But amidst this spike, still, if you want to live the dream, experience the thrill of a track, curve and are looking for any in the market that is performance-oriented and serves you with decent mileage, then the newly launched R15 M is the perfect match. The DNA carrier of the super sports R1M, the all-new R15M, is engineered in a way to perform every faculty of its predecessor and at the same time perform like any other regular commuting bike. The innovative and ferocious R15M is powered by 155 CC LC4V SOHC FI with VVA equipped with a traction Control System and a Quick Shifter producing 14.2 Nm @ 7,500 rpm of Maximum Torque, and 18.4 HP @ 10,000 rpm of maximum power making it a true contender to take the racing quotient to the next level.

Likewise, the further mastered aerodynamic body design gives a high-end look to the bike and stabilizes the airflow, enabling the rider to reach the top speed faster.
Performance
The bike uses the ‘liquid-cooled single overhead camshaft fuel injection engine’. An A&S (assist and slipper) clutch is adopted to make the downshift smoother. A&S also prevents excessive engine braking, which might otherwise affect chassis behavior. Similarly, to make the bike highly performing VVA (Variable Valves Actuation) system is assimilated. The system enables a generation of torque even at low RPM. The two intake valves: one for low- to mid-range rpm and another for high rpm, ensure good power and torque throughout the rev range.
Furthermore, the bike is engineered with advanced technologies like Traction Control System and Quick Shifter for better performance. The Traction Control System helps the bike stay intact with the road with its remarkable ability to reduce the chances of a wheel spin due to slippage caused by loss of traction. And, Quick Shifter is another impressive feature of the bike comes along. Quick Shifter (up-shift) allows for clutch-less shifting of gears, which is a significant component in making the ride comfortable by eliminating the need to use the clutch or throttle before and after a gearshift.
