lit up and very legible we also get a dual horn setup that really helps while riding on the highways and finally we have mrf radial tires that offer good road grip and longer life for regular use but to be really aggressive on the track I would suggest you swap the tires with Pirelli or Michelin or medzela.
