The WR155 R dual-sport motorcycle was created to combine the best features of long-distance intercity riding with off-roading.
Yamaha WR155 R Spotted Undisguised Before India Launch: According to recently released spy photos from Bengaluru, Yamaha India appears prepared to unveil the eagerly anticipated WR155 R dual-sport motorcycle, which is fully unmasked. The WR155 R and XSR155 are anticipated to make their debuts at Yamaha’s scheduled November 11 launch event, which is just weeks before the sighting. It was earlier last month that the XSR155 was observed.

Yamaha WR155 R Engine
The dual-purpose motorcycle has several noteworthy characteristics, such as a fully digital instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, and a self-start. Its core is a 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that can produce up to 16.6 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 14.3 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. A six-speed transmission is connected to the engine.
Yamaha WR155 R Design
Based on the spy photos, it looks like a Yamaha WR155 R with a temporary red license plate was seen en route to a TVC shoot. The Yamaha Racing Blue paint job was identical to that of the global-spec model. It goes without saying that the Yamaha WR155 R is a popular motorcycle in other Asian markets like Indonesia and Thailand because it can be used for both off-roading and city transportation.

Yamaha WR155 R Expected Price
In the Indian market, the Hero Xpulse 210 and Kawasaki KLX 230 will be directly challenged by the Yamaha WR155 R. Both of these off-road vehicles are priced under Rs 2 lakh, and we anticipate that the WR155 R will be priced similarly. There aren’t many dual-purpose motorcycle options available to Indian motorcycle enthusiasts, so if Yamaha does introduce the WR155 R there, it will be a big step forward for the company’s home market.
Yamaha WR155 R Suspension
The Yamaha WR155 R, which sits on a semi-double-cradle frame, has a monoshock absorber at the back with extended suspension travel and telescopic front forks. It has dual-purpose tyres on its 18-inch rear wheel and 21-inch front wheel. The WR155 R maintains its off-roading nature by having a saddle height of 880 mm and a ground clearance of 245 mm.
