Yamaha R15S Launched in Nepal at Rs 5.69 Lakh
Key Takeaways
- MAW Rides launched the Yamaha R15S at the NADA Auto Show 2026 at Rs. 5,69,900.
- That is Rs. 70,000 below the R15 V4 BS6 at Rs. 6,39,900 and Rs. 85,000 below the R15 M BS6 at Rs. 6,54,900.
- The engine is a 155cc liquid-cooled four-valve unit making 18.4 PS and 14.2 Nm, with a six-speed gearbox.
- It keeps the Deltabox frame and dual-channel ABS, and adds a digital cluster, LED lighting, E20 fuel compatibility and a side-stand engine cut-off switch.
- The R15S runs a single-piece seat instead of the split seats on the V4, which is where most of the saving comes from.
The Cheapest Way Into the R15 Range
MAW Rides, the authorised Yamaha two-wheeler distributor in Nepal, has started selling the Yamaha R15S at the ongoing NADA Auto Show 2026. The price is Rs. 5,69,900.
That undercuts the R15 V4 by Rs. 70,000 and makes the R15S the most affordable way into Yamaha's R15 range here.
How the R15 line-up now stacks up
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| Yamaha R15S | Rs. 5,69,900 |
| Yamaha R15 V4 BS6 | Rs. 6,39,900 |
| Yamaha R15 M BS6 | Rs. 6,54,900 |
Engine and gearbox
The R15S uses the familiar 155cc liquid-cooled, four-valve engine producing 18.4 PS and 14.2 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed transmission. Those are the same figures as the rest of the R15 range, so nothing has been detuned to reach the lower price.
What it keeps
The important hardware carries over. The R15S retains the Deltabox frame and dual-channel ABS, which is the part buyers at this price usually have to give up. It also gets a digital instrument cluster, full-LED lighting, E20 fuel compatibility and a side-stand engine cut-off switch.
What it gives up
The visible change is the seat. The R15S uses a single-piece seat rather than the split rider and pillion seats on the V4 and the M, which makes it the more practical of the three for carrying a passenger, and slightly less aggressive to look at.
For anyone who wanted the R15's engine and frame without the top-trim price, this is the version to look at. Full specifications sit on our Yamaha R15S page, and every launch from the show is tracked on our NADA Auto Show 2026 page.
