The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • The 155cc VVA engine is genuinely one of the most rev-happy small-capacity motors sold in India
  • Real track-derived kit at this price: assist and slipper clutch, deltabox frame, and traction control on the V4

Worth knowing

  • Committed clip-on riding position is hard work in city traffic, the R15S exists precisely because of this
  • 141 kg kerb weight is on the heavier side for a 155cc single
