IYM further said its new ‘MT-15 Version 2.0’ bike comes with new features like a MotoGP aluminium swingarm that offers improved stability in corners and under hard braking, along with a new digital instrument console with Bluetooth ‘Y-Connect’ app.
It is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled engine with a peak power of 18.4PS, it added.
“We are confident that with the new set of features and technology, the MT-15 Version 2.0 will attract more young riders who are in search of a premium street-naked motorcycle that strikes the perfect balance between weekend rides and daily commuting needs,” Chihana said.
