Yamaha XSR 155 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
The 155cc liquid-cooled engine makes 18.1 bhp and 14.2 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 137 kg that is 132 bhp per tonne, 34th best power-to-weight of the 73 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.

Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Traction control
Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
Slipper clutch
Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
