Yamaha has also introduced an updated FZ range of bikes for 2022 which comes with new colour options and a new top-spec variant

With the onset of a new year, it is a usual practice that auto manufacturers hike prices of all or certain models sold under their roof. Yamaha is one of the first OEMs in the country to introduce a price hike on some of its models. The updated prices will come into effect from January 1, 2022.

The primary reason for the latest revision in prices has been a steep rise in cost of raw materials and safety regulation of footrest. The fourth-gen R15 V5 has witnessed a price hike of Rs 2,000 across all variants. Hence, prices of the new R15 will now start at Rs 1,72,800 (ex-showroom). No prices have been increased on the third-gen R15S model.
