The Carbon Fibre Pattern, inspired by the Yamaha R1M’s bodywork, is applied using water-dipping technology and is visible on the front cowl, side fairings, and rear panels. The new model also comes with an all-black fender, updated decals, and blue alloys.

The bike is equipped with a Traction Control System to reduce wheel spin, a Quick Shifter for clutchless upshifts, and an Assist and Slipper Clutch to prevent excessive engine braking during downshifts.

The R15M includes a fully digital TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, and the Y-Connect app allows riders to access navigation and control music functions via their smartphone.
